I 100% disagree that it was a penalty offence, as both players looked at the ball and not each other.
Beyond that, my opinion is worthless, as it was given and the result stands.

29 shots and 15 corners!!
Sometimes (usually) football is a bastard.

But that style has brought us 2 league cups in 30 year!!! Last night is not the answer. I dont know what is but if we've conceded 5 against a poor team. Who couldnt even fill their bench!! Im venting but jesus im sick of it. Last night probably the worst. They give you hope they can play but then crumble at the first sign of pressure yet again
Mate, I DON'T think it's a pen.
BUT the officials do. This is a pen 100%, they are always given as pens.
Hmmm , no what I’m saying is that three world class players should be able to rustle more than five assists between them against Liverpool twice, Chelsea twice, Utd, City and Woolwich.
That seven games. Five assists and 8 goals between them.
We scored six in one of them games.
It’s just not good enough for our top players to only bulk the stats against relegation fodder and farmers.
Just like Doherty and Hart right
We’ve had this debate countless times on here though.
Against the top clubs Jose shits himself and tells players not to make mistakes and to defend.
HK you’re more likely to see in his own box than that of the opponents.
release the shackles and then you’ll see the players come out against these teams, with more assists and goals.
Obviously it will have a negative effect defensively though.
Yeah yeah Jose tells them to miss I’ve heard it before.
I suppose tactics made Kane miss a sitter just before Everton went and won it right.
Or maybe Bernard is world world class because he finished his
I suppose what works well at Inter Milan and Real Madrid, won’t work at Tottenham.
It’s really that simple.
What a match. We won't lose many if we play like that each week, except defensive errors we can score goals. Should've scored more even than the 4. We lost but we fucking fought that's all we want.
Lloris, I'm sorry he's frustrating. Keeps you in it with world class saves but then will let a soft goal in. If we had a good keeper lined up next year, getting rid may not be the worst thing in the world.
Sanchez, I just like him. I think he's lacking confidence big time but you can't knock that he tries. Honestly believe showing some belief in him could go a long way. Dier aswell isn't a lost cause. Either way we need a new CB. I think a world class CB with Rodon, Sanchez and Dier in a season isn't the worst thing. Toby for me is finished though, he's lost a yard or two and he's the type that needs that for me to play at the best level. It's about team dynamics and Toby unless he is happy being on the bench could harm things next season. He's not good enough to be out main man anymore.
Aurier and Doherty is fine for next season no panic there. Same as left side, I would rather have Davies move on and Sess and Regi though next season.
One thing I've been thinking a lot is about PEH, he's brilliant. Works so hard for the team but I think he isn't the holding defender he's being looked to be. In my head I'm thinking more like Liverpool years back with Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano. PEH isn't mascherano in that midfield, he's more of a Gerrard type player. Gerrard could defend, he was box to box though and I've seen enough now from PEH that I think adding a genuine holding midfielder and letting him more licence to roam would help us a lot.
Ndombele and PEH have brilliant games this season yet we're overrun in midfield time after time. Maybe it could be tried this season, Dier could sit as a holding man with Rodon and Sanchez behind as CB. Take some of the defensive strain off PEH in midfield and see what we can do with him and Ndombele pushing more forward. I actually see a bit of Alonso in Ndombele also in the way he can retain the ball.
Long post but ahhhh well

What won’t work at Tottenham?
That three world class players turn up against Liverpool once in a while.
Was it Jose that cost us the CL final too?
Im at the point now where i would try a CB partnership of Tanganga and Rodon, cant be any worse than what we have got , and at least the will get some experience!
Yes it is but it's a 100% pen today and the Ref and VAR was 100% consistent with all the others that I have seen (there were at least 2 that I've seen like this one in the last week or so alone).
Seriously who is moaning at Marine for that tweet, just banter, fair play to them
Sigh
Either Levy keeps hiring failure managers who can't perform within his very reasonable structure. He's done this for decades = failure. Has to go.
Or Levy's structure isn't working since no manager can succeed under it. In which case he's done this for decades = failure. Has to go.
Or there's a conspiracy where we have had a good enough structure and/or managers but players conspire to down tools?
Which is it?
Levy out or let's all investigate the player conspiracy?
Must be a fun place to be in Sammy's world, where every half and even low quality chance by a Spurs player must always be scored, and every quality move by opposition should never allow us to concede a goal.
It is if he doesn't realise the opposition have players who are trying to stop us scoring, and are actually allowed to play well and take their chances.
And the more often you allow the opposition both the possession and territorial advantage the more often they will take advantage. Best way to stop an opponent from scoring, is actually not allowing them the ball, and when they inevitably do, it as far away from your goal to hurt you.
