exactly how I feel when I see the turgid bilge you post.

You forgot oneWell, Doherty in his 45 minutes
- twice as many passes as Kane
- Same number of shots as Kane and Son
- Won more aerial duels
- Made more crosses (I'm not sure Son completed a cross in the entire game)
- Got the ball in the back of the net
- Had a higher XG than SON
Not bad for a 'dreadful' player.
We didn't score the winner because Son is ineffective against teams that park the bus and Kane is still struggling to get any time on the ball. Excellent balls were played into the box by both Winks and Doherty which our strikers failed to attack. The piss poor header from Son took the biscuit!
I don’t demonise him, I just think he’s shit and haven’t been proven otherwise yetI'm no apologist for the guy, he is an ordinary player - but this constant demonising of Spurs players for not being global standard matchwinners is pathetic, and makes our fanbase look exactly like the people we are so readily accused of being.
Post-match interview, Conte's final words: "We have to improve the squad".
Just 4 days until the fun starts ...
he effectively scored a goal, which was disallowed for no discernable reasonI don’t demonise him, I just think he’s shit and haven’t been proven otherwise yet
If he turns his form round and shows that he has the ability to belong at the club then I’ll be the first to congratulate him and hold my hands up
One cameo yesterday in which he did sweet fuck all isn’t that for me
It's not his fault he's a right footed RB that was played on the left. There's no doubt the entire team and Conte himself knew that was what he would be doing.You forgot one
-played on the left and came inside unto his right every. fucking. time...
And having a higher xG than someone means you've missed the better chances so it's not really that much to brag about...
Doherty played really well compared to some of his previous outings, especially considering he was on his wrong foot. Got forward pretty well, can’t blame for not going outside or using his leftICYMI

Yes we can say we was robbed. But in the cold light of day this team doesn’t have the killer instinct to put games like this to bed . Could you imagine Man City playing against 10 men Southampton would probably at least have scored three or four .
Can you also imagine those city goals being struck off incorrectly?Yes we can say we was robbed. But in the cold light of day this team doesn’t have the killer instinct to put games like this to bed .

Two wrongs don't make two wrongs rights, right? Alright?Very disappointed yesterday in the ref/VAR decisions.
However today I take solace that we received 2 favourable VAR decisions against Liverpool so it doesn’t feel unbalanced.
But we did put it to bed. Kane scored. We forced their keeper to score an own goal.Yes we can say we was robbed.

What SHOULD happen, is that no lines are drawn.This is so disheartening. As someone said in the original Reddit thread - this should go viral.
And yet, when the referee clearly got it wrong with the "Doherty" goal, VAR did nothing.I thought that VAR should only overall where a clear mistake had been made by the on-field officials. Based on any line that anyone wants to draw it absolutely isn’t clear, and that’s where the injustice lies.
