Rose and Ndiaye in the book and that's about it. 2-1 FT. Really not a great performance, by any stretch of the imagination, but we ground out the win. Puts us level with points with Liverpool with a game in hand and a point behind Man Utd before their game with City. That'll do.
That is a poor performance by Spurs. No real game management at 0-1 or 1-2. Rose getting drawn into handbags.
PHEW! That was far from pretty, but it was Stoke away, so I am not going to complain too loudly, and simply chalk this one up to experience.
I didn't see the replay of the Son appeal - was that a pen? Also did they score with the assistance of a handball? The player put his hands in front of his face - understandably - but it's still handball surely?
****ing joke of a performance from Dier off the bench. Ref was awful too, completely crumbled under the pressure Stoke's players fans and manager put him under and gave some ridiculous decisions to them. We're lucky that Diouf ****ed up his chance but what an incredible piece of defending it was from Jan, covered the pass Diouf wanted to make all the way until he could play the bloke offside, then closed the gap on Diouf enough to stop him wanting to cut inside all while covering the pass to the players behind him. Sure Diouf made mistakes, that's always going to be the case when you're 4 on 1 but don't score but that's one of the best bits of defending I've seen. Lots to pick over but **** it, we got the win. Motm Alli, closely followed by Dembele who was everywhere for the full 90 and of course Jan who never put a foot wrong.
Was out drinking 7% cloudy cider last night. Now have 7% brain and liver function. "**** me, Dave. I must never drink again."
No-ones seen a replay I think. But wouldn't quibble their goal. He was brave and Lloris was a clown. End of!
Nah, he put his hands up because Lloris was about to clobber him there. Never a handball for me, just lucky that it helped deflect the ball back to him.
Kane and Lloris piss poor. Despite scoring twice I also thought Eriksen was well below par. Alli MOTM for me, caused them problems, got an assist and linked play nicely. Jan was great as well, his positional awareness when in that 1 on 4 scenario just sets him apart from many CBs, that was elite level defending. Lamela helped with keeping possession when he came on, too. Who's dick does Lucas need to suck in order to get some minutes, though? Dier wasn't needed to come on and Kane was ****ed before half time! How he stayed on for 90 mins I'll never know. Lovely to hopefully help send those ****ers down, I utterly despise them and they're right behind the London rivals in terms of hatred.
This 100% Getting credit for their performance today.... Feckin' joke. They basically kicked us off the park - and all the ref did was talk to Shawcross - 3 feckin' times. Good riddance!
