Hope Moussa can keep his head for 2nd half, any more little fouls and get him off. To be fair we are way better than PSV. Cut out the freekicks against and we'll be fine.
 
Turn it up second half and they won’t live with us. Just hope Barcelona can do the business later & don’t go into the game thinking that a point will do (which it would at this stage)

The was a very good half from us. No idea why the goal was disallowed, ridiculous decision. Great cut back from Tripps, need more of this from him that was the first time he got behind them, so much better than aimless hoofs into the box. Eriksen has made a couple of loose passes but on the whole hasn't looked too shabby at all, Dembele also mopping up well, Dier aggressive and pressing them well too, a couple of lovely passes from him too.

Our system isn't giving them too many chances, which is just as well because they have literally only had two open play attempts at our goal and they've hit the woodwork and scored!!! Hard to work out exactly why we are so shit defensively, terrible error from Toby, then again got beaten for the shot that hit the bar, Davies also shit at allowing the player through.

If we play like that again in the 2nd half we win this game. Think we need to compress, get our front 3-4 closer together, early on we were pinging the ball about really well but as the half went on the distances increased and whoever was on the ball was isolated and had no quick options to ball off.
 
What are you talking about there is a defender on the line, Kane is in front of


Yeah but that last man is usually the Goal Keeper! kin ell. Think about any normal offside given in a game! the players is ahead of every player bar one - usually the keeper!! in this case he's ahead of the keeper.
 
I like Davies but I can’t remember a performance this campaign where he was more than just there. Otherwise, he’s been actively bad.
He was good as a back up but he's a limited first choice and thus I think needs to be moved on. Had some good games but he's mostly slow, not overly technically gifted and nor is he creative. Thus when he gets it he doesn't often do much with it. Gets burned by oppo players frequently too
 
In theory, Kane was offside and therefore any interference with play makes the offside call correct.

Only there was absolutely no interference. Only the linesman pussying out after spotting him there (IMO).

Pretty shite way for the ongoing wait for a Davinson goal to continue.
:pochrolleyes:

Reminds me of the one where Kane was ruled offside even though he was in his own half (the keeper had gone up for a set piece). The linesmen just trying to get plaudits for knowing the second-to-last rule, ignoring the other important aspects.
