"You've lost that loving feeling" etc.
Long old walk, be hardly worth them going in at half time.
No Coco
I'm glad Son is with the squad. Not that I doubted he would be, but having your mates around you at difficult and stressful times really makes all the difference, imo.
Be interesting to see how it affects him.
Hope he can put it behind him..
He better toughens up a bit, we have got more important things to focus on this week.
Based on those travelling, I think we'll see:
- Son's head might not be right, can see him being benched for this
- Assuming Eriksen doesn't start and there being no Lamela, I think Lo Celso, Lucas and Dele feature
- Sissoko played the full 112 mins on the weekend so I could see the fresher Winks and Ndombele being brought in

should get Graham Roberts in to have a chat with him
I expect you want Spurs Black players involved so your lot can give them as much racist abuse as possible. do one wanker
Good trick would have been to hand Eriksen a parachute and tell him to "Wait for the green light". That might have woken him up a bit
Sunday night, Monday would have been tough for him. He just seems the kind of person that would take everything to heart. Everton's statement yesterday saying Gomes operation had been done, was a success and should make a full recovery should very much sort his head out.
The only sport I can relate to such a situation seriously affecting a person in is boxing. It's a thin line between going out there and deliberately trying to knock somebody out and actually causing them serious brain damage. Should the boxer responsible continue to fight there surely has to be that nano second of delay before he throws another 'knockout' blow.
I think the sooner Son is allowed to visit Gomes in hospital and they discuss the matter amicably, with an apology from Son and it being (hopefully) gracefully accepted by Gomes, the sooner both can draw a line under the incident and move on.
I think Boxing is a different kettle of fish. It must be very difficult to come to terms with the fact that you’ve beaten a man to death. Then again, I think they all accept it. It’s part of the rules. I mean, look at F1. All the drivers might be three foot high, but they’ve got serious stones to go out there every race considering the potential consequences.
Yes, Son would have been upset, but I really wouldn’t expect him to be affected. I’d imagine the Everton players would be more upset as they get reminded of it everyday.
I agree. I think the actual shock of looking at the injury and realising just how bad it was had an immediate and profound effect on the lad and he was obviously quite distraught on the pitch. Being consoled by both Spurs and Everton players afterwards would have helped to ease the burden of responsibility. As a professional footballer he has to accept it happened and move on.
Personally I would play him Wednesday for two reasons. The first, as someone else posted on here earlier, is he needs to get back on the horse as quickly as possible and the second is the sooner he faces possible jibes and taunts from the opposition fans then the sooner he will learn to deal with them.
