I saw chunks of WH Spuds yesterday, from the red card on. That seemed to kill the game, that and the fact Spurs scored instantly. Mind you WH's marking for the second left a lot to be desired for the third was none existent. VDV was stood in the box unmarked pointing to where he wanted it for about ten seconds before he scored. No one felt the need to mark him or point out that he was free.
You have to fear for Potter's job cos those are very very basic things. One slip up can be excused but it's becoming a recurring theme.
Nice to see Garnacho fall asleep at the back post and cost Chlesea 2 points last night.

We are soooo spineless at the mo. Something goes wrong and it's game over. Felt sorry for big Tomas- such an honest pro, just got it wrong and had to go. Refreshing to see his reaction, rather than being in the ref's face, pretending he hasn't done anything wrong. Some of Potter's decisions are baffling. Fernandes subbed off way before JWP?! JWP shouldn't even be starting. Magassa looked good when he came on and needs to play with Fernandes and Paqueta in a 3.
I get the decision, technically, but surely, on that basis, every Arsenal corner goal should be disallowed? I would've been annoyed if we had that disallowed.
Aye, nonsense call that.
Slightly fortunate win for Pool. Fortunate in that the penalty came in stoppage time, but if you look at the match stats no way did Burnley deserve anything from that game.
Their XG at half time was 0.00. They were at home. They had 3 shots in the whole game, none on target (Pool had 27). Stephen Hawking, in his coffin, could have done nets for Pool and they still would have won. Burnley attempted 160 passes and completed just over half of them, that's less than 1 completed pass to a team mate every minute. Pool completed over 600. Burnley had 20% possession and played 5-4-1 with their "striker" sitting midway between the centre circle and the semi circle at the edge of the box. To my mind that's the kind of position a DCM takes up, not a striker.
They sat in and just hoofed the ball away for 90 minutes. Fair ****s that does take discipline and it is to be admired, BUT at home in your fourth game of the season? **** me, at least TRY and attack just once?
I don't wanna say, I want them to go down, and I know had they gone toe to toe with Pool they would probably have lost, but if that is how they plan to try and stay up, the PL will be better off without them.

Saw the highlights and looked like Liverpool were completely dominant. Really gutting for Burnley, though, to hold on so long and then give away a stupid pen, right at the death.

Indeed. In the famous game back in 1999 when they won in the last seconds he was celebrating and dancing in the street for over 20 minutes lol
