Konate has been brilliant today. He should start every match.

Unusually nervy night for Ali...but the comedian in black cost us 2 point tonight

2 points dropped tonight when we should be home with all 3

It's obvious Jurgen have a soft spot for Son...not the first time I'm seeing him having an extended chat with him

Had to dig deep with a makeshift team.. all the big decisions went against us as the ref had a absolute stinker. Robbo was brilliant today and was so unlucky to be sent off as Kanes challenge was far more dangerous and only got a yellow. Its hard enough trying to keep up with City without awful officiating making things even harder.

Good game but ruined by poor officiating, disappointed with the result but not going to be too harsh on Ali as he made some great saves.

Agreed. Spurs could have had 3 or 4 if it wasn't for Ali and some world class saves.

As soon as I saw the line up I thought we might struggle and that proved to be the case, I don't think I've ever seen us give up so many clear cut chances. The midfield offered very little protection to the back line and if it wasn't for Alison and Konate it could have been embarrassing. The reffing was terrible as well, VAR needs fvcking off, it's a complete waste of time having it. Where did those 6 minutes come from at the end as well?

Did you see City's keeper take out that Newcastle player today? How the hell that wasn't given is beyond me.

We had no midfield today to feed Mo and Jota. Keita and and the young lad Moreton are no substitute for Hendo, Thiago or Fab. We lacked both support for the front 3 and the back 4. Also Ali is becoming prone to making unforced errors. It was uncomfortable to watch that game today, we were always chasing the game, never really in charge and would have been lucky to take all 3 points. A draw was a fair result. Could have down with Curtis Jones. We go again.

I'd find it hard to fault Ali for anything today he was absolutely world class. The through balls were happening way too often and he had to basically play sweeper.

I'm not doubting he's a great stopper, what I am saying is in the last couple of months he's started making uncharacteristic errors of judgement either rushing out to balls or making poor passes/throws when distributing the ball. Still the best goalie in the league, don't worry. Hopefully linking up with Taffarel will keep both he and Kelleher the best in the business for years to come.

Tough game, bad decisions, Kane should've been off. Had Spurs converted their chances we would've come home with nothing.

3 Points off high flying City, going to be tough to keep up with them. We keep going ..
If it wasn't for the bald twerp we would've been dominating the league for few years.

My concern is City have got the squad, we are always few main injuries away from drifting away.
