Nope
On one hand, it shows what a team we have - that he listened and gave Salah the opportunity.
On another hand, a player who actually scored a great last week and was just about to run up to a great pass should have hit it and won us the game.
We're still going to win the league folks.
He has. And would have benefitted from Divock taking at least one marker closer to him than Mane.
At this stage, I just hope we win at least one of the Cup finals, hopefully the CL, ending up with just a league cup would be a hell of a let down.
You've got no say in the matter. You're our propoganda officer
Edited:-
For their(The Spurs) goal It was VVD and TAA Who where at fault, and he(TAA) spent hardly any of the second half trying to get back in to position (to defend when we we being attacked)

Gutting. So much possession and so little cutting edge. Mo and Mane were invisible. If Keita was coming on, should have been for Hendo. Not even sure Jota played. This game was crying our for Divock. Thought Trent was very good at both ends tbh.
Dead. Died in 18.
Thankfully Kelly’s Heroes emerged from the flames. We delivered number 19. We will deliver the quad.
Me neither, City will think they’ve won it then take Kevin off, bring on Jack and lose against Villa in the last minute.
Better prepare yourself for that inevitability
Fuck the doom and gloom. This is what I hated about the dumb quad talk. It's a recipe for failure, by fixating on a perfect, unlikely scenario. Big ears and any cup would shit from a great height on most any season I've ever seen, and we are one game away from that. We might do a treble with two wins. We might not. But most supporters would give their left nut to be in our position. If you look at our results over the last many games, it's just churlish to complain.
That said, I had to use tinctures to help me cope.

Tough game as expected - just lacking a bit of quality in the final ball and urgency - but there aren’t many teams that are as organised as Spurs, who also have the forward line to hurt us they way they did.
We were all over the place for their goal, hadn’t re-set the formation from a corner, I think, ‘ cause Robbo was stranded at RB and no-one closed the space on the right - which gave them the overload and they punished us for it.
Good response - we put them under pressure, like they were caught in the jaws of a vice, got a deserved break with Diaz shot, but couldn’t find that second clear opening - which is where that quality was lacking in the final ball.
We move on - plenty more heartache to come.

I've put this through Google Translate but still can't make it comprehensible.
Salah : There was a clear difference in the way we pressured on the left with Diaz / Robbo and Tsimikas to the right with Mo + Trent. On the left we were frequently trying to get to the byline and cut it back/cross from there, whereas Trent was throwing in cross after ineffectual cross from deeper and as there was little to no space behind them, and the larger/taller defenders were facing the threat, it was far easier to defend against than having been turned.
Mo is often complicit in this as he, more often than not, tries to cut in to get his shot off, rather than doing what a 'winger' should do and getting past the defence to cut it back.
Having options is good but there is now far more variety from the left than the right as Diaz can also do the Mo. 'skip past a couple and shoot'.
I'd have liked to have seen far more of us trying to get to that byline on the right, it seemed only Thiago, flighting a ball from deep to Hendo a couple of times, was attempting that option of getting in behind the defence on the right.

Dumbledore's army didn't win shit which is why Onceared needed to be sacrificed and Kelly's Heroes was raised to take us to glory.
