***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

Simons will come good btw, you can't really expect a young 10 in a new country and league to hit the ground running in a team that can barely perform.

Hopefully.
But he needs to grow up.
He's 22, so young but not a kid.
Over 100 top level game plus over 30 internationals.
For all his talent both PSG and Leipzig decided he was surplus.

Time for him to step up.

 

[Baleforce]

It was VVD that put his studs down the calf of a Spur a couple of years ago, right?

he does it every game, he's a fudging cheat

 

[billyiddo]

With no weight or pressure at all

Was enought to pierce his sock

Exactly that. There was also an elbow or two.

He's scum.

 

[Rorschach]

Blow it up ref

 

[billyiddo]

Grow up

 

[Kandi1977]

There will be loud boo's at the whistle, and it's towards the Refereeing, but people will of course misinterpret on purpose.

 

[DeanoAustin]

That was a decent half. Better side before the red and been reasonably comfortable since. Still expect the one man advantage to tell but we’ve been okay.

Xavi, Kudus and Muani have been abysmal for different reasons from that tackle, to stupid decisions to not giving a fudge.

Rest of the team have been good with Spence probably the best of the bunch.

Was enought to pierce his sock

A sock that already had holes in?

This is a contact sport, that's barely a foul - let alone a sending off.

I hope your right just like Tel

I don't think they will today, pretty obvious who we're upset with

 

[monkeybarry]

Give over, he's nothing like Ndombele. He gives plenty of effort, just needs to settle

Time will tell. Hopefully I'm wrong.
As it stands, Ndombele did more in our shirt.
Simons hasn't shown anything, outside of one or two performances, to suggest anything else.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Is a yellow for that challange a clear and obvious error?

 

[Daisuk]

Hopefully.
But he needs to grow up.
He's 22, so young but not a kid.
Over 100 top level game plus over 30 internationals.
For all his talent both PSG and Leipzig decided he was surplus.

Time for him to step up.

Absolutely. It would do him a world of good if we could settle more as a team and actually play a style of football that would suit his abilities.

He also needs to bulk up and get properly adjusted to the tempo, of course.

 

[DeanoAustin]

With no weight or pressure at all

Have you ever played football?

VVD’s sock was ripped FFS.

Fair/accurate reflection of the half

 

[Baleforce]

been the better team, Vic has made what, one easy save

 

[glasgowspur]

That was a decent half. Better side before the red and been reasonably comfortable since. Still expect the two man advantage to tell but we’ve been okay.

Xavi, Kudus and Muani have been abysmal for different reasons from that tackle, to stupid decisions to not giving a fudge.

Rest of the team have been good with Spence probably the best of the bunch.

Ftfy

It's was a clear red card.

Studs up alone is worthy of a red, let alone when you're nowhere near the ball.

 

[Muttley]

To me, VVD exemplifies the double standard and inconsistency that exists in PGMOL.

Over a long period, he hasn't been refereed to the same scrutiny as most PL players

Nothing to do with today's decision.
