Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Hahahahha.
Having more passes than the striker is nothing special. Most players in the team will have more passes than the striker.
Running into the box is easy part, what did he do with the number of shots?
How many aerial duels were the other players involved in?
Wingback makes crosses. Big deal. That is the only thing he is good at though.
When you have to dig up a disallowed goal where the goalkeeper drops the ball and mistakenly put it in with the back of his foot as some great thing doherty did, you are clutching at straws here.
Having a higher XG means the chances he ended up with had a better chance to be scored. So more was expected from the positions he shot from and he failed. You want a higher xA to be considered creative or whatever.
Reported tooSpiderSpurs obviously you were going to disagree.
Exactly. It means he ran into the box and someone found him in a great position only for him to fuck it up. People confuse xG with xA.
There was more contact between Doherty and Forster than either tackle Salisu got booked for, and they were both correct.
Clear and obvious doesn't apply in the case of offsides. Never has.
The Tottenham-hating media said it was 10 men Southampton holding out against 11 men Spurs, it wasn't. It was 12 men v 11 as Anthony Taylor, probably the worst ref in the EPL and on VAR Martin Atkinson (who is Chelsea's favourite ref) conspired to cheat Tottenham.
Remember that video at the start of the season where Mike Riley and Anthony Taylor were saying how they would allow more contact to be made before giving a foul? Well it lasted 3 games and they saw Spurs top and Woolwich bottom. They had an international break then came back and Jon Moss sent off Tanganga for 2 small fouls and gave Palace every dive in the match.
The FA have been keeping Spurs down for years because Sky support Woolwich and Spuirs are their natural enemy. So all the talk from Riley meant nothing, it's the same crappy refereeing we had last season and every season before.
They will carry on cheating Spurs with the armpit offside fake lines which they also promised to not do anymore and Anthony Taylor giving a foul he never saw and VAR not showing him the monitor. It's very obvious and corrupt but nobody in the press says so.

Offsides in general are clear and obvious. They draw the two lines and then its clear if its offside or not because we can see the two lines. Just like goalline technology, even the smallest fraction of the ball is still on the line , its clear and obvious that the ball hasnt crossed.
You cant do that with a foul which might be determined if someone used enough force to push someone . You cant measure that , so those kind of decisions are not clear and obvious.
either tackle??? he committed about 3 fouls before he eventually got his first yellow.
Who got you the tin foil hat for Christmas?
I'm not disputing that if you read my post properly.
When people moan about why a played instead of b, or why c replaced d, it's easy to forget that our players (and theirs of course) had had just 46 hours rest.
It's amazing that both teams could offer an entertaining game in such circumstances without any fatigue-related injuries

I wonder would you have taken the same stance with Greaves when he played for us?
Alot of overreacting on here imo. We got unlucky yesterday and had a good amount of realistic goalscoring scenarios. I was pissed after the game as well, but right now, we still need a few adjustments. A more creative player is missing, like Ndombele or GLC, but if Conte doesnt trust them, then thats that. Also the wingbacks need to be more aggressive and stretch the opposition. It was pretty easy for Southampton yesterday to close down and defend deep.
And I'm not sure how you guys feel - I got frustrated and felt let down by the result and I actually missed that feeling. Its been some time, as the football has been so bad in the last few years and even winning didnt really affect my mood. Knowing that Mourinho would find a way to ruin any positive momentum.
We have a working system and a manager, who reacts to possible events (subbing Reguilon for Doherty) and pushes the current squad. Said that, I still think top 4 is a stretch - more quality is needed.

Oh no, you reported me I'm going to cryReported too
Funny thing is I've never been binned, and you have. So you must be a little bit of a cunt at least.
Perhaps
Ignore him. He disagrees with everyone. He must be the forum oddball
Not sure I understand your point. I'm fairly certain I would take this stance were Maradona, Pele, and Messi playing for us.
