he needs to mature and starting pick and choose his challenges, cut out naively diving in all the time. Or he'll stall as he just wont be reliable enough.

Lauded by many Spurs fans as the next big player to break into our team, I don't see it. He was careless and naive flying into that tackle.

Previous games, he has been very sloppy, taken too many chances, given away penalties. Yes he's young and needs to learn but there's been one too many mistakes.

Vlad Chiriches MK II.

Foyth hasn't proven to us one way or the other what kind of player he will become. He certainly is capable but his mentality is not up to par. It appears that he still underestimates the speed at which the game is being played at. That in turn leads him to think players are farther away than they are or that he tackles but is a quarter second too late. The jury is still out but he hasn't proven himself to be trustworthy at this stage yet.

Bournemouth were dreadful today which just ads to my feeling of irritation.

I think he needs to be shipped out. Disgraceful performance in a must win game. Can’t rely on him.

Undecided on him. He clearly has loads of natural ability but hard to tell if he will end up being a superstar or another Chiriches

No point in having ability if there’s nothing between your ears, this boy makes a hugely rash mistake every time he plays and today it served to make a difficult task almost impossible.

I want him gone.

Son (now that I’ve calmed down) has banked enough goodwill to be forgiven his stupid moment. Foyth, I have no faith in.

Daft from Foyth. I think he tried to pull out of it and didn't catch the other player but they were milking the fuck out everything after the Dier incidents. Bit knee jerk to be saying 'I want him gone' though.

Some of you think he genuinely went in with that much intent? Get rid of him?

No wonder we get laughed at, fucking parody of our own club.

Why? How many times has he got to fuck up before we call it a night?

Another learning curve, just a shitty game for him to decide to learn in. He's a 21 year old who's been given a lot of responsibility but lacks experience.

Much like the two pen's against Wolves, he'll learn from it and won't make the same mistake again. It just sucks that we got away with it then but didn't today.

I still have a lot of faith in him, and Poch will too.

Poch put his faith in him, and he fucked up royally.
Can't believe some on here actually defending what he did todsy
I never slag off players who have a bad game, but what he did today is inexcusable
I will be very surprised if Poch can trust him again especially if we don't secure top4

I agree but not because he fucked up today but just his general defensive ability

Yeah he is decent with the ball but just dont get the hype about him being a top quality centre back - admittedly he is still fairly young.

Not knee jerk, it’s been brewing for a while. I sincerely hope to be proven wrong but for all his technique, which he even displayed in the build up to the sending off, he has a similar rashness and lack of temperament to a young Kaboul, and can’t even make up for it physically as he has all the physique of Chris Perry.

He gets away with a fair amount of lapses in concentration with regards to his role in our system of marking IMO, that challenge was completely stupid though, especially in that area of the pitch...far from his first poor decision either (3 penalties etc.).

Too early to write him off by any stretch.

Still not and will never be a fucking right back either.

I was going to try to be a parody poster on here for a few days but y’all overtaken me. Like when Trump overtook house of cards.

Let’s just sell everyone and start again with the best 20 players on YouTube.
