Laughable all the Ange tactics to blame agendas. Tactics were spot on, dominated the game, got the overloads time and again where we wanted them in the half spaces, just finishing and final pass low quality. He can’t stick the ball in the net for them. #THFC

@ToonMouthTyne @England It’s not “shameful”. It’s called selection, and Southgate had loads of selection decisions to make pre and during the tournament. He has every right to be disappointed, but that’s the nature of team sport where selection is subjective.

@WeRTottenhamTV It’s actually nonsense - if all onfield goal/pen decisions stood, Tottenham would have the maximum 24 pts from 8 games as both draws were a result of VAR awarded pens.

Bairstow’s anger was all for show, as was the carry on afterwards. He was just embarrassed at getting out in such a gormless fashion.

@FoxCricket As said at the time, the controversy was manufactured by Stokes and Mccullum to deflect criticism of a schoolboy error, and divert attention from a horrible defeat with Lyon injured with England 180-1 on day 2. And as a tactic, it worked, but that’s all it was.

@theanalyst @stevesmith49 None of that is relevant. The SA players didn’t complain about the ball tampering either. Law 41.12 covers unfair activity by fielders, suggest you read that. He has no business as fielder “marking centre”, he can do that as many times as he likes when it’s his turn to bat.

For Dele to be effective he needs it played early, something Eriksen was good at but only Tanguy/Harry do in the current squad and neither were on the pitch.
