To be honest THFC looked like Tranmere United - long balls, horrible in possession - but we managed to get a point - that is not nothing...
Tanganga was a liability against Watford. CE did well setting up the disallowed goal. These are facts. The rest is just opinions...Why are you saying “we” managed to get a point. You are not a Spurs supporter. Since you started posting all you have ever done is kiss Eriksen’s arse and slag off Tanganga. You clearly don’t know anything about football

I thought we started great tbh-first 20/30 mins we were good, then it changed after missed chances and the refs bullshit with his radio.I had a blinding day.
Awful game of Football though.
A draw was a fair result IMHO.
Interesting conversation i was ear wigging coming out after.
2 Watford fans saying that in the first 10 minutes we looked we would destroy them, but they sorted their midfield out after.The interesting bit was that they couldn't understand us playing a long ball game with the players we have.
All the fans around me(i was in the a home stand) very appreciative of our anti VAR songs
EDIT
Or they might have been talking about us trying to walk it into the net.They mentioned both
Yeah first 20 mins or so looked really good , have you let the independent know your thoughts on Norwich yet?I thought we started great tbh-first 20/30 mins we were good, then it changed after missed chances and the refs bullshit with his radio.
We need to start finishing chances in games big time, we were 3 up in games like this a lot of the time before our current slump with more control in the middle and better finishing. We seem a very long way from achieving that atm though:-/

They still haven't paid me for last week ffs.Yeah first 20 mins or so looked really good , have you let the independent know your thoughts on Norwich yet?
Tanganga is a young raw talent playing his third senior game in a week and out of position. Please don't bother coming to matches.Tanganga was a liability against Watford. CE did well setting up the disallowed goal. These are facts. The rest is just opinions...
Totally agree that he needs team-mates to make him look good.I find him slow, decelerates the attack, he needs time to decide what to do with the ball, his flicks and mugs rarely productive. I don't know what happened to him, he was excellent when he arrived.
I think he shouldn't be a starter for now. Lucas, Son, LoCelso, Lamela and Gedson are ahead of him.
Excellent debate lads, and both make great points.Oliver had an OK game. End of.
Please try and explain away the image I posted of the penalty incident?
The Tanganga incident was a dangerous challenge and merited review. Was it a Red card? Maybe, it depends on which club you support.
The penalties we claimed were really not and it would have been harsh if awarded.
I don't recall Deeney constantly falling over, well, no more than usual. No more so than Dele or Son. "Spurs don't dive" - I'm afraid you're wrong there!
Ah, the last refuge of the lost argument - claim the person is the supporter of another club!
Of course, I've been outed as a Woolwich fan!
Now please go away.
Ours was 100% a penalty - behaveI suppose ours were penalties? (they weren't).
Tanganga has been a senior player for 2 years - he is still young - how talented he is debatable - this still does not change the fact that he was horrible against watford...Tanganga is a young raw talent playing his third senior game in a week and out of position. Please don't bother coming to matches.
Even big Troy Deeney was flopping around like an asphyxiating fish.Excellent debate lads, and both make great points.
I agree that on another day, that tackle would've been a straight red, and I don't understand why it wasn't reviewed.
However, I find it so frustrating to see how many free-kicks are "won" by players falling over, at the faintest of touches, initiating contact, or tripping themselves up.
You can predict when, and where on the pitch, players are going to fall over with a good deal of certainty, and match officials fall for it nearly every time.
Every team does it, and unfortunately it's now become an established tactic, which is used to break play up, or to gain an advantage.
Eriksen is garbage, you’re views aren’t popular anymore.Tanganga was a liability against Watford. CE did well setting up the disallowed goal. These are facts. The rest is just opinions...
I don't get the Tanganga overhype to be fair. Got destroyed by Firmino for their goal and Sarr tore him a new on Saturday. His best game was vs a bottom Championship side.Tanganga was a liability against Watford. CE did well setting up the disallowed goal. These are facts. The rest is just opinions...
He has made a lot of mistakes, yes.I don't get the Tanganga overhype to be fair. Got destroyed by Firmino for their goal and Sarr tore him a new on Saturday. His best game was vs a bottom Championship side.
Cautious optimism for me - but if you read the posts on here it sounds like we have the next Cafu
