Match Threads Bournemouth v Spurs - Match Thread

[seppo]

What an absolute shambolic 45 from Dier. Miles off the pace. Should be chucked at HT. Get Wanyama on for some legless defensive stability and him them on the counter. Try to nick a 0-1.

Literally never seen a red given for a shove. Barely a match goes by without a bit of afters and I've never once seen a sending off for a shove alone.

Diet has got to come off for Skipp or Wanyana or else we will be down to 9. I know that Son was provoked but there's simply no excuse for his reaction right in front of the ref, he knows were walking a tightrope and he's now dropped us right in the shit as he also won't be available next week for what is now looking like a must not lose game and possibly a must win. FFS Spurs,use your heads !

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

I’ve genuinely never hated a season more than this one. Even when we were fucking shit and getting managed by Tim Sherwood, it was easier to watch Spurs than it is now.

 

[Marcus_spur]

If Dier comes back on the field after HT we are asking for even more trouble.

No need to go for broke and throw Llorente or Janssen on now, play it sensible because we can still create opportunities even down to 10 men but for the love of Christ, let's try and keep our heads!!

Agree. Skipp or Foyth for Dier, and play smart. Alli and Lucas should still be able to create enough to score, particularly now thst Bournemouth will be throwing everything foreward

Sons was a red. You can’t shove a player like that however how petulant it is.

Dier as to be taken off because of a risk of a second yellow but I honestly don’t think it was a second yellow or a pen.

 

[UbeAstard]

Anyone know what the rulebook actually says? A push can't possibly be a straight red?

For me it's the way the player goes over and exagerates, if he doesn't it's just a yellow.

 

[WiganSpur]

Regardless of whether it's a yellow or red, why even give the referee the opportunity to decide. If he doesn't react, he stays on the pitch. It's stupid in such an important game.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

I’d rather see Foyth come on for Dier. Yeah it’s a risk but he’s a ball player, has pace and can pick a pass. We need to try and win this game.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Does Son miss 2 games for straight red due to violent conduct? So he'll miss our last game of the season and 1st game next?

Three isn’t it for violent conduct

 

[mattdefoe]

we thought the same about this game & look how its turned out lol

That’s true , maybe he will have a point to prove mid week

Footballs really gone soft hasn’t it ?

 

[Goofster]

We should be down to 10 men however you put it. Ref bottled giving Dier a 2nd yellow earlier so we can't complain about being a man down. The push from Son is so silly and stupid but can't really see the red card there. It's clear that Dier isn't fit and I think he should be withdrawn in half time,. These silly challenges and sloppy touches are going to cost us this game. Hold out for the draw and regroup to beat Everton. Give Vinny game time as we're gonna need him to start vs Everton.

 

[daryl hannah]

GUtted. We need to scrape a 1-0 out of this.

 

[Stamford]

Nothing to do with the ref we should be a ten men anyway. I'm so angry with this team

I thought it was three games?

 

[bubble07]

It fuckin had to be the one player we didnt want sent off. We are cursed

Dier is an absolute dick for even attempting to tackle from behind. What is up with him??

Whether we like it or not the only chance we have is to bring llorente/janssen on and have lucus and dele play off him.

Play eriksen alongside sissoko and tell dier to piss off

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

How? By not blowing for 2 penalties?

There’s no way Son is a red, and if Pawson wasn’t waving his yellow at us after the 1st min we wouldn’t be talking about Dier, seriously watch all the games he’s reffed us, he’s a shithead.

 

[mpickard2087]

Some of you are incredibly, and tbh pathetically, biased. I get it, it's our football team, but come on. Son had absolutely lost the plot there completely, it was an ultra aggressive shove and there can be no complaints it's a red card.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I think we've hit our wall tbh.

I think the wall hit us...

I think we've hit our wall tbh.

This. Too many matches, too many injuries, and this team is out of gas. I'd be ecstatic at this point if we could figure out a way to draw the remaining two matches.
