Why is it red? Not aiming for the ball? Because we see those kind if kick downs in every game to stop counter attacks
The Tottenham Hotspur 2020/21 thread

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It is not a red card.
Not aiming the ball and tackle from behind. It is a red card all day long.
I agree, not only here, but everywhere, they are the worse type of fans, they act and talk like they won the PL 25 times and the CL 15 times. Shite club with annoying fans.
Even Ole thinks that's going to be a red
Cnut of a post.
Edit: Removed full stop after “cnut” because that was an accidental typo.
How did you get that from Ole's reaction, he maybe thought it was unnecessary to foul him. It is a tactical foul nothing more.
I think you would be better off going off line and calming down a bit.
So why is it not a red when players do excactly the same in any other game to stop counters? That’s also tacklings from behind with no aiming for the ball. I think the key here is if the challenge is violent (dangerous) or not and both the ref and VAR ment it was nothing more than a professional foul in high speed. And again, it’s a very bad challenge. No doubt about that

feck me , Spurs fans are getting a bit carried away. The Jose implosion will be glorious this season.
Don’t understand why everyone is going crazy over this being a red. It’s just a shithouse tactical foul. Probably a bit harder than it needed to be, but so are a lot of tackles/fouls. I hate tactical fouls, but they’re not a red.
Think they have a shot at winning the league this season if Bale is able to perform. The front three of Son, Kane and Bale will have insane productivity and Jose will do the rest with his defensive organization. It would be somewhat poetic for him to win the league this season when most top teams seem to have forgotten what defending is.
Ole made Mou special again.
Intentionally dangerous? Pull his shirt or clip his heels if you’re going to do the tactical foul. Imagine making a tactical foul at 6-1 anyway. The reason for that tackle was because he got burnt for pace and looked like a mug chasing him down.
That dink from Son was something else. He was under loads of pressure, running full pelt, and had no room to work with. Hard to find that kind of composure.
Still not sure about them. Woeful against Everton and couldn’t kill off a pathetic Newcastle. Southampton and our kamakazee defending played into their hands, as well as going down to ten and gifting them two goals. Without a doubt they’ll be devastating on the counter but i think they’ll have problems against the deeper defences. People are talking a lot about the front three but Gareth Bale will miss half of their games this season through injury. With the way this season has started I think it’s best to wait and see. The West Ham game will weirdly be a bigger test than today.
Why the feck are their so many Spurs fans in here? Haven’t they got a forum of their own?
For those gloating, your club will never ever win the title. Ever. Even if Liverpool, City & Chelsea are all shit this season, Everton will win it over you, just like Leicester. You will never ever ever win the premier league. Ever ever ever.

So much salty tears.
Special shout out to Hojbjerg who completely dominated your midfield today. Superb performance from him.
First thing I do after a win is log onto a Tottenham Hotspur forum. Oh wait, I have never ever done that.
Meh, whatever. Enjoy the win. You’ll finish 5th.
Going well in here is see.
I see the Spurs fans are creaming themselves over their win against this dismantled shite United side and you should be very happy because you know exactly what will happen as time goes by. It will be hilarious once the Jose meltdown begins and Glaston will go to singapore eating nasi goreng for another 6 months.
Son and Kane are phenomenal players though, I'll give you that.

What midfield?
They may actually get CL football. Don't think they will get top 4, but they could win the Europa league.
Where in the rules does it say this?
From my understanding red cards tackles are for
deliberate fouls that prevent a clear obvious goalscoring opportunity.
or
fouls that are dangerous/excessive force
Tactical fouls to break up an attack are always a standard yellow.
Some might argue it was a bit forceful for a tactical foul but you'd very rarely see a red card for that.
If Mourinho conforms to previous patterning, Spurs will win something this year and then everyone gets thrown under the bus next year.
This. We make nobodies look like world beaters.
It was a red because it was potentially a dangerous challenge that could have done injury to the player.
--------------------- Lloris
Doherty - Alderweireld - Dier - Reguillon
----- Ndombele- Hojberg - Lo Celso
------------- Bale - Kane - Son
That's an excellent starting XI: very mobile midfield with plenty of steel and creativity, good wingbacks, top 4 GK, and an attack with the potential to score a hatful of goals on a regular basis.
Maybe Sanchez instead of Alderweireld in games when we need a bit more pace at the back.

Oh of course Glaston is back
Can this day get any worse?
Ndombele situation is the probably the one that I think a lot about when it comes to this Mourinho experience with Spurs. They had big problems last season and Ndombele was about to leave. Enter Levy. Several reports said he arranged several meetings between both to solve the issue and get them both on the line. Now Ndombele looks like a different player, he's playing regularly and starting matches.
Maybe Levy isn't the best chairman, but he has done a fantastic job at handling Mourinho and the team this last year. He managed a fantastic window with barely any funds, and solved Ndombele. He's nit expert in football and sure has problems but compare him to our Ed fecking Woodward for example.

They should be at the stage of trying to win one game at a time and we how they stand compare to the champion. If they're in title challenge position on new year, knowing Mourinho he would push for it.
Mere top 4 last match day achievement would be a let down mentality.

We United fans can continue to be bitter about Jose but truth is he is doing a good job especially this season. 2nd season is always special for him and at spurs expectations would not be to win the league so a top 4 and a trophy would be amazing for them.
It's like with a debate. You need a good moderator, or you have a neverending argument between 2 sides.
With us, looks like Ed instead of being moderator, he acted as judge. One moment he kicked player off siding with manager. Next he decided to keep the players and forced manager to deal with it. We always look like doing thing contradictory to what manager says about his plan in public.
With Tottenham thus far, even the worst case, it's more in line with players, managers, even Levy side when coming out to public about their direction.

Some of us are no different than ever.
For example, I haven't "given it large", and here you are, being a passive aggressive troll as per normal. I say passive aggressive, a lot of it isn't really even that - it's downright winding people up and being confrontational on purpose.
You'll wind people up and complain about their reaction
Still hard to get a good read on what kind of season they'll have. Sticking 11 past Southampton and us isn't a big deal right now to be honest, we are two clubs in complete disarray at the moment. They were very poor against Everton and Newcastle.
If we fired Mourinho six months earlier i dont think anyone would argue he did a good job for us. We left it too long and let it get too toxic. We did it to ourselves really.
