Bad VAR again. That looked like a handball(penalty) to me, certainly more than a 2 second review that was used.

Fantastic performance by saints (just not the finishing/luck to go along with it)

Sure we'll be made pay because spurs won't be that bad in the 2nd half.

Unbelievably exciting attacking play from Saints.  Yes, frustrating we're not ahead. But what a team this has become. Romeu and JWP utterly dominant.  Seeing Moi dazzle is a huge bonus. Whatever happens from here, it's cool to be supporting a team capable of such class. The days of Puel are far in the rear view mirror.

We've absolutely murdered them. If it was a boxing match the referee would have stopped it. Should be 3 or 4-1 up. Would have liked to see us shout more for the Hojbjerg handball - where was VAR on that as it looked like a pen. Still, we know what happens now don't we.

Don't they check everything? Surely the bloke on VAR just said no penalty so they carried on.

It was checked, referee stopped play for the check to complete when the ball went out for a throw. 

Definitely gets given up the other end. 

We've played well but have missed some great chances. Conte will get into them at half time and they won't be anywhere near as bad as they were in that first half.

Great half. Love watching us when we take it to teams. From front to back we have done well. Loved seeing Forster come off his line to claim a corner, Salisu's weight of pass out wide, the dominance of midfield and the way Broja takes the ball on the outside of his foot while at full sprint.

Going to be hard to replicate that in the second half. We can can only get worse and they can only get better, sadly.

That's absolutely scandalous, handball, all day, week, month long. He literally moved his arm to control the ball. Textbook handball. 

Not given!?!?

I guess I don't understand the laws. Last year, same thing Bertie was pulling his arms behind him and the ball struck his arm after being hit from a few yards away, ~10 mins later Wolves player (Dendonker I think) controlled the ball with his arm.

Penalty given against Saints but not Wolves.

AM I going crazy or did they change the laws to allow you to control the ball with your forearm?

Can't complain with the starting XI , perhaps too attacking but on paper looks a good side , still expecting 3-1 defeat 

we should be out of sight going on this first half performanece...........why cant we smash a team 6 or 7   one?. Brilliant so far though COYS.

Might as well burn off my last post before the inevitable second half disappointment to say we've been terrific - Perraud in particular looks well settled in now and a great outlet going forward.

Best of luck everyone.
