🚨 Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi appears set to push Luka Vušković towards a summer exit as he reshapes his squad ahead of the new season.

With plans to strengthen his defence, De Zerbi is looking to free up space for new arrivals and has identified Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi as key transfer targets.

We can all cherry pick footage to make players look better than they are. I’ve watched this bloke get pulled all over in two derby’s in which every goal came from down his side🤣

[Thomas @thomashammond__]

Thomas Tuchel hasn’t brought this to the World Cup when he easily could have. Self sabotage

Geertruida is just mint isn’t he, not many better fullbacks kicking around for that price. Must sign for me

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

So soft, absolutely weak as piss keeping

[Sky Sports Premier League @SkySportsPL]

The goal is ruled out for a foul on David Raya ❌

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

Our best back four mind, shame it’s probably one of the only times we’ll see it

Ready for Man United! 👊

Blood on RLB’s hands

🔴 Exclusive: Decision made – Geertruida will not stay at Sunderland!

There is now internal clarity. Lutsharel Geertruida, who is on loan at Sunderland from Leipzig, will not remain at Sunderland beyond the summer. The Dutch international set to leave, and Sunderland will not trigger the €23m buying option.

🔙 Geertruida will initially return to Leipzig. However, chances are big that the 25-year-old will not continue with the Bundesliga club either. A permanent solution is being sought.

Initial enquiries have already been made. Geertruida definitely has a market in one of Europe’s top five leagues. Potential interested clubs and offers are being carefully assessed and evaluated. @SkySportDE

Really not sure how they’ve thought that Ballard "clearly pulls the hair of an opponent with force"

[Michael Graham @Capt_Fishpaste]

Just on the 'law' here btw.

Hair pulling itself isn't mentioned in any law of the game. It is a recent PGMOL directive (guidance) to interpret hair pulling as 'brutality' under Law 12 with zero tolerance.

PGMOL guidance specifies that the rule applies when a player "clearly pulls the hair of an opponent with force".

Is that a clear rule? Well, it's a clear INTERPRETATION of a rule. But it also does not consider intent, so is massively open to misfortune, like today, and subsequently prone to over-punishment.

Basically, it's all a bit of a confusing mess - which axiomatically makes it not fit for purpose.

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

One week it’s a red, then it isn’t the next. Such a shit rule, every fucker is going to be kicking about with long hair next season

[Goals Xtra @GoalsXtra]

🚨 DANIEL BALLARD IS SENT OFF!

RLB getting on me nerves now, terrified to go out and try and take the game to teams

[Sunderland AFC @SunderlandAFC]

Have we got a set piece coach? If so, peddle the useless fucker first thing in the morning

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

Luke O’Nien absolutely humming for every single goal they scored today

[Sky Sports Premier League @SkySportsPL]

"BEDLAM, absolute BEDLAM" 😱

Tammy Abraham to the RESCUE for Aston Villa!

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

Probably the worst team to come to the SOL all season, guess that’s the referees fault

[The Spurs Watch @TheSpursWatch]

The referees are trying to send us down.

This isn’t a conspiracy at all, all you have to do is watch the games, it’s clear as day.

[Tom Chapman @TomChapman97]

@swainy997 Niall Quinn that

Sunderland’s new TikTok is brilliant 😂😂😂

[Premier League USA @PLinUSA]

This rivalry belongs to Sunderland right now 🐈‍⬛

An 11-game unbeaten run is the longest by either side in this fixture’s history!
