Brilliant game between Wolves and Leicester but i'd love to know how the Wolves manager can be sent off (and now probably banned) for celebrating a last minute winner with his players when absolutely nothing happened to Klopp when he did exactly the same v Everton.
If klopp got a red the tears shed from anfield would’ve caused a tsunami across the Irish Sea.
Chelsea looked poor. No idea what Sarri's game plan was.
You have one of the best wingers/wide players in the league.......so you play him as a false 9. You have one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.......so you play him further forward. Kovacic and Jorginho offered nothing. Hudson-Odoi is exciting and creates stuff yet is left out for Pedro/Willian.

Same ref who didn't send off klopp, sent off the wolves manager. Agree with Lineker that he was told he made an error by the refs accessor last time.
Mark Hudson being bold, how often do u see a caretaker manager come in and keep the squad the same as the previous game under the old manager, maybe 1 or 2 changes max.
Mark Hudson has made 6 changes for Huddersfield today
Basically for those not on twitter sky thought they had seen the Dortmund coach Jan Siewert in the crowd who is favourite for Huddersfield job, so they sent a reporter to go and speak to him, turns out it wasnt Siewart but someone called John Morris who is apparently David Wagners ex agent
What this season has showed us is the top 3 sides all have a player that makes the system work
Whilst City (Fernandinho) and Spurs (Kane) have both lost these players to injury Liverpool have been fortunate that their key man (Firmino) has stayed largely injury free. It’s by no means the only reason they are top, but they’ve definitely been lucky with injuries to their front 3.

Mitrovic is one hell of a dirty bastard. Cant believe he didnt get sent off for strangling Dave Sanchez.
Actually, I'll go as far as saying thats one of the worst refereeing performance I've seen in years. Booking Rose for diving. Missing 2 blatant pushes on Llorente. Wouldnt have been surprised to find out that the ref had a season ticket at bloody Arsenal.

If you mean when they both got booked from what I saw on SkySports, it looked like 50/50 both could have seen red, didnt see strangling tho but maybe I just missed it

Liverpool would miss Van Dijk the most I think.
It's a weird one in the sense that he's probably their best player, but without Firmino the whole system collapses. Providing the front 3 is in tact they can still outscore sides
Based on that performance Spurs urgently need to get a striker in. Ok they won the game (just) but they have much bigger tests ahead than Fulham. 2nd leg v Chelsea, champions league v Dortmund, league games with Chelsea and Arsenal. Llorente isn't going to do much.
They've also lost Dele Alli for a few weeks now as well.

@Laddick01 Do you watch much Premier league, sorry to be blunt... if they missed Firminio would be the biggest loss??? he was awful until the Arsenal game, both all round play and goalscoring. Granted he fits their system perfect but Van Dyk would be the biggest loss, then a certain Salah, Mane all ahead of him.
I agree Liverpool have been pretty lucky with injuries although i thought Gomez injury would hurt them and they have coped, looks like the writing is on the wall this season.

Can't believe Sanchez got booked for that. Bizarre.

Literally won the ball, tried to dribble clear then as soon as Mitro got pushy he walked away. Crazy to get a yellow for that.
I find it very interesting that other than Chelsea signing Pulisic and loaning him straight out and signing Higuain on loan, that there have been no other signings to top 6 clubs this window

I think its common knowledge (maybe not on here mind you!) that Levy has been trying to shift the likes of Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and a few other fringe players off the books before bringing anyone in. Levy wants permanent fees but clubs only interested want them on loan with no obligation to buy. No surprise but Levy's going to have to take a hit on them and obviously he is reluctant to do so. Main issue for Spurs is that we're bound by the homegrown quota where we need to have 8 homegrown players in the squad.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Perisic go to Arsenal in the next couple of days, along with Denis Suarez. Chelsea look stronger for getting Higuain in, Liverpool and Man City have got an abundance of riches and Man Utd have got a new lease of life in them.
Klopp getting a bit of stick tonight over getting the groundstaff to only clear snow from the half of the pitch that Liverpool attacked in the second half. Ironic given he moaned about the length of the grass after they lost at Man City.
Also Sarri has lost the plot it seems, Chelsea no better off than they were last season. No idea why he persists with playing Kante further forward, the guy was immense in the holding midfield role.

Is this why Walker-Peters, who will be 22 in a couple of months time, has only played a dozen or so games for Spurs (he hasn't even been out on loan anywhere) but not been sold?

They both should be red.
That England attack is scary
You have one of the best wingers/wide players in the league.......so you play him as a false 9.

Not sure if that will work, haven’t posted a link on here before
Warning, not for squeamish people. Grim viewing of Bellerin’s injury.

Think of him every time I see him play.
Maybe just the way he runs

Poor Patrick was minding his own business in the centre circle in the first half and just got taken down by his neck
Another joke decision that saw nothing given by the ref yesterday!!

There's more detail on it here >> https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/premier-league-homegrown-players-rule-15000791. One of the main reasons why Walkers Peters, Oli Skipp and now Kaziah Sterling have been integrated into the squad.
