Mate. It's a bizarre penalty. In tightly packed defensive areas, I'd be telling my forwards to aim for defenders arms deliberately. Madness.That penalty was bullshit and if this the way forward then people making the rules needs to get their heads checked.
It was bullshit as it was never a penalty if the new laws were followed. Referee fucked up hereThat penalty was bullshit and if this the way forward then people making the rules needs to get their heads checked.
Winks looks like he’s struggling with Hojbjerg for this imagined spot of a sitting midfielder who doesn’t have to press or make forward runs. It’s so bizarre and doesn’t work at all - they can play together if one is pressing and putting pressure on striker turning and the other covers, but both seemed to want to cover.
Doherty still looks like a fish out of water in the back 4, I don’t mean to dampen positivity but that is a puzzling looking signing. He’s so slow of feet and compared to Serge’s defensive instincts I’m not so sure he’s much of an improvement.
Dier and Dav play like they’re still 21, so many rookie errors and poor touches at the back. Still though, I really think persisting with them is going to pay results as you can see signs of an imperious partnership when there’s adequate midfield cover.
Aside from that , I was very pleased with individual performances. Kane played 5-6 unbelievable passes today, like prime Eriksen level balls, and Son was insane with his clinical finishing. We can beat teams on the break alone with Bale in for Lucas. I maintain GLC is our best midfielder by miles, though TN may have saved the match with that turn and pass to Kane for Son’s goal. Lamela was actually an exceptional sub as well, and I really have to give it to José in fixing it at halftime.

Bergwijn /
KWP - MOM
without him, it would have be worse for Southampton
He is 27.oh my God
Harry Kane , he did what Son and Ali was supposed to do..he has become the best midfilder and striker..
but to take on the bergkamp role at such a young age must be frustrating
Just FYI, the scale goes to 10
