I actually forgot about Reids kick on Dele as well. Same as Bellerin on Hazard last night
Reids kick, Zabaleta dragging Kane down (called offside, but it was actually onside) and Adrians assault on Alli. Nothing said about the handball call in injury time.

Living in Essex believe me that's the last game you want to lose! Nice one my Son!

Mike Dean was awful tonight and to hear he reffed our league cup match and also the match against the Goons well what can I say other than let's hope we don't see him again anytime soon. As for Sissoko...35 million really lol just one of those nights we failed to spark and have to say I thought their defence was immense. It's long season but just seems it's a battle for 5th at mo prove us wrong COYS!!!

It’s tough to break down 11 men sitting deep like that. But we do seem to have an issue opening up such sides. West Ham, Swansea, West Brom and Burnley. Eight points dropped against defensive sides at home.

We were unlucky, but for the first time in a long time, I believe some of the fault lies with Poch tonight. We needed to change things up at half time, let alone after West Ham scored. Regarding subs, Poch tends to be more reactionary than proactive. Tonight’s game was a case in point. And when we made subs, they were poor. Wanyama for Dier was pointless, and considering the amount of crosses we put in tonight, Llorente should have been on much earlier.

And Sissoko, just wow. He offers nothing (his lack of awareness and composure is astonishing).

Positives: Vertonghen his usual class and Aurier was great.

How frustrating is it watching the ball go side to side to side to side, fucking slow and shambolic tonight, don't want to bang on but sissoko can't be in any Spurs team as he's a jack of no trades and dier too is becoming a very limited player. I don't know what winks had done to be fucked off either?? Wanyama and winks next game for me centre mids!

I will be ashame as spammers fan TBH.. They can attack with intent, but they chose to sit back for 85 minutes of the match.. If Moyes is any good, he should set up his team to play. They could have won it, especially seeing Sissoko was playing, we were so defensive minded and Poch is so passive.

All in all, everything about that club from top down to fans are dumb.
Totally disagree fella, you have to look at what Moyes has done since he came in and it pains me to say it but they’ve actually started picking up results which is what he was employed to do.

We shouldn't be relying on refs dodgy decisions or whatever to win us matches. We really should be making sure of results ourselves. Refs will always make mistakes every single match every single season and not just against us. It evens itself out eventually. Had we been 3 nil up and cruising then there wouldn't be such an outcry against the ref. Incidentally the ref who's actually helped us on the past.

You can’t blame spammers for the tactics. But you don’t think City come up against this most weeks? The difference is they have the class of players to break these teams down and we obviously do not. And clubs have figured this out and keep playing this game against us and coming away with a draw. I’ve been saying all season walker was a loss that was not replaced and we just don’t have the pace we need. On top of that we don’t have enough Players who can pass the ball really quickly and have that soft touch and balance you need to play around weaker teams. Having said that. Poch also is at fault as we would have had a better chance with at least one of Winks, Wanyama or Lamela on from the start. Watching Sissoko and Dier play sideways is frustrating. Song tried but was doubled up on and had to go back all the time. Harry had 4 players around him all the time and Eriksen just was not quick enough. Terrible game to watch but we have seen 6/7 games like this already.

Winksy hasn’t been fit, still not 100% but I’d have played him tonight alongside Vic or the Viking

Main difference being City play with Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva. We played with Dier and Sissoko. That's the difference.

10 points out of 12 over Christmas and you cobble this together? Such a tantrum.
You can tell he's just been gagging for a loss so he can get this sort of tripe off his chest, nearly had it tonight but a draw will have to do.

Sissoko is a useful player I think but not in these games when you're up against a brick wall. You need endeavour and guile. Sissoko has neither.

It worries me that Poch does not see his mistakes and correct things before we go behind... Was obvious he should have been taken off at half time

And this is why they’ll never bring VAR in the Premiership, you take away the element of corruption away from the bent **** referees
