Why do you ask? Because he sometimes moves pretty slowly when getting into the box? It annoys me too but often all he is doing is trying to position himself for a cutback or a clearance that goes into his path.
I don’t mind him trying to arrive late as long as someone is making the obvious run to the six yard box. Problem was no one was do it m as Mrs it d s I easy to defend

Fantastic to see a genuine high quality Sissoko goal. Personally I don’t think incidents like the Cook handball should be a pen, but given the way handball has been reffed in the last 12 months I don’t see how it wasn’t given. The lack of consistency is maddening (and has gone against spurs pretty much every time)

Didn’t go today , thought we played great, loads of movement up front, we seemed to let them come on to us deliberately so we could break 4 v 4 often. Defence was decent apart from an occasional lapse. Excellent performance all in all. Dier was good as well, only going to get better.
Your post, clearly shows that you didn't attend. May I ask whether you were shut in a dark room between 3-5pm today, as your post suggested this could have been the case

Jose doesn’t want them to play possession stuff, he wants to get it forward quickly to Kane-Son-Dele, and I think that’s the right tactic for where we are at the moment. But when you’re two up, you need to revert to possession football and keep your shape. We haven’t been able to do that at all.

I like Sissoko, and he was good today generally, and I was glad for him getting the goal... but B’mouth and W Ham injury time goals were his fault and B’mouth chance for equaliser.

Yup. I didn't think it was a handball but I was screaming at my TV as they've already given plenty of pens for less this season.

At least they seem to have collectively raised the bar on what constitutes a handball in recent weeks (though that initial inconsistency leaves a bitter taste).

Personally I dont think those type of handballs should be given, Sanchez goal should have stood and no penalty either. If it's handball against the attacking team who scores then it should be handball against the defensive team though. It's the inconsistency of ruling the Sanchez goal out and denying a penalty for us for the same scenario that is frustrating.

Great going forward and scary at the back, Jose needs to strengthen our defence, maybe come January Window a couple of new faces.
COYS!!!!

Not seen all the game but can someone answer the following.


Was it a handball to rule out Sanchez's goal?
How was the pull back on son not looked at and a penalty given?
Was the handball shout for a penalty for us genuine?

To me it seems like the officials didn't have a good game and we should have been out of sight!

Also if the stamp on Alli was on purpose then that should have been a red?
