Mourinho harping on about 4 yards is just sour grapes if it had been the other way and Spurs scoring he would have kept his gob shut.
He should be more concerned about his side lacking effort and desire and the fact they never really laid a glove on us. It was an easy win for us
 

What nobody else is saying

There was an issue yesterday that hopefully disappears over the coming weeks. Richarlison missing so many chances and not looking for anything other than a shot has to disappear very quickly or it will cost us in the long run.

You can chalk up it being the first game of the season and everything else he did but if it were not for Calvert lewen, we would have dropped 2 points based on the wastefulness in front of goal.

If richarlison can bring more creativity into his role in that set up for lewen and perhaps hit the target a little bit more then we have the makings of a deadly front 3. Man mark Rodriguez whilst richarlison is ripping your right back to shreds , creates problems both sides , and different problems.

Either way, with his goal, lewen looked like he can be that player for us again. Not going to match the wide two for creativity but the right ball in the right place and bang, it's a goal. I said it weeks ago, that's what lewen needs, to take that once chance a game. He does that then he becomes a great player .
 
Hopefully as the season progresses and injuries are gone we can have people like JPG, Iwobi & Gordon on the bench so he doesn't have to come on.
He looked like he'd been the one playing for most of the match. He was lasy, slow and letting players run past him with ease.

The only time he got it wrong was when he went round the keeper. He should have taken a touch and rolled it to DCL.

The other times he had a go I don't blame him. He just failed to hit the target.

Don't really even think it's cut and dry that he should have squared it anyway.

Obviously in hindsight, yes, but Rich has scored goals like that before from that angle - Brighton home in 2018-19 almost identical.

He just lost his composure and it was a crap finish. But had he scored it nobody would have complained about him not squaring to DCL.
