Just read this....
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino told BT Sport: "[Our chances of qualifying are] nearly over. We'll see what happens now in the game between Barcelona and Inter Milan but with only one point after three games, it will be so difficult.
"If we need to blame someone it's ourselves because with all the situations and the circumstances in the game you must win because I think we were much better than them.
"But the tempo sometimes was so slow and it's a situation where we need to think a little bit because in this type of game, at 2-1 you must kill the game. If not, the opponent is alive.
"The situation with Hugo was maybe unfair but that can happen in football. But if you score more goals you are going to win the game. That is why we are so disappointed, not with the decisions but with ourselves because it's a game you must win."
Can someone please explain to me what was 'unfair' about sending Hugo off ????

So, that's Tim Sherwood's Twitter handle.

the guy is a bit of an icon here. his show was on PBS for years. if you can get past his hair there's something soothing about watching the show. kinda like teletubbies and kids.
1. The player was not going to get to the ball, so it was not a clear goal-scoring opportunity
2. Lloris did not make any movement with his legs, his momentum took him forward, and the player left his leg in, knowing that he wasn't going to get to the ball.
If VAR was involved, we would have won tonight. The ref was atrocious.
Stoners? As in Life of Brian and ISIS?

The player actually touches the ball just before Lloris made contact to try and score and I think you'll find he took out both his legs my friend....sorry but it's a sending off all day for me.
I was trying to explain the reasoning, but my point remains that actually he did not have a clear goal-scoring opportunity and so I'd argue that it should have been a yellow. I think our players were not happy with the officials and with good reason.
Ah, you are talking about psychedelic mind-altering fungi.

I think the sending off was more for the nature of the tackle rather than denying a goal scoring opportunity...Lloris went in with both feet and the lad could have been seriously injured. It was a rash and unnecessary challenge that has ultimately cost us three points....the referee should never had such a decision to make...Hugo should not have rushed out of his area like that.....we will agree to differ
Whether it was a clear goal scoring chance or not doesn't really matter.
The tackle itself was dreadful - it was studs up, nowhere near the ball and at pace.
I agree that he should never have rushed out of the area, but the contact with the player was not with his feet. He needs to stand further out and trust his defenders if he is not going to. He absolutely has cost us three points, as has Alderweireld. Eriksen did make the second goal, but it was also his fault for their second goal. He also should've buried a shot when he was in on goal.I think the sending off was more for the nature of the tackle rather than denying a goal scoring opportunity...Lloris went in with both feet and the lad could have been seriously injured.

There were 2 defenders covering. Never a red card - the tackle was not high or dangerous!

I think he was sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity. (how many matches Lloris is banned will clear up one way or the other)
The fact is he shot (or tried to knock it around Hugo) and was not getting the ball around the other side of Lloris as Toby was getting it.
Watch the video back, you can see Lloris' boot with studs up go in to the PSV player's leg.
