Adebayo took his 10th of the season well anyway lads.
Didn’t realise he hadn’t been given the goal until I watched Match of the Day. Madness.
Surely the rule should be that if it’s a point blank, negligible deflection that doesn’t change the outcome, it’s not credited to that player.

He was alright yesterday. Thought that Micky Van De Ven had him in his arse pocket for the majority of the game though.Looks a player that lad.
Of course he did - it barely brushed Harrison's knee as he was trying to get out of the way.
Crediting it to Harrison is as daft as giving Peter Thompson an 'Assist' for Sandy Browns OG
No. 2 of spurs players were behind the goal line.
Thus not on the field of play - therefore not counting as being between the 'scorer'...Harrison...and the goal line??
Edit; this sort of stupidness is why VAR needs binning
They never had permission to leave the field of play though. They fell into the goal, so they’re still in play.
Did okay , but I feel we should be looking elswhere as I think we may have seen the best of the lad. Time to move him on.
From the FA website regarding offside:
A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside its penalty area. If the player left the field of play deliberately, the player must be cautioned when the ball is next out of play.

He really is going through a slump at the moment. I do think it's hard to completely blame him and I still think he's a good striker. We just don't seem to play to his strengths enough and we severely are lacking in creativity.
Nearly all our goals are set pieces but even that being said he used to score from a fair few of those.
I think the fans need to take some responsibility for his form too. The reason is because that one on one he had against villa for example, he was probably petrified of trying anything creative as he knew he would get pelters if he missed the target. So he kept it simple and just hit the target. Getting on a players back all the time does impact their form and these players are human after all.
His all round play is decent he just needs to break that duck and then I think he will go back to how he used to be a 10-15 goal a season striker

He is upfront on his own too much.

Lone striker. Par for the course !
you cant leave the field of play to make a player offside, if we want to get really pedantic, a player needs permission form the ref to leave (and reenter) the field of play
Best striker at the club. Get behind him you miscreants.
15 games to go. If he is fit he plays
