OMT: Tottenham vs Everton

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

So if its endangering a player what about gomez swinging an arm at a players head?
This is a total cop out to protect a ref.
Disgusting.

Isn't every tackle potentially endangering a player?

Son went for the ball, genuinely, imo. Not sure he was ever going to make it, but his intentions were for the ball and nothing more.

He's stubbed Gomes' foot and from what I can see the consequent movement of gomes, getting his stids stuck, has done the damage

Could literally happen anytime

Why wasn't Dier on after Son was sent off?

His aura's the wrong colour

Shows how it happened
And also why VaR is perfection as they didn’t review that

EXACTLY the type of decision VAR should be used for.

An emotional situation that happened quickly and the ref didn't have a good view of.

Unbelievable how bad VAR is.

[I'll stop saying that now as don't want to clog up the thread]

Pochettino is going nowhere in the short term.
So continually repeating the same thing every time we play is tiresome and pointless.

Get behind the team!

 

[Daisuk]

VAR said didn’t need to look at red card as it was given for endangering an opponent. Are they making it up as they go along?

So, they didn't look at it? Yet, the ref changed his decision to give Son a yellow to a red, based on what, exactly? This is only getting worse, it seems. fudge sake.

What a frustrating game. Eriksen brick Var brick red card brick

 

[yiddo37]

Did he play well? Nearly let Everton in a couple of times because he was napping

Thing with Sanchez is he'll play well during a game and yet still look clumsy/uneasy and liable to give up scoring opportunities and cheap free kicks.

Here's a replay of the Son challenge. Clearly not a red card, in my opinion. Hard to tell exactly what happens, but it's a ridiculous red card, regardless of the injury it caused.

You can see Gomes's leg dangling a bit at the end there, so don't watch it if you can't handle that stuff.

Ooh, I’m going to be unpopular here, but that’s the first time I’ve seen it at normal speed and from that normal view.

I’ve got to say the speed Son went in, and the tight angle looked to be ‘from behind’ for me.

Which I’m inclined to say at best was ‘making the referee have a decision to make’...

He really didn't. He went haring after Gomes because of the elbow and threw in a tackle that had absolutely no chance of getting the ball. It was a revenge tackle that Son never thought would end in a broken leg and never wanted it to end in a broken leg but when you lose your head like that, you always risk and incident like today. For that, Son should feel fudging terrible.

Yes.

Son just isn't that player, and I think his reaction tells you all you need to know

I switched to countryfile. Made a few quid laying us again.

Poch needs to go.

We wont go down, Hughton till the end of the season being told to bring in the young players.

Then the RB Leipzig manager or someone similar start of next season with no European football we will be fine.

 

[Sandman]

Son was already carrying a yellow. So even a yellow for that clear retaliation and he would have been off. But we need to challenge the straight red.

Poch is making things worse for himself. He is playing all these want away players. We as fans would prefer we play the guys who are staying. We have foyth, Tanganga or even Davies who can come in for Toby.

Eriksen should be benched. No matter the results I can get more behind that.

 

[Mikey10]

Davison starting to play well, having been given a few games in a row in his best position.
Despite being written off by 80% of the fan base.
Amazing clue for Poch here as to what can happen if you play players who are keen to do well and give them time on the pitch.

He did okay, but he almost dropped a couple of match-changing clangers. He needs to have a bit less faith in his own ball-playing ability at times

This season is now officially a write off for me.

Poch still saying he is happy with the performance! He was watching a different game to me.

He comes out with the same nonsense after every game now. I’ve stopped listening.

 

[glasgowspur]

I don't have much problem with the red. The challenge in itself might not have been a red but Son was clearly going to foul him because of the elbow. It was indisciplined, it was careless/reckless and it was deliberate. He should feel fudging terrible about it, he was completely at fault in my book.

Rubbish, that was the kind of niggling tackle every team defending a narrow lead in the last 10 mins make.
Sidibe and delp made worse tackles in the game.
Pogba, fabinho and ferndinho would never finish a game if you reffed it.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Sky have just confirmed he got his leg caught in ground pre Aurier. Amazing how many people want to say it was caused by contact with Aurier with absolutely no evidence.

Can someone tell Tyler.

Apparently Son’s remorse is irrelevant.

No, he wasn't on a yellow.

 

[DeanoAustin]

I don't buy it. He's reacted and lost his head. To me, he realised who had the ball and decided to chase hard and tackle like that. He never intended to injure him but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he was looking for revenge.

Wondering if the players have too

He wasn’t on a yellow. He gave a yellow and altered to a red.
