I thought both McNeil and Iwobi played with both energy and skill tonight, although I missed a good chunl of the first half. Garner looked to be bossing it once he came on and Simms did well to win some ariel duals. Of course Keane got the headlines but Tarkowski was just dominating them.
 
It's important to give the players full credit here, Tottenham weren't off their game, we had a clear strategy to press their forwards quickly when they had their back to goal. We deserve the credit for making their lives difficult and disrupting their rhythm.
 

Glad it was Keane who shot & not Onana.

Onana's ability to strike the ball cleanly with power & accuracy is next to nothing
Tbf he had two strong efforts, both on target, both low and relatively hard, making demands of the keeper. Sure they're not straight up into the top corner but they're far better efforts than the two shots Gana got - and his efforts were from significantly better situations.
 

Zero chance we get that as a penalty

Its not bias, its absolutely true. He just lay down virtually untouched and the ref gave it without any time to think about it
He wasn't untouched though - minimal touch.

We never get those our way, true, but we 1) never get penalties anyway in general and 2) we're also not a media darling, which Tottingham for no reason are. If any player on our team tries to go around trying to literally injure players like Kane has for about his entire career we'd be getting reds every game, but alas.
