Ole will always do just enough to avoid the sack whenever he is on the verge of getting sacked.

Hopefully.

Bruno with a very late tackle whilst on a yellow. The referee smiles at him. 
 

The Man Utd bias from referees is disgusting. 

Bruno would've been an absolute flop with us, he would not be getting anything when going down similar somewhat to Morata.

Everton have been sh*t today. Another day, and United would have lost.

Ole saves his job then for now.

Keeps him in a job abit longer I guess. 

I thought the match was pretty even up until Cavani in injury time.

There were some tasty incidents too, Pickford looked like he was going to take out Maguire with a knee to his mid region.

Maguire took out Digne which looked a penalty until it was ruled off-side.

Coleman and Fernandes had a wrestling match on the half-way line that MMA might have appreciated. 

 

 

guess I'm backing City tomorrow

Just over a year ago, Southampton were recovering from being beaten 9-0 at home to Leicester.........now they are top of the table. Only in the Premier League 😆

I think the Saints board deserve great credit for believing in their manager , it would have been very easy to sack him on the back of that defeat. Hassenhutl has done well too in keeping his players onside and believing in his methods.

Leeds beaten 4-1 by Palace😀

I felt so sorry for Hassenhutl watching that interview after the result. He seemed a beaten man who was just throwing out old cliches to keep his job. 
 

What a turnaround though. He just seems a likeable guy and he’s clearly a very talented manager.

Although Bamford has scored 7 in 8 games think he could have had a couple more today yet he could not convert, whether that would have made any difference is open to question. 

Lookman 😂

What a terrible terrible penalty. The world slowest chip, straight at the keeper.

You can understand misses or even little dances that backfire but... The keeper actually dived to the floor and had enough time to get up and catch it.

 

What a terrible penalty.

He’s lucky his teammates are putting an arm round him and not completely blanking him.

What a prat, I don’t feel sorry for him, it’s just arrogance. Their fixture list is grim as well, definitely going down. 

how Bamford's left arm can make him offside is beyond me - you can't score with your arm or hand, it shouldn't count as offside

It was a ridiculous decision. Var is getting so many things wrong again this season despite the fact the refs can now view a monitor and change it.

So you’re not a fan?

Mourinho used to leave three smaller, quicker players up the pitch because it at very least meant they opposition had to leave four players to mark them and it left the box clearer for the defenders/Cech to come take the ball. If he did catch it, it’d be played out like a shot on to put us straight on the counter. No idea why we ever stopped, it worked great!

To pull it off you need players with a reputation for being unstoppably quick. We stopped because we eventually lacked the players to pull it off. With Drogba required in the box for defensive duty, our 'quicker' player options were Shevchenko, Malouda and Kalou. Any team who did their homework knew they could gamble against that.

A lot of current set-piece strategy is based around blocking the keeper and exploiting uncertainty, so getting more opposition players away from the penalty area is a great outcome. However, the strategy is completely vulnerable to the short corner, which is a very popular modern strategy.

 

 

This is too funny 🤣

Would be a headlock if I was in his team. I’d be fuming with that. 

So frustrating watching Spurs players backing into oppo players who are jumping for headers. Really pisses me off. 

spurs looking toothless yet again but they’ll win it in the end with some dodgy decision or counter goal.

Oh look, kane fell over in the box, I bet no one saw that coming...
