Eddie was great tonight, just behind Khusanov for MOTM for me. Really young team at the start who'll get better and better.
A little cushion now from 6th place and beat Forest next and we're 3rd.
Nothing wrong with the 2nd goal, even Hoddle said the only handball was theirs but at least it didn't overly matter

Disagree it didn’t matter

The integrity of football has been compromised and tainted. If the game loses that there is no game

I didn't say it didn't matter. I said it didn't overly matter because all it cost us was 1 goal in the goal difference stakes.
Decision itself was a disgrace

I understand your pov, but it also deprived Erling of a goal which could count in the league top scorer which salad is winning and nobody wants that...

How have var said stick with goal and he changea it. Wasnt handball. There xunt handballs it and they take 5 mins deciding. Then nearly cost us as spurs xould have scored

2nd hald wank

Missed the goal

Haalabd must be fuming second half

Savinho wank cant shoot let alone score.

Kusanov motm not doku


Aparently the refs initial decision was handball so they have to check video to prove he didn't which they couldn't do so the on field decision stands. No advantage to the attacker. Defenders handball is irrelevant as the rules applied to defenders and attackers with regard to handball are different which is a disgrace.

That is correct with the procedure.

What is wrong here is how the ref gave the handball against Haaland in the first instance, as looking at the replays he couldn't possibly have seen it himself. And he didn't blow for handball immediately either.

Therefore he guessed. Or he had another agenda. And judging from the way him and the linesman officiated the game it opens up a lot more questions

Sav needs to grow a pair and improve massively if he wants to make it with City.

Looking at the extended highlights you can see clearly what the referee thought was a handball but it wasn’t. Not sure why VAR couldnt see it. The referee made a clear and obvious error and it should have been overruled.

Saw the highlights, if Sarr would had scored it would had been 1-1, 2 points dropped in the race for Champions League.

His finishing is very disappointing. If he can improve that he will be great.

His whole decision making is terrible. Beats a player then goes back to try and beat them again ffs. He’s young so hopefully it will improve.

I think he laid on 4 crosses that should have been scored - apart from his 1 goal , Haaland was woeful infront of goal yesterday and savio needs to be told to carry on playing regardless of being pulled back as he tends to give up and hope the referee blows for a foul - he has to get that shit sorted out once and for all .

The worst miss was by Savinho. He banged the ball into the ground. Any clean strike was a goal. He also lost possession badly in the second half which could have resulted in a goal. That said he’s got bags of talent and he’s very young. Doku played well. À brilliant cross which
Savinho should have converted plus the assist for Haaland caught the eye. They both need to improve decision making but hopefully they’ll kick on further next season.

I wonder if they need an attacking coach for that.
I would take Shrek, to be honest, as attacking coach. Besides the fact the rags will implode, he was a decent striker.
I remember that Sterling was ace when Arteta worked closely with him.
