Shit opposition but feck we are playing well, GLC could really be the magician we need going forward.
Either of them really. Yes, it's consistent in this game, but both were ridiculous.That is ridiculous. How could they look at that and think it was a penalty?
Because the rule of law says its a pen, if the ref goes against it VAR will over rule it.That is ridiculous. How could they look at that and think it was a penalty?
It doesn't actually - there's allowances for "unnatural position" and "silhouette" of which both were completely not contravening.Because the rule of law says its a pen, if the ref goes against it VAR will over rule it.
This is our 7th game in 17 days I think:Jesus, didn't they just play 2 days ago?? How can this even be allowed?
What I mean is VAR definitely does undermine the ref.It doesn't actually - there's allowances for "unnatural position" and "silhouette" of which both were completely not contravening.
Have to say I am hopeful the more I see.Kane certainly not having a slow start this season.
Eh?Im happy Spurs are getting some false confidence they re suddenly great.

He is back to his best. Possibly even better.Have to say I am hopeful the more I see.
who has?They've been foaming at the mouth lately
He is getting much more rounded for sure.He is back to his best. Possibly even better.
There’s no VAR at this stage in the competition though.Because the rule of law says its a pen, if the ref goes against it VAR will over rule it.
I don't think that's what's happening. They're still super-dependent on elite forwards like Kane and Son doing amazing things to outscore opponents, because they can't rely on their far more pedestrian midfield and defence to do anything else. The fact that Haifa have carved them open time and again for goals and chances is a testament to how little they can rely on a strategy of not conceding.Im happy Spurs are getting some false confidence they re suddenly great.
Fair enough, but it must be hard for any ref to switch between a VAR game and not a VAR game.There’s no VAR at this stage in the competition though.
Won’t be any in the group stage either.
One minute Jose is a defensive shit house of a manager, the next he scores 7 and Spurs fans are concerned of our defence? Most Spurs fans I know, in person and online are not concerned in the slightest about our defence.I don't think that's what's happening.

The fact that Haifa have carved them open time and again for goals and chances is a testament to how little they can rely on a strategy of not conceding.
And, as best I can tell, a lot of Spurs fans begrudgingly accept this diagnosis. A lot of the talk on Spurs forums is about how worrying their defence is against poverty teams.
They've got a big enough squad as reflected in the results. One thing you can't say about Spurs squad is it lacks depth.Jesus, didn't they just play 2 days ago?? How can this even be allowed?
Well one of Leipzig (comfortably beat Spurs last season), Man. United or PSG going to drop in for a start.Unless some giant by some chances dropping into EL at later stage, Tottenham is no.1 favorite to win EL
They will have Bale and new Carlos Vinícius to rotate with Kane. Bale being the goal scorer with Vinícius being the support.They've got a big enough squad as reflected in the results. One thing you can't say about Spurs squad is it lacks depth.
Does seem a bit risky playing Kane every 48 hours though with his history of hamstring injuries. Maybe not know but in a few months. Think Mourinho pleading for England to rest him will fall on death ears.
To get match fit? He was hardly knocking his pan in.Why would he leave Kane on when he has a game on Sunday?
Think he’s banned against us?Why would he leave Kane on when he has a game on Sunday?
You wish!Think he’s banned against us?
Surely to God youre match fit now? Youve played 25 games this monthTo get match fit? He was hardly knocking his pan in.
Last season was last season. Leipzig lost Werner. As seeing in later stage of CL, it's a huge change.Well one of Leipzig (comfortably beat Spurs last season), Man. United or PSG going to drop in for a start.
Spurs probably in top 5 contenders but they obviously need to keep Son and Kane fit for the knockout stages.
Why would he be banned?Think he’s banned against us?
We'll have to see what stage Bale is in. Sure he'll have some good games but hard to be him being the force of old although he probably won't have to be as Spurs certainly didn't have the quality of Kane and Son last time he was at the club upfront.They will have Bale and new Carlos Vinícius to rotate with Kane. Bale being the goal scorer with Vinícius being the support.
I reckon he thinks Kane got sent off the other day.Why would he be banned?
Where did you get 25 games from?Surely to God youre match fit now? Youve played 25 games this month
It was an exaggeration for comedic effectWhere did you get 25 games from?
