First penalty is never a penalty, Semedo gets the ball first and then the tiniest touch on Cairney. Having seen the replay I immediately thought it’d be overturned and would be absolutely furious if it was given against us.

Second penalty imo is a penalty. The Wolves player gets none of the ball and his knee clips Wilson’s knee. It’s a foul, I can see why the ref didn’t give it as the angle he had doesn’t show the contact however Wilson gets ahead of the Wolves player and gets caught.

However, fouls like that resulting in penalties feels so ridiculously harsh. There was no danger and he was going away from goal. Giving the attacking side a goal scoring opportunity for free is way too big a “reward” for things like that. I wouldn’t be against a change in the rules where penalties are only given if a goalscoring opportunity is denied, otherwise it’s an indirect free kick. Yes it would add a bit more subjectivity into it but it would also stop attacking players going for balls like this (and also the Cairney one) when they know that if they get a touch on the ball and get slightly clipped then odds are it’s a goal. Tiny inconsequential fouls in the penalty area just shouldn’t be a 75/80% chance at a goal.

Vinicius should have been sent off, for the third time this season, for violent conduct. If he never plays for us again it’d be a day too soon.

All in all we got damn lucky.

We are not good this season.

We need to stop fucking about with the ball at the back. Individual mistakes are individual mistakes, but it’s becoming a systemic issue.

Bassey with a creative masterclass for Spurs here.

Our passing has been way too erratic, creating Spurs opportunities and fucking up our own.
