once the law is made, its not VAR’s fault or the refs fault. it has to be enforced.

as much as we shout at the ref, once he’s seen the replay he has to give the pen as the rules are very clear. if he didn’t, he’d be in trouble.

Yeah that's my point...

He basically passed the ball to one of our players then ran in a straight line into Hojbjerg. What's Hojbjerg meant to do - dive out of the way? Absolute fucking joke?

Yeah, exactly. He gave it away and then literally lunged/leaped to make contact with PEH.

Is Son alright? Berg on for Son again did nothing for us going forward, I hope José was just looking to rest Son before the big week ahead.

Ndombele on brought some life back to the attack, happy to see him making a difference.

Don’t understand how they weren’t offside there, truly, making the whole thing moot.

I hate replay review and think it has ruined all sports it has entered (American football more than all the rest) but replay review carried Spurs past City in the CL quarterfinal so it’s a bit rich banging on about it now...

I'm sorry but us not being clinical has nothing to do with a joke of a decision from a joke of a rule.
But you know that's the rule, especially after everything that happened in the Brighton game. I hate it as much as anyone but we've left it open to happening because we didn't kill the game earlier.

At least Mourinho has his excuse, which is about all he has left in his arsenal. Week after week after week after week it's obvious we are going nowhere fast. How long until abort?

WTF are you on about, we created numerous chances and look a much better outfit, there's clear signs of progression, stop talking nonsense.

If you have that much possession, that many chances and don’t take them, especially in the first half, then you leave yourself open to heartbreaking scenarios like the stupid decision at the end that loses you the points.

kane was best player in first half but I second half he missed 3 good chances with scuffed shots

Soon everyone will try chip the ball into defenders hands and that's what they will work on in training.
Football in the PL will evolve into that kind of style if nothing changes very spon.

Why try play well when you can just get free penalties?

Killing the sport and honestly I loathe the way it's going.

What the fuck did our incidents not taken a look by VAR but theirs would. The refs are so fucking dims and bunch of cowards. Is it really we didn't argue and hence not given a look.

Implement some conssitencies for fucking sake. Atrocious of a standard.

The refs don't dictate what is looked at by VAR so what good does appealing have?

It is then VAR that advise the ref to look at the screen, not players appealing to him

Completely right. 1 point at home to Everton and Newcastle is shit. They were there for the taking and it was so fucking obvious something like this would happen. You need to put a game like this to bed, it’s as simple as that. I’m fuming.
I'm fuming too and we did miss chances. But Newcastle weren't getting within 20 yards of our goal and have been handed a result by this farcical ruling/reffing.

On another day we'd have scored 3 or 4

We should literally be reinstated the 3 points and those laws changed for good.

That could be the difference between top 4 and not.

Defenders need to have their arms amputated. Fuck you, IFAB, PL, PGMOL, VAR. Every single one of you in these orgs need to go to hell
