Spurs squad is going to be so depleted these next few games lol.

Bissouma is such an idiot. Been a tire fire since his first red. Don't want to see him as a starter beyond next summer.

How Nottingham only got away with two yellows is a bit odd. Just look at everything Yates did.

Props to Kulusevski, Daddy Davies and Big Vic.

Luckily we're starting to hear the injured guys are training, so fingers crossed they are back soon.

At least we have PEH to take over the Bissouma spot through the AFCON. Going to need to try to strengthen there though.

Davies as been quite good filling in for vdV. He doesn’t really deserve all the abuse he gets from some Spurs fans.

I don't understand the abuse. He's not a week in/week out starter, but he is a great fill in, and by all accounts a great squad player. Doing a bang up job the last few weeks and if he can keep it rolling through VdV's injury spell we'll be in good shape.

Nope, I disagree

If Spurs can get 3 pts next week that would put them at a pace for 72, which has been good enough for the CL since 17-18

How much is United going to be battered by on Sunday? 4, 5, or 6?

I can see either two results as my prediction; either 2-1 Man United win or a 4-1 LFC win.

I mean, everyone said Utd was going to beat LFC last year, and LFC dropped a 7-0 on them. Don’t think it’ll ever be that straight forward again. LFC should win but things are rarely so simple

I think Chelsea would need to score early, and then get at least second later on, because I don't think the midfields have enough stamina to last the whole match and contain Sheffield, especially when they get yellows along the way.

At least they have an opportunity to bring on Enzo later.

It could easily be a blowout again. Liverpool are excellent on the break and United are awful against the break.
Sure, it could, but again what did everyone think was going to happen last year in this fixture?

"Slight graze on the shin"...

When I got to "corruption" I almost stopped reading, but I'm glad I didn't

Ignoring the video to comment on the person posting it is really peak HF
The Yates challenge wasn't anywhere near as bad as Bissouma's.

When everything is "corruption", it's no surprise that guy bent himself out of shape about a much less severe challenge to play victim.

Yates won the ball and kept his studs down. It could have easily gone either way since he was a bit out of control going in, but either way it's no where near the same as the Bissouma challenge.

Was it harsh to call it as a foul on Skipp? Sure, but it's certainly not corruption.

Clear card on Yates. Bissouma's was a red, I never once said anything differently, but it was far more dangerous contact than Bissouma's was.

....that has to be a red on Jimenez

Are they gonna be able to actually field a team in a couple weeks?
no clue. lascelles just had a flailing arm hit Jiminez and a minute or so later Jiminez has a wild challenge that VAR ended up getting the ref to upgrade to a red.
