    Why did no one tackle Son ?

    Having seen the goal by Son more than once I am baffled why he was allowed to go through so many players to eventually score the goal of the season. I really like him as a player and think he is very much under rated by the football media , not getting anywhere near the credit he fully deserves for his performances week in week out. However, when you see a goal like that scored against your own team ,questions have to be asked.
    It reminded me very much of the occasion when Burnley played at Elland Road and were heavily beaten and I think Eddie Gray was allowed to do what he wanted just like at Spurs on Saturday. Is it that difficult to at least attempt to tackle an opponent. Oh how I wished Burnley had a player like Son. A wonderful talent, who stays in the background ,but so important to Mourinho. I just hope it doesn”t happen again.

    Having watched it three times now and relived it in two consecutive nights of hot sweated nightmares, why the phook did Pieters not take him out?

    When I played if you did not "take one for the team", you did not play next week.

    Why allow Harry Kane to go on the inside, not make a challenge and then shake your head when the ball hits the back of the net like it's arrived by Exocet?

    Bardsley would have 'fettled' him early doors, however, our fans don't like that --it's not football!
