The "deserving" game is a favourite of pundits and fans alike but it's really just a meaningless consolation verb that losers hide behind.
I can almost understand it if it's used concerning refereeing decisions, and I can see the reason behind it if it's because of many more big chances created (even though it's still wrong and meaningless.) But to say that a team deserved to win because they had more of the ball and made more precise passes is simply ridiculous.
This is not gymnastics or ice skating where you're given points for your performance. You win if you score more goals than the opponent, simple as. There's no aesthetic jury determining a deserving performance.
And he's 2 years younger than Alan Shear was when Shearer got to 186 goals.....

Better second half again and it was a deserved victory if hardly fluid. At least Kane and Conte acknowledge the performances need to get better. I'd still like a ball player or 2 in that side though.
The positive is that we are winning games despite having so much room for improvement.
But if we don’t improve quickly we will not be able to keep winning games. Conte was spot on with what he said just now on Sky, we have to be braver on the ball and play with personality. We shouldn’t be afraid of making a mistake, not to the extent that it stops us from actually playing. Liverpool, City and Chelsea are not afraid to make a mistake.

Credit where it is due. Just read this on bbc…
Nottingham Forest’s starting XI for this game was made up of players who were all British, the first entirely UK starting XI for a Premier League game since Blackpool’s against Manchester United in May 2011.

No. If someone shows ability, then you should do your best to show that you have more ability. Fouling them in that way is like swiping the board game across the room because you're losing - it demonstrates pathetically weak character, not to mention far more 'lack of respect' than they were allegedly showing you.
Reminds me of Ronnie O'Sullivan once taking the six colours with his left hand, only for his opponent Alain Robidoux to complain afterwards in the press conference that it was disrespectful. O'Sullivan's response? "Maybe he should spend less time in press conferences and more time on the practice table, then he could do it too". Bang on.

WTF????..
You'd expect one of our players to put in a potentially career ending challenge on a fellow professional.... Just because they hurt your feelings with a bit of keepie uppy???
Jesus Christ...... What a bunch of wankers the world has become.
Was nice to see some pace!
It’s about time ‘arry gave the little runt a bitch slap and a reminder that we paid his wages for the best part of 3 years whilst he offered up mediocrity at best
There was absolutely nothing 'career ending' about the tackle whatsoever. It was so not career ending that the referee gave a yellow instead of a red.
He took him out in a non dangerous but painful way. There's no need to wet yourself over it.
I think him and Perisic has the WB duo would make us even better. Spence will get there. He seemed to have something to prove out there. His defending too was great. He was putting his body on the line in the box to block shots.
Just needs to average 2.7 goal per game now to pass satellite ears at Old TraffordAnd he's 2 years younger than Alan Shear was when Shearer got to 186 goals.....

Whereas this place of course is full of high-intellect football geniuses...
Which we lack in many positions at present
