Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool | 6 Nov 2022 | KO 16:30 | Second Half Match Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

it was a pen. Even the biased liverpool lot at sky conceded they got away with one.

We also should have had a 2nd pen and possibly a 3rd if Konate was inside the box.

Someone posted that Sess was a pussy for going over so easily

He was running flat out and was shoved from behind

Laws of physics suggest that you’re going to go down flat on your face which he did

Ref was bent on this and other numerous occasions today

Notice even at the end of added time he only added 14 seconds which included a sub where Salah took nearly a minute to walk off and an injury

Ref bought and paid for imv
 
Well Spence is no back while Conte is here sadly but agree he should be and Udogie isnt here yet and he'll hopefully be first team quality. I could take Davies as a back up, he's ok. Sess at a push but thats largely on homegrown. We really need to move on Doc, Emerson, Sanchez, Tanganga and i'd say Dier as well. Not seen much from Lenglet to sign him up either. RWB and 2 first team centre backs needed imo.

If Spence & Udogie break through then Doh & Sess can of course go too....... (That was implied above; but perhaps not clear on my part....)
 
I genuinely can't watch us at the moment. I've been 4 times this season compared to the 20-25 games a season I have done for many years. Had a ticket for today's game and just couldn't be bothered to go. I don't even watch our League games on TV but do catch the odd CL match. I saw the Tweet of Kane's goal and that was the entirety of my viewing of today's game.

How pub players like Royal and Sanchez get to wear the famous Lillywhite shirt is literally beyond me.

I take my hat off to the fans that are still making the effort to attend.

I'll leave you with this.

What a wonderful quote by Blanchflower , trouble is I feel even more depressed now !
 
I thought sess went down under minimal contact. Wasn't enough to warrant falling down like that for me personally.
You see that called a penalty as often as not. What you want from the officials is consistency and there's not much on that call. Although I think it was a close matter I do think consistent with how it is normally called it was a penalty. He clearly shoved Sessegnon in a way that had nothing to do with trying to play the play, knocking him off stride.

Yep saw that. 4 minutes was a total joke the amount of time they wasted and kane having to help kick some other balls on they deliberately allowed to come on the pitch..none of that time factored in. It's totally corrupted officials quite clearly supporting certain clubs. How the fuck is it allowed. The kick to mouras head. Another joke of a decision

Whilst I personally didn't think that was a pen I did think the ref was wearing a Liverpool shirt under his shirt. I never use excuses for our losses when we deserve to lose but he gave them so fucking much and us so little. Hojbjerg kicked in the knee no foul I remember a high foot on the right on bentancur not given. He was a cunt today that ref.

I think those pushes are associated with the game and it being a contact sport. It's been done for years it was probably done thousands of times today on Sunday league pitches up and down the country and not thought anything of. I don't think there was enough force in it from memory.

Either give them or don't..... Just don't give SOME.

(See above video)

Sick of this crap...... Same as wrestling at corners...... If it has to be zero tolerance, then fine.... But ref the same rules accross the board.

Probably get more goals that way > Entertainment.
 
Won't happen in January but we need a new keep...big Fraser ain't the answer, neither is the T-Rex. I'd love Maignan but can't see him swap Milan for Spurs.

Need 2 beasts at CB. Just a reminder that Skriniar is out of contract in June so Inter may want to cash in in January. Though PSG is mad keen on him so we're fucked. We missed the boat with Sonny's countryman, who's killing it at Napoli. One to keep an eye on for the future is that Kalulu kid from AC. That Danso boy from Lens is looking promising too.

How many of us would wet ourselves for months if/when we got rid of Sess and Emerson?! I'd love to see Spence given a proper shot (so not just odd Cup game) but it just won't happen with Conte, will it. Shame we can't bring that Udinese kid over til Summer.

He's had his fair share of injuries, but I'd defo be intrigued to see what a player like Fekir could do at Spurs. Would instantly become our most creative player, that lockpicker we're so desperately missing...and he can fight on the defensive end too, he's no lightweight.

Can we find another Kulu too? Napoli struck gold with that Kvara kid from Georgia. Signed him for 10 mil, he's already worth a good 50 after not even 6 months. That's what top drawer scouting does...

I hear ya Bruvva but I’m kind of in the ‘in sickness and in health’ camp at the moment.
I’ve been critical of the style of late but I must admit I thought it was an improvement today.

I’m a glutton for punishment.. off to Forest on Wednesday and then back home to Leeds next Saturday..Nuuuuurse.😂
 
Just got home from the game.

I'm actually feeling relatively optimistic from the second half performance and the return of Deki.

It felt like Dier had turned a corner earlier this season but he has too many ricks in him to be considered first choice.

Bissouma is finally showing signs of the player he was at Brighton

Bentancur was class.

And nothing new, but royal is so bad. Doherty at least looks functional when he's on the pitch. Why on earth do we start royal over him. Does he have some sort of dirt on conte?

I think its clear to most of us how Kulusevski elevates our whole game. Been missing his dribbling, passing and crossing for a while. He gives us so much more control with which to launch wave after wave of attacks

yep they wasted over a min and a half throughout and the corrupt ref was so quick to blow.
He wasn't even attempting to hide his corruption. A minute or so after not giving a pen for Sess he gave a foul on Elliot (I think) for a lesser push then the TAA one.

He saw Hojbjerg get chopped and told him to get up loooooool. He was absolutely bantering us with the cheating.
