Shit I just realized that I need to change the title of this thread now.

Game day!!

Here is what blows my mind - THEY DID CALL A FOUL!!! There is the ref signalling advantage on the push on Moura. So clearly he saw that as a foul. Then would have come the handball, then the

He was being SUPER JAN!

 

BTW - this is the result Spurs absolutely needed. They really could use 2 or 3 MORE goals and get positive on GD. So long as Bayern doesn't lose (they are up 2-1), this is going to be a good day for Spurs. A Bayern-Olympiacos draw would really help Spurs.

Right now (live):
Bayern 9
Spurs 4
Red Star 3
Olympiacos 1

So, I'm just now working my way back into this thread.

 

Is there literally ZERO blame being placed on Levy, other than "he sucks because he is holding on to Poch"?

Levy has mismanaged this organization terrible the last few seasons.  We are now reaping what he has sown...a bunch of players on their way out, etc.  Having 4 of your best players in their last year of their contracts with no extension and not selling them earlier = bush league shit.  It's hard to say "player X is trash" when their future is constantly in limbo.

 

That said, 3-0 us.  Maybe we are back.

Sure, but he also deserves a ton of credit for taking Spurs from a perennial mid table club to a perennial top 6 club.

as pointed out in the first video @Captain Ron posted, spurs have been lacking a true holding central mid since dembele started declining in 2017. wanyama was supposed to be that guy but was always hurt. sissoko was supposed to be that guy but gets trigger happy. winks was supposed to be that guy but isn't athletic enough (and is always hurt). maybe n'dombele will be that guy eventually, but until then spurs will continue to expose their central defenders and struggle with play through the middle in the current preferred tactical formation.

Jan and Toby have definitely lost a step as well.

Aurier should have been subbed for Ndombele.

My biggest issue is Pochettino’s usage of Eriksen and Lucas. He’ll play Eriksen against teams we will counterattack but not against teams that are going to park the bus. He does the opposite with Lucas. It’s maddening.

Lol. THat was trash call 

those who know me know i dislike Spurs and Liverpool pretty equally, but that was such a BS call.

That is the second time in three PL matches that Mane has dived and gotten the PK foul.. saving 4 points.

Aurier basically pulls his right leg back to kick the ball away and Mane inserts himself from behind between the ball and Aurier's leg. Aurier knew nothing of it. Certainly no intent there, he wasn't even looking at Mane. And Mane certainly wasn't trying to win the ball at that point.

You just described a foul. You essentially are saying that because Aurier is too slow he shouldn’t be penalized. You kick someone in the leg, it’s a foul. It was a could when Virgil did it to Lamela two years ago and it’s a foul now.

that's funny, because you called the VVD/Lamela penalty "a fucking joke" at the time on Shaggy.
