    Now Firminho off for Liverpool.

    3 injuries in the opening 30 minutes and Rashford struggling

    Did the players not bother warming up properly

    Daniel Sturridge is now in charge of warm ups

    Which is a worry seeing he's now on

    Be interesting to see how Rashford does at HT 

    20 minutes ago he looked done and if its just adreneline getting him through then 15 minutes sitting down will not help him at all

    Injection? - Imagine they'll give him something to get through the second 45mins

    Are they allowed to implement stuff like that at half-time?

    Pochettino showing a lack of class at the end there IMO, Spuds always capitulate when it counts
    Ok.  First things first.  Spurs were dire.  Eriksen showed yet again absolutely no desire and disappeared yet again. Aurier had one of his off days, its becoming a problem where he is blowing hot and cold too much.  Poch hit the panic button too early by throwing on Llorente after 60 mins and changed the direction of the game by taking Winks off who keeps it ticking.

    Now, Mike Dean.  Yes, the same Mike Dean, that lives in the Wirral and never referees Liverpool.  He's now reffed 3 of our defeats this season and we're not getting the rub of the green with him.  He gives us absolutely nothing.  He had a proper mare yesterday and its becoming an issue.

    Its quite clear that Dean has said something sarcy to Poch to get that reaction.  Poch may be in the wrong for snapping but Dean should know better.   Lets see what comes out in the wash about what Dean has alleged to have said to him and then feel free to judge him.

    Mike Dean is turning into the new Mark Clattenburg and making it all about him when you should barely know whether a referee has been involved.
    Can't believe you have slagged off Ericson !  All players have quiet games. How disengenuos to criticize your best midfield player over the last few years. 
    I enjoy watching Spurs but while Levy cares more about his bonus than winning the League title or winning Trophies than get used to this situation.
    As for decisions going against you welcome to the real world. Defend the corner better and it won't be a problem.
    I think Spurs are over achievers and Mike Dean if he was bias would go against Man City not Spurs.
    Pochettino has let the Stadium debacle and no signing get to him.
    He Will feel embarrassed watching that back.

    Worst game of football I've seen in a while, neither side wanted to lose so neither went for the win

    Who the feck do Leicester think they are?
    Winning the PL was a freak happenstance, they are nothing more than relegation fodder and need a reality check.

    I thought that hence my original response of a point being a good result IMO.

    On reflection maybe @Uboat posted this when the own goal was disallowed

    City now favourites for the title, but not sure i agree yet.

    Liverpool are top and have (on paper) an easier run in plus also more importantly, after the 2nd leg at Bayern could well have no more cup games.

    Will definitely go down to the wire though.

    Be interesting to see how long Firmino is out injured for. He's a vital part of the way they play.

    Trying not to be biased but I believe the high energy pressing game from the start of the season has gone from Liverpool game. I predicted this to happen as it happened in the previous 2 seasons.

    To only have 1 shot on target from the game is very very poor. Indeed United had the better chances with only 34% possession. That Smalling/Lindelof partnership looks the business to me.

    Was surprised Klopp picked Henderson ahead of Keita and Milner at RB instead of Trent A-A.

    City have the best squad and are course and distance winners.  City have Aguero, Sterling, Sane, Jesus, Bernado Silva, David Silva, Mahrez, Gundogan and Kevin De  Bruyne to score goals. 

    How over a full season are Liverpool expected to top that in a season when Salah is finding it difficult to emulate his awards winning 2017/18 season.

    I really wonder how ex pros who are paid big money to comment,  wrote off City's Premier chances. When Man United won the title so many times they would always hit top gear come February. Klopp is a good manager but Pep's hardest job is who to leave out.

    Mike Dean is turning into the new Mark Clattenburg and making it all about him when you should barely know whether a referee has been involved.

    Less than 2 weeks ago on this very page you said this about Mike Dean:

    "Michael Oliver should watch him and learn how to referee a game fairly"
    When he doesnt referee Tottenham games he is very good.  I cant argue with that.

    But he lives in Heswal, Wirral.  Just the otherside of Birkenhead.  The Wirral is predominantly Liverpool supporting.  Everyone knows if.  His local club are Tranmere Rovers.  We put 7 past them a few weeks ago.  What did he say to Poch for Poch to lose it?

    I ask whether it would be appropriate for Mr A N Other of say Enfield or Chingford to be refereeing a Liverpool or Man City in the run in?!

    The standard of refereeing in the PL is a joke.  The sooner VAR is introduced, the better.  Too much is at stake for mistakes to be made time and time again.
    I disagree about the standard of referees and I think they are getting better. From what I saw the ref told Poch to go away and Poch is telling the ref to go away. I am all for VAR and the error that resulted in the first goal would have been picked up by VAR where it in use but you can’t expect an assistant referree to see every deflection. Your point about the ref having something against Spurs is a bit desperate in my opinion and is probably borne out of frustration that some of the Spurs players weren’t up for the physicality that a Burnley side bring to the game.

    Laporte and Fernandinho injuries today could see them kept out for a few weeks.
    Both a big loss in the title run in. City will be hoping they’re back sooner rather than later.

    City's games over the next 5-6 weeks are relatively easy so i think they'll be ok.

    Disingenuous? Erm, it was just an honest assessment of him tbh.  If he was consistent, the bigger clubs would have come calling for him already.  You ask any Spurs fan what Eriksen's main weakness is and thats his consistency.  Oh and his total inability to make a bloody tackle on the edge of his own box.  In total agreement with the rest of what you say though about Levy and Poch.

    Dear god... Someone was telling me about this when we got into work today

    Its the big worry about VAR as they were also saying that Levante got denied a penalty themselves before that incident i.e. It'll make the referee's look incompetent if they dont review the decisions themselves but be so easy to let the decision come from those watching in some room and get some incidents be ignored or given as they see fit
