Love or hate him, that is some save from Martinez.

Not seen the game, but didn’t the ref get the memo that the penalties go to Liverpool

It’s a bad miss from a player of Sons class.

Joe Hart impressing as a studio pundit. Interesting take on the GK as you'd expect but in general he sounds intelligent and knowledgeable.

Does come across well - even more so when next to Defoe

Agreed, when I first saw him I was not expecting how good he was. Very insightful and knows what he's talking about.

Rashford closing down and putting a shift in. Fair play. I hope he does well and finds himself.
Contrast him to Alan Shearer.
I like Shearer as a studio pundit, but as a co-commentator he is just awful.

He seems to shout when he is on co comms
Spurs look like a team that’s running on empty

Sounds out of breath with faux excitement. I can hear him doing that weird lip licking thing too!!

Actually watched a game for the first time in months. Spurs looked farcically bad in the first half - no idea how it was only 1-0 at half time. Are we always that bad? 
Bit better second half until we conceded the second, then at sizes and sevens again. The players look clueless like they've been left to their own devices. #Angeout can't come soon enough.

Unfortunately we have been that bad for awhile now really bad, regardless if what he’s said in the past the Liverpool and Brentford games were like the bad old days of Conte.
I liked to cut him some slack because of all the injuries and when we had a fully fit first team we could play some exiting football and beat anyone.
But any manager has to adapt tactically to whatever circumstances are thrown his way, and Ange has not been able to do this.
I don’t like the idea of constantly changing managers but his time must be up now.

Premier League: Players' celebrations could lead to punishment if they are deemed critical or mocking
Some of the celebrations have been very funny [and] entertaining but theres a line, said the Premier Leagues chief football officer, Tony Scholes; Once it crosses over into mockery or criticism, then we would need to deal with it, he added
Ridiculous from the league
You can see it playing out. A lower club like Southampton will do it they will come down on the player like a ton of bricks next week haaland will do something twice as bad and nothing will happen.
Just like only players from outside the top 6 were done for diving retrospectively when it was a thing
Ban a top 6 big star like Salah and haaland and suddenly these issues go away a lot quicker but nobody has the guts

Iliman Ndiaye received a yellow card after he scored Everton's winner against Brighton and then celebrated by flapping his arms like a seagull.Premier League: Players' celebrations could lead to punishment if they are deemed critical or mocking

In the past, Jamie Vardy has mimicked an eagle when scoring against Crystal Palace
Similarly, Neal Maupay was thought to be mocking James Maddison when he copied the midfielder's darts celebration after scoring for Brentford against Spurs a year ago.
Seriously? These are considered to be mocking or critical? HTF do you do an impression of an Eagle anyway?
World has made another step towards madness....in ten years time a player scoring a goal will need to write a personal apology to all the opposition fans for the pain that the goal caused.
While we are on madness....why is the FA cup draw on the One Show tonight? Why cant it be done after the Doncaster v Palace game? Are they trying to boost the ratings of a 3rd rate TV magazine show?

Agreed.
If the celebration was Gazza style, and the player playing a flute whilst scoring against Celtic, I get it. Or Robbie Fowler's drug taking celebration.
But, flapping arms like a seagull? Wise up. Players should be able to light heartedly give a bit back to the crowd, or another player every now and then. I appreciate they keep re-writing the rules to try and make every single decision black and white, to help officials get everything correct in this VAR world, and a world where every decision if discussed to death in the media afterwards. But, it makes it all worse, black and white decisions will never happen, because fans have radically different opinions on what is black and what is white.
Just give the officials the chance to use a bit of common sense again. It should be rare that an official has to book someone for celebrating, unless they take their top off. And even that automatic yellow card seems silly, given players can basically strip down to their underpants after the final whistle if they really want.
