Gooner friend says they were the better team because they had more possession. I mean....

I've not read a single post in here but I watched the derby this afternoon, the commentary trio were renting space in Mourinho and Kane's respective arses but I'd rather shit in my hand and call it chocolate than watch my team play like his Spurs team, don't care if he wins them the PL. I wouldn't trade it for Ole as I couldn't go back to watching that shit with the uber coward approach to every big game, it's soul destroying football, Burnley with 2 world class forwards.

1-6

Just wandered over to the Liverpool subreddit. Strange lot they are. Don’t think they ever stop whinging

Kane winning a free kick at the edge of our box. Arsenal player jumps for the ball Kane doesn't and just stands his ground so the Arsenal player goes flying.
Kane getting abuse for this on Twitter, he'll likely have to do another interview on Sky to explain himself.

Yes but that was before Jose put his foot down and stopped us playing attacking football. He went nuts after the three goals conceded against West Ham, through out several passes/more creative players and settled on an all out defensive strategy. We are Burnley with two world class strikers ... but we have two world class strikers! Why pretend we are not? Last six league games we have scored 8 goals - two against good teams, one against a mid-table team and three against bottom feeders - hardly expansive footbal. It’s pragmatic, no risks, park the bus and shut up shop tactics used by JM at ManU (he won stuff) and Chelsea (he won stuff there too). So fair enough that is what we have but any attempt to pretend we are playing enterprising football is madness. I understand for many winning at all costs is enough ... I happen to think we are better than that and showed it earlier in the season but one blip and it’s back to the old blueprint.

It is a long season. We will 100% not play like this in every game. We’ve done it in 3 out of 11 so far. There’s 7 more games this month for a start and we will have to rotate in those meaning we will have to change it up.

What was it like watching that second half in the ground? I’m usually more relaxed when at the match, not to say I wasn’t today because I didn’t think they were good enough to score, but it was a hard watch.

We went through years creaming over the stats and never won a thing. Tonnes of shots and 70% possession against teams and we'd end up losing 1-0 at home

I'd take those two goals today and 30% possession if it means we're gonna win things.

Lets be honest we all know what he is doing - lets not sugarcoat it. I have a slight problem in that it is quite dangerous and if someone else was doing it we would also be berating them

He is trying to win free kicks, not hurt people

He still knows what he is doing. You can do a lot of things without the intention of hurting someone but you still know they may get hurt in that situation.

Today that was dangerous and i think he kind of ran towards the Arse player then fell... it was dangerous... perhaps against Lalana i can see both sides but not todays one.

The funniest part of that is how Robbie just sits quietly and then says, “We’re going to be in 15th”.

My personal favourite was just after Kane’s goal and HT was called, Ty, very quietly, started clapping for about a minute.
