The point today will be fine as long as Spurs don't better the result when they play Chelsea .The positive is that Chelsea are at home for that where they have been not too bad.

Liverpool where god awful today but again we have them at home Spurs have them at Anfield so gives us a slight edge.

Pray Youri is not to bad as we badly missed him when he went off .

Let's hope Arsenal do us a favour tomorrow.

Does he rush out? Yes. Does Diego still has time to head that - but he makes a bad defensive judgement. You cannot make a move like that in the middle of your final third. For me, it's more on Diego than the keeper.

Olsen position isn't great but to me Carlos has there options 

Head it back 

Control on chest and hit the ball away either up field or even for a throw in.

What he does is what you would expect from  a youngster coming into the team.

He was the wrong sub for Tielemans tbh. Should've came on for Bailey later on. That's on Unai. 

Only other option was Tim and given we won with Diarby as a 3 behind Watkins last game I can see why he did it .

The issue is the 2 in cm Luiz and McGinn never got on ball to feed that front three.The three spend most of game running after the ball and defending.

Can someone explain why he has to start on Thursday? 

Coz Emi is suspended

Watch it back. Olsen stops running because Diego indicates he going to take control and well doesn't. He could have still headed it to him.

Have to see it again but it looked 100% Carlos at error.

From this FH Liverpool look done for the season.

My feeling is take each game as it comes , as cliched as that sounds as so many factors that can come into play.

For example we beat Chelsea and go 9 points clear , Spurs then under more pressure Sunday. We lose and gives them less pressure as a win cuts it to 3 points. You also don't know mindsets of teams we play just yet , Liverpool for example is much tougher game if they can still win league than if they are out of it with only pride to play for.

Enzo Fernandez ruled out for rest of season for Chelsea ..not sure if they actually makes them worse

That last game at Palace is looking tougher and tougher. They have been fantastic in the past 10 days.

Yes on the other hand the Liverpool game looks easier now 

Football gota love it 

Everton get destroyed by Chelsea 

Now winning against Liverpool 

Meanwhile Chelsea who destroyed them got destroyed by Arsenal 

Liverpool might not be such a tricky game (us or Spuds)  watching them tonight ,they have been awful so far.

God. Stupid Americans eh... unable to articulate a single sentence and not knowing what is going on outside of their own country. ....

Btw.  Genius idea to connect vegas and LA by rail.  90 percent of those 50 million trips a year would be done hungover. Now u just jump on a train. 

Also from the UK visiting Vegas gives you option of flight to LA then train to Vegas. Seems a good idea.

Chelsea look a team whose season is over and going through motions

I was thinking myself, do Chelsea actually want conference league football? 

I'd say no and also I suspect the players not on any bonuses to get in it either. 

Be keeping an eye on Chelsea / Arsenal tomorrow. With the former out of the cup now and no CL to play for will be interesting how the motivation is with the squad. 

Overall match Spurs results against Liverpool and Chelsea and win either one of Brighton and Palace and we should be fine.

Pretty sure previously they've moved Porro out to LB previously. However he also went off injured v Newcastle so not sure if he's in contention.

Udogie is a contender for team of the season so big boost for us he can't feature anymore for them this season.

Went off with Hamstring ,they haven't said if it's serious yet.2 week break between games should help him.

A derby game so form can go out window but coming off a 4-0 loss that's a tough game .

Chelsea for both of us is hard to call.Out of FA cup now so might effect them as at best they could scrap into Europa league so what motivation will they have ? 

Udogie out would seem to suggest Ben Davies going to lb against Saka.Thats already a nice boost for Arsenal and us.

First time in 9 years no English teams in Europa / CL semis ..

City out as well ,Real with a smash and grab ..God knows why Pep took off Haaland and DeBrunyne when could be pens 

Shocking pen from Bernardo Silva 

Arsenal going to end up with nothing this season again 

Arsenal ..useless 

I suspect most recent seasons England would easily get the co efficient points.Newcastle and United both being so poor they didn't even make Europa shafted it from the get go

4 goals in the second half and some subs, only 4 minutes added?

Normal for euro games they don't add on anything like PL refs
