EPL 18/19

Great finish now I've actually seen it. Spurs really lucky Aguero was a step offside from a deflection and not really sure why Llorente's goal was allowed - if you go for the ball and first contact is with the elbow then surely it is handball? Anyway quite a game - any game that is 3-2 after 20 minutes ..... Ajax v Spurs is not only an unlikely semi but could be similarly full on given how both teams play.
The TMO has taken some of the joy out of cricket when a wicket isn't always a wicket. VAR will have an even worse effect on football given the rarity of a goal and the joy or despair of it happening. I'd abolish it for that reason alone. Accept the mistakes and the ref's word is final.

As a neutral VAR added massively to the excitement for me. As a supporter (in other games) its really frustrating because the explanation is normally terrible.

Sounds like it was a tight away game and Citeh still butt hurt about midweek

Tight, but both teams really wasteful in front of goal and sloppy in general play. Perhaps to be expected given the emotion of Wednesday's match, but Spurs had some great chances that they really should have taken - fatigued or not.
I feel a little more positive about Yanited's prospects of nicking points midweek on the basis of Citeh's performance yesterday. However, key will be to prevent Citeh getting their routine early goal. (On a related point, it baffles me that teams have not identified that preventing Citeh's fast starts might be a key aspect of beating or drawing with them.)

@mariner4life Sometimes that's as good as it gets. Both Arse and Chelsea had infinitely more winnable games than us. Our squad is paper thin at the moment and we need all the help we can get

Good for nothing Man U pricks

Pressure obviously getting to Liverpool...

Fulham's form since relegation has been excellent - much better than positions 3-6 ....
