Janssen for Wimmer will be the change. But will have the balls to do it at HT or after we are 2 down?

BT commentators doing their best to try not to call it offside. "It looks like it was", as a slow motion replay clearly shows that at least two players are blatantly offside.
my side of the game commentary was so bias too.. we had over 60% of possession at one point and was controlling the game rather well, yet they could say the scums have been on top.. when they hit the woodwork, they got all the compliments on how great it was and it could be... we hit almost half a dozen FFS...

No point making wimmer a scapegoat. her is a good player, but obviously rusty.

Whats costing us is that our attacking play is so blunt and predictable. we havent looked like scoring from open play inn quite some time :(

Tempted to throw Winks and N'kodou in there now just to mix it up.

Kane almost had two today from open play but I do agree we are very predictable

Don't deserve to be losing. Controlled the vast majority of that half, bur our lack of punch continues to hurt us in the final third.

Koscielny was offside anyway. How Webb can think he wasn't is a joke. The law states that if any part of the body that can be used to legitimacy score a goal is beyond the last defender then its offside. His head is clearly beyond Dier..offside.

Big 2nd half incoming, but still have little confidence, even if we miraculously scored our first goal from open play in over 600 minutes, look at their bench! this was always going to be a loss, just annoys me that their fans will be everywhere about taking our unbeaten run etc etc....

The other issue for me is Kane, he comes back, how do we stop him being called out as you know Fergie of old would never have let that happen but spurs will likely let him go to England and knowing our luck this year get another injury.

Come on Spurs, big 2nd half - can we get a lucky 90th min equaliser, its about time our luck changed this year!

Ian Wright and Ferdinand I have always respected a lot (in terms of punditry) even though I never liked them as players I always felt like they were unbiased in regards to how they commentated on decisions as pundits, fair play to them for shitting over Webb.

I sympathise with Wimmer there. He had to get something on it. Just unlucky. And apparently it wasn't offside although that seems a crazy law to me.
It hasn't been anywhere near as bad as I feared. We need to pick up our attacking play. We can still get something out of this. COYS!

I just cannot believe how poor we have been since the City game. We are miles away from the big boys, we have been crying out fro a top top striker and a Modric style play maker. We get a panic buy from Levy who would of been crucified if he didnt buy anyone on the last day of the window. Moussa fucking Sissoko shocking!!!!

We'll we've got no money now thats for sure! we usually come out of windows with negative or 0 NET spend, we uncharacteristically blew big money on Sissoko so this is it!

Hope it all clicks as the season goes on, it's still early days to be fair

Howard Webb: "Sanchez wasn't offside because he made no action toward the ball, so the decision was correct."

Both Ian Wright and Ferdinand telling Webb he's wrong, because - as fucking common sense would also suggest - if a player is there in the box running to head the ball, and the defender is competing with him, he's bloody obviously interfering with play.

It's ludicrous. If Webb's correct, what is the defender supposed to do?

It's a stupid rule. Wimmer wouldn't have touched the ball if those players weren't offside.
Totally agree awful ruling!! But we have been absolutely shocking, how on earth can Poch put Wimmer in for his first start in a NLD. His team selections and subs(lack of them) have not been good lately in fact awful.

He's tried to pass it to two players who are offside and actively trying to get onto the end of the cross. I don't know what offside is if that isn't an example of it.
