Big style, as a former keeper he should’ve been diving out at DCL feet.

I wonder if Ole will stick with De Gea through loyalty. Think it’s a case of watch this space.

I wonder if Ole has got the balls to drop De Gea. He seems a bit of a "yes man" and I'm not sure he's got the cohanas to make the big calls.

But it’s the incredible pessimism that I’m talking about. Typical spurs, we got to the CL final then messed it up. We were so useless under pochetino, could only manage top 4, make a mess of everything etc etc.
Where do spurs fans set the bar in terms of an acceptable result? I find it really grating.

While I’m on about Spurs, can’t help feeling the criticism of mourinho is harsh.
Spurs doesn’t have the squad depth of Liverpool or City, so is more exposed when injuries hit. Don’t know if mourinho has budget/ permission to spend big on players for the bench, but it takes several years to build the squad in any case.
Obviously they shouldn’t be losing to Brighton at any time, but neither should Liverpool.

I think you can get away with losing if the style of play is still pleasing. At the moment Spurs are going full Mourinho, 10 men behind the ball, play on the break, whether against the top team or the bottom team in the league. That's fine when you win but you lose friends quickly when you don't.

It's complicated. I'm not spurs, so not sure I'm entitled to post, but I'm friends with plenty.
Supporters want to like their club and experience vicarious pleasure when watching them play. Spurs supporters get none of that - their manager is an unpleasant bully (see Luke Shaw et al), and the football they play is lacking in any sort of joie de vivre or panache. They all know that we're looking at them and thinking "ughh, maybe you, Orikoru, are a bit horrid like Mou, and a bit boring like your cr@#@y team" ;-)
Contrast with Leeds. Have a hipster manager and play, variously, some of the worst and very best footy that there's been this season. 3 points less, but at least they can walk the streets with their heads held up.

Kane back hope Jose not rushing him back to soon, it’s happened in the past.

I'm shocked Kane is back, I didn't know that was on the cards. Shape looks much better with no Sissoko, Ndombele deeper, Lamela in at number 10 and Bergwijn out of the team as well. Only negative is Sanchez and Aurier playing. But overall looking positive, should be able to secure a disappointing 1-1 draw instead of a crushing defeat.
Maitland-Niles is in their team, you can put your house on him scoring against us.

Luckily I don't attach my self worth to how my football team are doing so I'm fine. ? I just want us to win, if we don't, whatever.

"Only West Brom" but the balance was far better today. Obviously Kane makes an enormous difference, but also dropping Sissoko was the right call. He really has no place in the team in games where we expect to have possession of the ball. I think Lucas showed he's a better player than Bergwijn too, with a great run and perfectly weighted pass for the second goal. Lastly I think Lamela had a good game at number 10 - I quite like him in the middle there, a little bit creative but also gives you some aggression and steel. Sort of like Dele used to do before he went off the boil.

Random irritation - The ref has just given Liverpool a free kick a yard outside the penalty area and allowed the wall to line up level with the penalty spot. No way that was close to 10 yards. At best they should have been half way between the penalty spot and the 6 yard box.

Stupid from Fabinho.
Might get away with that playing in midfield.
But you can’t do that at CB in the area.
We just look slow again.
To many backward passes.

Pathetic dive from Salah. There was contact obviously but throwing yourself to the ground like that is just cheating. Yes I know they all do it, but it is really annoying.
