He was just a shit ref in general. Outrageous calls on both sides. That yellow the PSV player got for a perfect tackle on Dier in the second half was laughable.Doesn't excuse our wastefulness or errors but that ref was CLEARLY on the take
There was no need for him to come out and do the challenge, same shit vs BarcaIt’s wasn't just him though, Toby set up the first goal and Eriksen was the reason why Hugo had to make that challenge in the first place.
I'm not concerned about our game right now. We conceded from set-piece once again and Lloris bring them back to the game.Fuck me, with the next two fixtures coming up this could be a looooong bloody week. Need a reaction for fuck sake Spurs
Add Eriksen getting his passing sharpness back ASAP (good ideas this evening not always well executed).Gunna say, we actually look ok. If, and that’s a big fuckin, IF, can stop being cunts at the back, especially in the last few bloody minutes then we’ll be alright.
Whatever happened to the Spurs of a couple of season's ago. CBs sweeping the ball wide to Walker and Rose, who then took on the defence themselves? Now the CBs have so little faith in Trippier (less so) and Davies that they rarely try this tactic. Davies was very good tonight at kicking the ball off the pitch!
So it's slow, slow, slow crabbing sideways, brainless, retain-possession-at-all-costs football. Our CBs must have the highest completed passes stats in the Prem League.. But we rarely go anywhere. Give it to Dier/Dembele/Winks and they'll pass it back to you! First thought of Dier/Winks is to pass it backwards.
Not sure where we go from tonight other than Man C!
Taking Moura off for Lamela baffled me. Son had to go surely. All huff-n-puff again tonight, poor shooting, etc. He's horribly out of form
Ref/Hugo/Toby....
Which signing would have voided that clusterfuck exactly?
The point is that those things would have been less likely to be so decisive if we had a stronger team with more quality.
It's not a certainty but buying quality definitely increases the chances of playing better.
If we don't progress from the group then I genuinely hope we finish 4th. We don't need that EL shit, let's focus on domestic challenges.
