Want us to win the FA cup but don't want Kane, Verts, Dembele or Eriksen anywhere near game on Weds. Keep them fresh for Arsenal. Got more than enough now players have returned to win that replay.


I would prefer to see JV, CE and HK start the game, we get a couple of early goals then drag them off.

Salah gets injured and they will be absolute dross.

Big impact from Wanyama today, needs to start games over Dier

He was making a run, wasn’t he?

He's not offside until he touches the ball or is directly involved in play. Same reason Hugo ended up clattering Salah (?) as the ref was waiting for him to touch the ball before blowing up. Lovren's swing at the ball means it's a new phase of play and his touch plays Kane onside.

Why wasn't karius booked or sent off for the first penalty?

They changed the rules so you can't get a straight red card and concede a penalty if you make a genuine attempt to play the ball. It's seen as a double punishment now.

Before I sign of I must once again drool over Victor's wonderful goal, that in its self was worthy of winning the game.

Wasn't everyone on here saying Martin Tyler was a Liverpool fan the other week? He seemed pretty impressed with Vic's goal and the late equaliser for a Scouser.

Got to give the ref and Lino credit today. Decisions that should be made but especially the second one took bollocks for the Lino to overrule the ref and give it.

I've been slating Linesman for years for being absolute rubbish - but this guy was both brave and correct. Still in shock tbh

I haven't celebrated a goal of ours as much for a long time! Just sheer unadulterated delight seeing that rocket in - my favourite type of goal!

Am as happy as anyone that we salvaged a point, it was deserved. However, let’s not kid ourselves, we were one brain fart from Van Dijk away from being ‘typical spurs’ and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

We were superior in 2nd half but poor decision making meant we relied on a worldie from Wanyama and a couple of penalties to get something. All that being said, if we beat Arsenal on Sunday then it would be a very good return on 3 tough games

TBH, I have no idea what's with the issue of posters here having a melt down and cursing Kane when he missed the pen. He could have won us the match but put it poorly. He's truly bad at that point.

If we didn't get the second pen and equalise, and went on to lose the game, there will be no witch-hunting for bottler-callers. In that case those legends-callers cannot be proven wrong; nobody knows the future outcome.

It can get so agenda-driven here for some it is actually quite ridiculous.

People take issue with the term ‘legends’. It was a poor penalty but to call Kane a bottler is ridiculous.

The other issue is that many of the comments demonstrate the emotional control and sense of entitlement of a 5 year old. We’re all emotionally invested but not all of our thoughts need to spill out onto the page. It’s not about being right or wrong, it’s about having a filter and some sense of rational thought.

Or might be that pur defence has taken some serious knocks this season.
Cant wait for Toby to come back and Sanchez will be better once hes back as will Trippier/Aurier.
No, he may concede more goals without Toby, fair enough. But that doesn’t excuse bad decision making and technical errors he’s been making this year.
