Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. Sat Oct 14th 5.30

this was literally pickford v kane situation

It was a penalty

 

[Bally’s White Boots]

Dodgy penalty and a deflection for the goals. But we still don’t show the necessary quality in the middle and top of the field. Gray and McNeil can’t be relied on in terms of consistent performances and Gana is not yet his old self. It’s hard to see where goals are coming from right now too. There’s some way to go, but to be fair, we are making progress and should settle more as the season goes on

What was that, didn't turn up. Seen better from the northern lower league.

Spurs weren’t great by any means, and we had 2 clear chances from 2 long hopeful balls over the top. If you ask any spurs fan (yid4life for example) he will tell you that in the majority of their matches this season, spurs have been pinned back in their own half for large chunks of their games, even against the so-called smaller teams. We couldn’t sustain any significant pressure even after going one goal down.

That is a very worrying sign.

Spurs have amassed the most amount of points at this time of the season than they ever have (or something daft). Lost 1 league game. Whatever they're doing, they're doing okay doing it.

Think it's a little bit premature to be worried about what we didnt do against them IMO. We've won 1 game away to them in decades, barely scoring in all of them.

We weren't clinical. We didn't embarrass ourselves. Made it difficult for them.

It was a penalty

He's clearly already on the way down

Its a big 6 penalty

We had a similar incident overturned last season against spurs involving Richarlison

It was a penalty

like a feather making contact with a rhino

imagine if the rhino fell over

2 games in a row we have given too much respect to so called ‘big’ clubs, but both Spurs and Utd were beatable if we only played well and with some confidence. Frank still has a long way to go changing the mindset at Everton.

Horrible performance, expected defeat as the owner calls it , the Bobble releasing team news 8 mins before our club does, I’m curious can someone get our win ratio when this has occurred .

Both clubs get it earlier than that though. You do know that? I'm pretty sure its 75 mins before kick off

Pickford lost the plot when he spilt the ball, it was a pen, the second goal was bad defending but the goal itself was taken very well. No complaints apart from our inability to shoot on target…..

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

They're saying on sky our game plan worked and giving us praise...haha ... jesus wept.... if that's us playing well we're goosed ...anytime we play anyone half decent we just sit back and wait for them to score ... no belief , no cajones ... and even last week we scored 1st and absolutely caked ourselves .
I think this unbeaten run everyone kept going on about was a bit of over kill ... we only barely beat West ham and Southampton, and look how bad they've been this season .... we won't be far off 17th again this season , we're rubbish!!

Top 10

Anyone saying it wasn’t a pen, WTF?

Ridiculous fumble to allow Kane to get the ball and took him out with his heed.

Who's your supplier they're neat drugs man.

Even if he was “already on the way down”, it’s irrelevant as Pickford dived into his leg head first.

I really wonder what game some of you watch.

It was a penalty

…clear pen for me, no idea what the issue is.

Pickford should hold back, Kane was going nowhere.

I expected it to be given

I just have also seen similar incidents not given.

My opinion has long been that soft penalties ruin football. The punishment is nowhere near proportionate to the incident.
