I like that Tanganga and his agent accepted that he needed a 30-game season away from Spurs. That's the right attitude, rather than all the "fight for my place" flimflam. He's put himself well up the RB pecking order. And if we did sign a clear 1st choice RB/RCB, I imagine that there'll be plenty of PL clubs happy to take him on a last-minute loan deal if the paperwork would be pushed through in time.
I thought he was fantastic today for an hour or so and rightly fouled Zaha to get a deserved yellow and stop their break... but then he went crazy and got up in Zaha's face yelling and shoving and stuff, what was that all about... I've never seen him go mental like that, did Zaha call him a bad word or something?
Then of course he continued to be mad and lunged into a silly tackle in midfield, stupidly giving Jon Moss the chance to send him off.
Looked to me like Tanganga was the one walking forwards and Zaha was trying to push him away. Tanga should have stuck his chin out and begged to be struck!Looked to me like a boxing style clinch to stop zaha having a swing at him. Doesn't do that and imho zaha is off.
Tanganga definitely knew he was in the wrong and trying to keep the damage to a minimum for zaha.Looked to me like Tanganga was the one walking forwards and Zaha was trying to push him away. Tanga should have stuck his chin out and begged to be struck!
Happy with him today, he’ll learn.
Would have liked to see him fall to the ground holding his face when Zaha went at him though.

Why we didn't target zaha after that is a mystery and a disgrace.
Agreed. These things happen for young lads early in their careers. He'll learn, no harm done.
Also agreed on the gamesmanship, but that's another thing that kids usually learn as they get older.
I thought he played really wellYesterday proved for me that he's a CB. Thought he looked quite dominant for an hour. He's not a right back in my view. As good as he was against City, he was bloody awful in the following two games.
Loved his foul on Zaha too. Made me roar laughing. Shame about the rashness that led to the red card.

Yep the second yellow was daft. It came from him playing the ball out too
