For me personally, I don’t think there’s an issue with commentary bias, I just think when Gary Neville gets something in his head he just can’t stop talking about it for the next half hour. And Tyler just follows and tries to stick a joke in somewhere so he can impress Neville. And it becomes tedious. Worst was the 1-6 drubbing of Utd. By all means talk about how great Liverpool’s fullbacks are but don’t ejaculate every time they cross a ball. Tyler made out that half volley from TAA was like Bale’s CL final overhead kick. It was a very good effort but he almost got to Aguerooo heights of commentary before he realised it wasn’t a goal. In fact Hugo’s save was possibly more impressive.
Neville’s not alone in doing what he does though. One of my favourite co-commentators is Ally McCoist but he also struggles to let things go once he has something in his head.
It’s all about meh commentary rather than bias.

Now the dust has settled I will try to be objective. On another day we take our excellent chances and we win the game, but equally on another day, Kane gets sent off which should have happened and we're down to 10 so early in the game and they get awarded the penalty in the second which we'd have been p*ssed off at not getting and they win the game comfortably.
Positives to take from the game, an excellent all round committed performance against a top side who always looked dangerous despite having a much changed midfield and no VVD in defence. Good shout out to some of the players who have two often gone AWOL when the going had got tough. Yes we coughed up the ball too much and invited more pressure but there are definite signs of improvement under Conte. If that was under the previous regime, we buckle under pressure and lose by 2-3 goals.

Neville also praised the delivery from Arnold for Robertson's goal. I'm pretty sure Arnold was going for goal. No way he was aiming at Roberson's head.
And yeah, the aguerooooo is Tyler's legacy and he's been trying to repeat it ever since like a tired 80's pop band still touring 35 years later.
I went to the game yesterday, the first game since versus Leeds for me. At the Leeds game we were reflecting that we had gone two and half games since the last shot on target before we eventually ran out 2-1 winners. Yesterday we created so many more chances, we were a lot bolder and confident and we got the ball forward faster. Chalk and cheese performances in a lot of ways.
We're shaking off the Mourinho and Nuno chains of football past and we're suddenly almost playing at the level we were about five years ago under Pochettino. No doubt to me that appointing Conte is the best thing we've done for years and we actually have a football team again. The next six months are going to be so bloody interesting.
On the game itself yesterday it is so strange about perceptions. Where we sit we were all livid about Paul Tierney and were convinced how anti-Spurs he was. It turns out he is just an awful referee and was as shit to us as he was to Liverpool. It's a funny old game.

As much as Kanes was reckless and should have been Red he went for the ball but was late and a bit reckless. Robertsons was assault he just kicked the f out of emerson out of spite and frustration yet he's made out to be hard done by and Kane the villain as usual.

Think this match is testament to what alot of us as been saying - our squad is not as bad as many on here have been saying. With good coaching, fitness and belief many of these players can perform at a good level. We've seen it with Dier and Davies, and now Sessegnon, Winks and Dele have all put in good performances. No doubt the squad with be strengthened in either January or in the summer but it really isn't a critical situation.

I agree that this squad is good enough to compete for a top four finish with a world-class manager at the helm. Need a couple of spot on signings to challenge for more than that though.

Read a report on news now that VAR thought Kane's tackle lacked sufficient speed and intensity, oo er missus ?? to be deemed a red

Readings lots and seeing most on here being rational about the performance is good. We mustn’t get carried away although we can be optimistic Another day another result - we did get lucky but so did they.
Fair result- Conti is the real deal .

Kane was lucky to stay on, and probably only stayed on as it was inside the first 20mins. Not sure why refs seem to let things go more when it's early in the game.

Conte is an excellent coach no doubt - if he can make Doherty into a half decent option as right wing back he will qualify as the GOAT of coaches!

Tbf in real time the tackle isnt that intense or quick. Kane is kinda sliding at an an angle, as if hes trying to trap the ball. The slow motion obviously doesnt take into account speed and it looks much worse because of that. I think it was a sending off but I also thought that's the reason they didn't VAR it.

In fairness to TAA he could develop to that level. I mean neither cafu or Roberto Carlos posted anything like TAAs numbers, though full backs were a bit different then. TAA has weaknesses too, but he is a phenomenal player and still so young.
