Spurs are going to get mullered in this game
I think it could be quite close. Tottenham are great on the counter and Chelsea like to play in a similar way so I think it could be quite cagey.

You would've thought Southgate's monumental **** up in the Euros would've taught managers that bringing a player on cold to take a penalty without touching a ball is not a good idea.
Glad he missed.

Who would have thought not making any subs for 90+ minutes in the final of a major competition would seem a good idea but both Ole and Southgate did it.

Looking at this again there should be an investigation into why VAR didn't overturn this shocking decision. How long can they keep getting away with this? https://streamable.com/0uawgy

That's actually shocking but not at all surprising, said it before, the officiating in this country is a joke.

Looks like he kicked the ball out and played for a pen, pretty shady from Ronaldo.

What about the AWB one?
Caporegime
Soucek comes from behind him and runs into AWB, AWB is trying to clear the ball. There wasn't even a challenge by AWB.
Caporegime
If Soucek was getting anywhere near the ball you would have a point but he literally just interferes with AWBs attempt to cut out a pass. Which he would have done if Soucek did tangle up his legs.
We could easily have had 2 penalties in that game and the second one was pretty stone wall.
VARs biggest issue is still the **** standards of refereeing. The Walker one yesterday just boggles the mind.
The contact doesnt cause Ronaldo to go down the way he does. Unless theres another angle i cant see any contact until ronaldos going down.

We are weak defensively no doubt but back when Ole first took over we were fantastic. I think we had the third best defence in the league in his first half/first full season. That was when we were playing three at the back so he can obviously coach it. I am hoping when Scotty can get more time it will get better.
I also think our defensive frailty is due to our midfield and forward players. They are not big on tracking back are they. That will change when Rashford starts getting more game time.

Looks like he wipes him out to me, funny how different people can see different things.
Edit: You know what, im not so sure after seeing that angle from behind. Not seen that until just now.

You can't tackle like that in the box in much the same way you can't leave your arm out like Shaw did. Shaw can put his arm wherever he likes as long as it doesn't get hit and the defender can tackle Ronaldo like that that as long as he gets the ball. Shaws arm was hit and the defender didn't get the ball. Both should have been penalties. Only one was.
Caporegime
I am more impressed how a 36 year old can still run at defenders like that 90 minutes into the game!

Defensively we've been fine so far, we look much better from set pieces too. 50% of the goals we've conceded have been ridiculous deflections. Ayling's one was an absolute banger. The only avoidable goal we've conceded was the Newcastle one really.
That's a dive, that's why

This has been garbage so far.

Yep that’s a dive. Can see he stops trying to take a step and locks his ankles together leaning forwards to go down before the contact starts.

Yep. Neither side really pushing too much. It’s like it’s a cup final rather than a league match. Really could do with a goal to make teams attack and take risks.
