I liked Sarri at Napoli, and he had them playing some beautiful football, and maybe if Juve didn't have the title wrapped up before a ball is even kicked they'd have won the league. But to say Poch needs to win a trophy is so ******* stupid when you've won nothing in 29 years of management.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Should be a penalty.

 

[robfosters]

VAR used perfectly again.

 

[explicit4u]

No one watching? Decent game so far, spurs just awarded a VAR pen.

 

[Kelt]

VAR really is good and can only get better.

 

[Megahurtz400]

Does no one else think Kane is offside there? Or am I just being biased?

Is the rule still “any part of your body you can score with?”

I agree, was offside, stupid decision

 

[zophiel]

more or less

Offside is one of the laws of association football, codified in Law 11 of the Laws of the Game. The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

Shoulder can't be offside

 

[Megahurtz400]

His shoulder and half of his head was offside.

If get that it’s tight and if VAR wasn’t in use there’d be nothing to say, but isn’t the whole idea of VAR to make these fine margins easier to judge.

Shoulder can't be offside

Suppose it depends how they define the shoulder, is it part of your arm or body?

 

[Sui]

Guess they might have to change the rule to just the feet

 

[omnomnom]

It's as clear a penalty as you'll get. You cannot be offside with your shoulder...the fact that Joe Cole has to clarify that is hilarious.

 

[Janesy B]

Longest second half of football I've sat through, we were terrible but I don't know why Sarri isn't sticking Giroud out there. Not complaining though.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

Tight scoreline and will be a long game away from home not home. Fixture dates are madness, 2nd leg just before FA Cup weekend too.

 

[BaZ87]

Robbie Keane is quite possibly the worst pundit ever. His analysis of Kepa's attempt at saving the penalty literally made my head hurt.

Then when a player 'shoulders the ball' it should be handball then, ifs a shoulder is not offside then it must be part of the arm, therefore should be handball too.

I thought it was offside, i also thought that there were also some dubious decisions all the way through, spurs have been lucky.

Why chelsea played with no striker was stupid, the amount of times they broke and had no one to pass too.

Robbie Keane is quite possibly the worst pundit ever. His analysis of Kepa's attempt at saving the penalty literally made my head hurt.

Wasn't just the penalty, it was his belief that Kepa should've been sent off for his 'lunge' at Kane when Kepa was just spreading his body expecting the shot.

He’s one of those fast speaking Irish fellows who doesn’t have time to think before words fly out.

 

[BaZ87]

How he couldn't figure out that Kepa didn't dive because he was gambling on Kane going down the middle and then when it was pointed to him he randomly makes up that Kane's never put a penalty down the middle. He literally had one saved at Anfield last season going down the middle and it came out post game that Liverpool had spotted that he favours going down the middle in big games.
