To be fair he has seemingly thrown his toys out of the cot, at a time when fans are looking for players to step up he's done the complete opposite, and has become a massive liability.

Today's challenge was really a red card offence, which is pretty bad considering it's only been a few days since he was sent off in the league. It shouldn't be that hard to keep his head in check.

i was wrong about him
 
Not sure about this character assassination thing, it’s easy to do in this situation we’re in but just from a playing point of view his all round defensive game isn’t great. Just never seems there to actually help defend anything. Awful in the air, poor positionally and rash and sells himself way to easy.,

As poster above said, made a name for himself with the high line and chasing back long distances. Recovery over short distances isn’t that good. Would have no problem selling him for good money. He may do really well for a better team because he does have particular skill set. Not convinced by him at all. Romero is a much better defender although we’ ll probably sell him as well.

I agree. He is obviously struggling and at another time and if we had a proper squad he'd get some time out of the team. I'd give him a run at left back just to see if that helps with the pressure. There quotes I have just read suggest he needs a break. Maybe the suspension will help him sit one out. As I have said recently, he is quite an inexperienced player.

"Completely done with it" - Tottenham defender says he's had enough

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven spoke to the Dutch media on Tuesday evening, and shared Spurs frustration

“I could, of course, give the standard talk that we all have to stick together and work hard, but we’re just being dealt a blow after a blow. It’s just really difficult,” he added.

“We have an important match this weekend that I can’t be at, because I’m suspended, of course. But it’s a truly terrible time. How am I feeling mentally? It’s tough, I can tell you. Really tough. I have to keep going; this is life. I’m not on my phone anymore; I’m completely done with it. Only family and stuff.”

When we are relegated don't sell anyone. Make the fuckers play in the championship. After all they got us there.

Micky has checked out. Whatever happens, I don't see him here next season.
He could have been a hero here. But he wont be remembered long.

I’m not sure he has. I think he’s feeling sorry for himself and a little bit hopeless himself

They are clearly feeling it when fans are online saying all kinds about them,

They just need to snap the fuck out of it

Can't tell if he is saying he is done with looking at his phone or done with football at the moment. Either way, not promising.

This club is a cancer right now and we are ruining the few competent players we have.

I know many on here love to shit on individual players but this mess is a culmination of failure between the executives, the coaches, the medical staff, the recruitment team, and the players. It's failure across the entire club and yet there are some really terrible things said about individual players regularly after performances in which I am sure the players are trying. While those players have little control over this disaster from an individual standpoint.
 
I know this is not unique to the business enterprise that exists where our football club once stood, but I wonder if there is any football club with a greater ability to make people happy and relieved to leave when they do
