I wonder would we get away with shaving Sarrs head and saying he is Mateta and buy Mateta a wig and tell him to be a miserable b****** and don't smile and put him on as Sarr would we get away with it . 😏🤔

If he does impressions could he do Mbappe instead?

I've just re-watched a Youtube clip at normal speed, both the defenders are in his peripheral vision. He lunged and caught his achilles tendon with his studs, which I assume is why the ref gave a red.

I can't find it now but there was an angle from behind the Tottenham goal where you could see that he didn't know Van Der Ven was there when he took off.

He was trying to knock the ball out to the right where i think mingueza was running to. He also slightly bends his knee to retract his foot and soften the blow as he realises van der ven was there.

although i understand why they gave a red i do also think three game ban is excessive.

Reminds me of the story, often mistakenly attributed to Clougie, when John McGlashan of Patrick Thistle was injured and the physio said “he’s got concussion boss. He doesn’t know who he is!” The manager John Lambie said “tell him he’s Pele and get him back on”

Glenn Hoddle made the point that games are played in real time, not slow motion. By reviewing the incident in slow motion it totally distorts what happened in real time. I thought the booking was a bit harsh but in slow motion it looks like an assault.
