Weird that he didn't, isn't it, given that he spends most of the game doing precisely that whenever a ball is lofted up to him from the defence? I suppose he saw the goalmouth and forgot all about his usual falling over routine.

My mate, who works at Stockley Park, managed to get this photo of the VAR guys discussing the incident.
Fuck it , I’ll say it .
I still thought we were poor , showed a bit of fight but pool went through our midfield like it didn’t exist on several occasions. Tel was often the out ball which ended in losing possession 9 times in the first half alone . Danso was calm and dealt with many dangerous situations. You can see Richie is a fighter but lacks quality. Solanke was non existent but having no one to really link up play it’s to be expected .
It’s a great result and there were improvements in effort but tactically it was a bit of a mess

2nd half was much better than the 1st half, the thing is we know quality wise we were always going to be crap, what we were looking for is the effort and desire and we got that.
It's still a good day, sunshine.

Leeds are definitely in the relegation fight.
We've got to play them at home as well.
If it is not us, I think Leeds will end up going down. West Ham and Forest are both playing well and have a lot of fight.
we seem to be be agreeing on things here
Kinda agree with this. It was very messy, but tactically it was better than the previous games. They did the basics today. They fought.
Small steps.
because they have been shitty most of the sason
draws at home to Sunderland Burnley and Leeds
away draw at Leeds
lost at Wolves
which is why I wanted Tudor out before the game, this wasn't a free hit there was a chance to turn them over
Yep we were robbed by very poor officiating!
They keep blathering on how it’s the best league in the world, well sort out the sub-standard officiating!
Playing a little cautiously is not a problem imo.
Traditionally Spurs are a team that play on the front foot yes. But having the gamesmanship to know when to sit back is perfectly fine. We just cannot play sitting back all the time.
If that’s true then that’s awesome. Or is it more of a slight on Liverpool
Yep. Others will have to fight there way in
Got to say agree with this. Rest Gray as he has been pretty much the only ever present.
Probably because we were chasing the ball for most parts of the game and it was 1-0 after 18 mins. You don't have to run an awful lot if you are just passing it around with 65% possession and not too much intention of scoring a second.

Both but I'm looking purely from the context of us.
Liverpool often get outran this season but so have we so a 9km swing is telling.
We ran 3km less than Burnley for example and we had our lion share of possession, we've been outran in our last few Prem matches so this is a significant step that shows that we are fighting and putting the work in.
We ran 3km less than Burnley when we played them and had more of the ball, it's not just about what you do OOP.
