My thoughts on the controversies:
-
The Curtis Jones red card was justified and valid. Was unintentional, but was high and dangerous. No debate there to be had. Straight red.
-
Jota's sending off was valid obviously.
-
Diaz offside. Ok. I thought VAR was supposed to fix this stuff?
Fair play to Liverpool: incredible defending and resilience.
But this Spurs side are pure anti-Spursy. Mind-blowing. They never stop.
You're viewing a single thread.
@hallenbeck @spurs @coys The they never stop narrative is over blown in this instance. Ultimately a lucky break with the own goal got the win against nine men.
Not sure if it was the Reds being so good, but I honestly expected a far more convincing performance from Spurs yesterday.
Liverpool are indeed very good - title contenders - and Klopp had a plan (I need to look at the game more closely) - so there's alway an expectation (dread 😅) this Spurs team still in its infancy will struggle. Ange keeps saying bumps and wobbles will come.
I think the red card ruined the game. No way to judge where either team truly is. The number of fouls and cards were indicative of the unrelenting pressure we develop against teams, which leads to mistakes.
