Any truth in the rumours that Anthony Taylor actually saw a red card offence that was right under his nose and actually dealt with it?

 

[fundy]

Conte needs more defenders at 3-1 down lol

He seemed to take a while to give it. Almost like there was a word in his ear by an assistant

I can't see how that's a red for Royal. It's just a lazy tackle, he's stuck a leg out but he's not dived in, he's on his feet. Just caught his ankle with the studs as he goes past - red card?? Dear me. Only silver lining of that mess is that he'll now be suspended though so every cloud.

Take your rose tinted glasses off, it was a clear red card. That “lazy” tackle could see a player out of 6 months.

Don't be silly. He's not dived in with any force he just stuck a leg out as he ran past and caught him. I've seen so many worse tackles that players haven't been red carded for.

Didn’t see the game, as thankfully I was on the golf course ?
Although I have an idea, tell me how where Spurs on the eye ?
Was there any slick silky football ?

There was plenty, very little of it by Spurs though

I missed a lot of the first half. Last 20 mins of it was pretty end to end. Second half we just did absolutely nothing.

So even at 2 and 3 down, Conte continued to play counter attacking football ?

Lol no he didnt even do that, with 20 mins to go he took off Richarlison, Son + 3 others and brought on Sanchez, Bissouma, Sessegnon, Doherty and Skipp lol

Ended the game with 5 defenders, 3 holding midfielders and Kane

Give me a Spaniard over an Italian all day long ?

It’s like a total reverse, we’re playing football like George Graham style and you’re like Pochettino ??

 

[Swango1980]

Not seen the game today, but twitter seems to suggest TAA had a shocker in defence today. I'll not hang my hat on that, but Liverpoolphil often uses twitter as a reliable source of information, so I guess there might be some truth in it.

Just annoyed I had Trossard on my bench for fantasy football.

 

[Slime]

Can anyone please remind me why United were stupid in not employing Conte as their manager?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

In the meantime, Super Frank continues the Blue revolution ?

 

[clubchamp98]

Yes, but I thought the question was about club versus England form, not playing time. I know Pickford has good games at Everton, but it is also probably club form that gives him a reputation of being a liability to some.

Yes but up to now he hasn’t let England down in any way.
You can’t say that about Pope.!
I am sure all keepers have good and bad days, all footballers do,.
