We look awful today. A mix of poor tactical shape and packed schedule catching up with us.

It's one of those ones where VAR can't get involved too right? Which further shows how stupid that rule is.

Blatant shirt pulling by Spurs player not even considered by ref or VAR. Probably because the Everton player wasn't falling down or flailing around, he continued to attack towards flight of the ball.

If that's true it's a shambles of rules. If a yellow results in a sending off it should be reviewable to ensure proper call.
If you look at a still at the point of contact, their player stamped on Boly’s foot before falling over. What is the point of VAR?

Man City 5th as the table stands. What odds would you have got for them to be in that position on Christmas Day?

Does the 4th official get paid extra having to deal with those children screaming in their ear for 90 minutes?

So just Sheffield Utd and Burnley as the clubs we have scored more league goals than this season. Burnley with 30 minutes to draw level with us

If Newcastle didn't crash and burn, PSG would be in Europa League, infuriating to think about.

So now the only team in the league we've outscored is Sheffield United. That is an absolutely wild stat.

One of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen - won the ball, foot on the floor and their player tripped over his leg - Boly gets a 2nd yellow. BS reffing
I'll agree, that's an absolute shocker. Yet VAR can do nothing.

If KDB back, they've got games in hand and still favourites. Weren't Arsenal similarly ahead last Christmas?

Santos the tactical genius - takes one of two CDM’s off to stick a winger on - immediately lose midfield and ship two goals. Pretty sure we will get relegated now
