Credit where it is due chaps, totally outplayed us on Saturday. Eriksen's delivery and vision is top drawer. Had the pleasure of watching it with a Spurs fan who was gracious in victory in fairness 
Morata is bloody awful though...any chance you can sell us Kane? Not sure why we didn't start Giroud when it was obvious you would press us. He is the one player who can hold the ball up for us and get others involved...and not be permanently offside. Luiz...where do I start?
Only gripe is Atkinson's view of the penalty not that it would have made a difference on the day.
Hope we return the favour at the Bridge!!
We got away with the Pen that's for sure .Morata is bloody awful though...any chance you can sell us Kane? Not sure why we didn't start Giroud when it was obvious you would press us.

Have to agree about Giroud though. I'd like him at Spurs.
Agree it was a pen. I know Foyth is still young but you'd have thought he'd have learned his lesson when he gave away 2 penalties in his first game. In fact what is this propensity for the new younger defenders to go lunging in, they all seem to do it? We were always taught to stand up in front of a player, especially in or around the penalty box. Do they not teach that in the academies anymore?

then go away to barca and beat them 0-2
Basically i just want to know if we finish level with inter on the head to head and then again on the GD who qualifies, do you know or you just going to run around misquoting?

Yes you should have had a penalty but you didn't deserve it because of Hazards blatant dive later.Morata is bloody awful though...any chance you can sell us Kane?

That's not how it works though, is it? You can't have a penalty for something which happened an hour later which the ref got right? Good one.Ascayman - Luiz has generally been OK apart from the Man Utd game where he dived in on Mata who supplied the cross for Martial's second. We have conceded these chances in a lot of games though, just been waiting to come up against a more clinical side.

I realise you didn't mean it like that though in reality and were jus exploring all avenues.
I love how he has this continued gush of belief that Utd are going to go on some 10-game unbeaten run and they'll smash all before them etc - and then 90 mins later he comes on with his hopes themselves smashed!

I think you're underplaying United's performance. Palace are a good side - they almost got a draw at home to Wolves a few weeks back.

That's not particularly relevant if you are behind the player and he's going away from you....dsmith1990 said:

He was awful i know he has a shocker in him but that was as bad as ive seen...

We were many things on Saturday but clinical certainly wasnt one of them, it would have been double figures if we were.
Having never listened to Talksport I can tell that they are the radio version of clickbait. Look how many teams have Spurs as their rival and it makes sense to hang s
t on them for ratings. Let alone the Spurs fans who love to be outraged.
Speaking of the media, Alasdair Gold wrote a piece on Ben Davies hanging st on the fans for their treatment of Sissoko before he turned into Messi. At least that is what the headline says. The actual quotes were a little more open to interpretation than that and he could have just as easily been referring to the press. Classic media.

Morata looked like he was on the take with that many offsides. I can't remember the last time I have seen such poor positioning. I'm sure Sarri will sort him out. As for Kane..."Harry Kane has now been involved in 134 goals in 166 Premier League appearances (115 goals, 19 assists)."
Not really. Scholes was never famed for his goals or assists. Lampard played in an average West Ham side until he was 23 and Gerrard didn't play an attacking role until years later.
If you want to compare him with someone "unreal", Ronaldo scored 55 goals alone playing as a winger for Sporting and Utd by the time he was 22.

If he turns out half as good as Ronaldo, he'd of had a terrific career.If you want to compare him with someone "unreal", Ronaldo scored 55 goals alone playing as a winger for Sporting and Utd by the time he was 22.
