What an idiotic post.

Usually love your interventions, man...but Spurs not the only ones having a bad night, eh?!

Did I say I lied about important stuff? Nah. You just assumed & went for the cheap shot cause you're looking for anything to diss me cause I voiced my opinion about a player you love and it didn't fit your narrative.

You wanna call me out on the fact I said Biss likes to party? Be my guest, cause yeah I got zilch evidence. Your feelings hurt cause I said he ain't no quality player in my books? Have a pop.

But the rest of my post was pretty much facts, my man. He has been caught speeding. He was involved in something pretty big, of which he was cleared. His red cards were stupid. He has had many a poor game for us.

Anyway, all the best.

He's a top quality player, that, once he slots into his groove, is unplayable in the middle.

And can nip, nick and drive all day long, at will.

But when he's off... ooof.

Kudos for voicing your opinion like an adult, mate.

Yes, he can be awesome on his day. But those are too few and far between. It don't look to me as if it's a physical issue...the lad's a beast. And bollocks to Conte saying Biss don't understand the tactical side of being a PL player...or whatever crap he said back then. So in my view, it's clearly a mentality thing.

Yes, it's mental/rhythm.

The former impacting on the latter.

He'll keep pushing through and will click into real form again.

It's worth the wait.
 
Poor form you can forgive but to do that knowing how stretched the squad is and for that to be his second stupid red meaning it's a longer ban is completely unacceptable. Been given a huge chance this year and at this point for me is completely pissing it up the wall. Shit for brains I trust pape more than him now.

Ange on the red card:

"Ah, no. I think they slowed it down and they saw what they saw and we have to cop it.

Well, it's an issue but it's not so much discipline. Tonight - like I say I haven't seen a slowed down version - but it's just a desperate lunge more than anything malicious. The guys are having to adapt to learn to play our football without crossing a line but I loved the commitment they showed. Unfortunately we paid a price because it's not just this game, he obviously misses a big chunk of football but it is what it is."

Think that is exactly what the less melty posters are all saying. Players are learning a new way to play and still finding their balance.

Exactly this....but as you put it melters will melt.

Did you say that you lied about important stuff? Lol trust me you don't want the lecture on inplication in text, it's implicit not explicit. Kind of do this for a living. And I don't love the player either, unlike bus conductor I don't buy what his metrics say. He has clearly had a dip. I was the one saying I think he's got some issue possibly physical. I did not painstakingly source it by listening to rent a gobs on podcasts...so you know.
 
bus-conductor said:
It was a really tough game, especially for him. They had 5 in midfield and they stuck Gibbs-White on him to do a man marking job. They rightly identified that he's the guy that takes the ball from the defenders and turns. With no Maddison, there was no alternative (we've seen Maddison drop deeper and help us play out earlier in the season). Up until his sending off we'd still had 75% possession and they'd not had a single shot on target.

He's still absolutely vital to the way we play. He's the pivot. He makes mistakes, but he makes them because Ange wants us/him to play that way, to take risks to break the press etc.

Outside of Rodri he's the second highest passing midfielder per 90 in this league, whilst also being the third tackler p90. You will rarely get a player who does so much of both. he's also in the top 10% for carries.

What he's doing, at this level, is pretty rare. It's fucking staggering that there are people advocating hot potato tanks like fucking Hojbjerg over one of the best midfielders we've seen in a spurs shirt for a long time.

Totally agree. Plus him being man marked freea up space for someone else but idiotic from him tonight

Obviously we're going to say this when it goes against us, but I think they need to change the amount of games for a straight red. With VAR its so much easier to get them now, 4 game bans should be reserved for non football actions.

5 yellows used to be much tougher to 'earn' too.

Has anyone other than Bissouma got 2 reds so far this season? Doesn't seem that easy.

In theory it should be but refs just watch red car challenges and pretend it's nothing.

Between him and Cuti, this shit is not sustainable.

It's beyond stupid.

And they both need to sort it tf out.

And, Udogie ffs.

Fucking hell, tho.

I thought Udogie was very unlucky , it was barely a foul and never a yellow. Also Romero is an aggressive defender that makes and wins loads of challenges. Bisoumma hardly tackles or covers his defenders , yet has 5/6 yellow cards and two reds. Unacceptable and he's let his team mates down in our time of need. The same team mates have dug out two wins despite Bisoumma.

Don't post much on here but watching the game I was sat thinking to myself I was going to post about him and this was before he got sent off.

He's an odd player. He's got so much ability but he seems to be prone to absolute lapses in concentration. Often its an inexplicably poor touch that puts him in trouble and then buys him a card.

Can look a world beater at times. Glides across the pitch and plays the right pass. And then shits the bed and does something stupid.

I posted it a few months back, but I've got a mate who's a brighton season ticket holder who said the same thing about him there. Absolutely brilliant on his day but inconsistent with it, and prone to a lapse of concentration

And he's absolutely focusing on AFCON.

Sure, no one single even determines an outcome, but as far as discrete events go that was an incredibly unnecessary self-inflicted wound that had a major impact on the result.
