The Telegraph says Spurs were using Tripps as a training cone and he needs a rest from football for a week or two. I think the training cone jibe is over the top, but he certainly looks like a short break would do him goodQuote:

I played right back for a good few years and I thought Son was unplayable yesterday. Trippier had run out of gas. $hit happens, he gave Son about ONE foot in width to the by-line to go past him and Son did.Quote:

It would have helped Trippier out if Eddie had doubled up on Son but that does not seem to be his way. :blue:
Physical Luton is a slight understatement, BT. They reminded me of Revie’s Leeds side - foul after foul after foul. Grealish only had to look at the ball and he was felled.Quote:

The Hatters are the new Crazy Gang S_c and I never liked them either! :mad:Quote:
