They've made it more difficult for themselves with that clear and obvious nonsense, a mistake is a mistake and Anthony Taylor made one there...amongst 50 or so others yesterday.

Half-watched the Spurs Palace game last night. They didn't really cause too many problems. I have to say, Van de Ven must be one of the quickest players in the league, let alone quickest defenders. He is absolute lightning. Whenever Palace thought they were in for the counter, he just goes flying past them and takes the ball! You can see why Dier's not going to get a game in this system - comparatively speaking he'd look like he was walking.
I know nobody understands the handball rule anymore, but surely the Palace goal shouldn't have stood? Within three replays I could see it hit his chest and then his left hand - I thought the rule was if the scorer uses their hand or arm at all it's disallowed? VAR took another 20 replays and about 3 more minutes, and they couldn't see the touch off his hand apparently, because they allowed the goal.
It’s fantastic watching Tottenham play under Big Ange, so much energy and enthusiasm from the players.
Whilst I wouldn’t swap the tactics or the formation, the thing we need to be careful of is the quick turnover as we play with such a high line.
Maddison and Son apart, the other two standout players have been Bissouma and Udogie.
Pedro Porro looks like he can be a liability at times. Whilst technically a very good footballer, his decision making and positioning is suspect. Twice he got caught out at Palace and was to blame for the Palace goal.
Very positive foundations and it’s the closest style we’ve had since Pochettino.

If they mic up the refs and explain their decisions it will be fine
Clear and obvious is a very good system .. if the on field ref can justify why they made that call because of x y z then fine
But if they see the footage and they miss a punch in the face or something then that will impact the decision
Everything is subjective and it's the lack of ref mics to the stadium and TV that are part of the real issue

I only saw it briefly on MotD but it looked like a foul to me and on the line of the box. Therefore a penalty.
The Burnley offside however was a complete farce.

You can't knock Pickford out, there's no brain there to koDid like him spring back up, to be fair Pickford's all mouth I'd back kudus to knock him out
.Kudus looks a cracking player. We've chased him for a while but we were never going to get him.

If only they would drop that useless lump Antonio and play him there ... We have 9 men ATM
Carrying Antonio and cresswell
Kudus hand caught the back of his head on the way down. Not life threatening, no foul, but he did catch him.
