The Official Tottenham Hotspur thread [Vol 13]

[Guvernator]

It's the same 4 or 5 players that got Poch sacked and it's the same players that are bringing the rest of the team down now. Everyone knows who they are, Levy just man up and get rid already.

Kane and Son are having their usual in-season dip, no biggie.
Dele is looking back to near his old self. Hungry for the ball and making intelligent late runs in to the box. He really needs to be starting every game now.

Shame there is no one to pick his runs with a pass....

Ndombele and Lo Celso.

[Guvernator]

We need Lo Celso back ASAP. We also need Reggie in the team on a more regular basis, a new RB and a new CB.

We've been blaming Jose for the defensive way we setup and no doubt he has a hand in it too but our defenders just aren't good enough either, leaving our midfield and attackers isolated. Ndom and Hojb were running around like blue arse flies just trying to plug gaps for most of the game when they and the wingbacks should be pushing up when he have the ball so that we move together as a cohesive unit. The forwards hardly got a sniff of the ball in the second half yesterday and it all stems from our dodgy backline.

Have you been in a coma for some months? We've been as bad as you most of this year so it's not like we've just vanished now. I suspect it's to do with for example only 5 posts on here during your last game. There was more posts in our discussion about the pitch drainage than the football being played. Between our terrible form and you lot having to put up with Joseball when you have a team that could do far better then neither fans are exactly in a positive mood to go WUMing these days...

The secret thread is very chatty when the game is on. That's where all the cool cats hang out.

[_dobbo_]

I don't know which is worse, to find out there's a secret thread, or to find out I'm not a cool enough cat to be in it! SAD FACE EMOJI

Surprised there's not more of a kerfuffle about VAR though. I don't understand how it's a handball in our game and not a handball in the Liverpool-Chelsea game. Two almost identical incidents, two totally opposite decisions.

..aaaand there we have it - IFAAB announce changes to the handball law due to the interpretation of hand ball incidents not being applied correctly.

It says "not being applied consistently". Law 12 was applied correctly yesterday - fortunately for us - and VAR was right.

It is an offence if a player ... after the ball has touched their or a team-mate’s hand/arm, even if accidental, immediately ...scores in the opponents’ goal.

[Blib]

My contempt for VAR and how it sucks spontanaiety out of the game has no bounds.

If you'd set out specifically to destroy the very essence of the game and the raw emotions it produces you'd come up with VAR.

Yes it was applied correctly yesterday under the current law.

If this new change had been in place yesterday the Fulham goal would have stood.

I thought Adam had kidnapped him!

Has no one heard from him at all? Bit strange. Hope he's OK.

This might explain it.
