Harsh comments on Doucoure here.

Any anger should be directed toward that utter snide Kane who provoked it all then dived like the turd he is.

Have to disagree Dave. If Abdoulaye Doucoure doesn't hit out, Harry Kane has nothing to react to and no red card is shown. Doucoure has been in the game long enough to know not to get drawn into such situations. It's not the first time I've seen him getting involved or overreacting to stuff during a game. He needs to grow up, he's not a child playing footy in the schoolyard.

I don't blame Harry Kane for going to ground, he did exactly what you'd expect a player to do in that situation. I remember Kevin Ratcliffe getting Vinny Jones sent off by going to ground clutching his face and claiming Jones had head-butted him, replays showed he clearly hadn't. Richarlison would often hit the deck all too easily when he played for us. Now we have Onana who seems to enjoy an exaggerated roll on the grass... oh ffs, I've forgotten what my point was now.
 
Completely done over by Kane there. As snide as it is from Kane, Doucoure needs to be smarter. Shame though as he was our best player up until that point.
 
Gana: 34 in September
Garner: Lets see what he can do
Onana: Class
Davies: Out of contract
Doucoure: Done well recently

Fact is that we have to trigger Doucoure's extension if only to use transfer fees on attacking players. We'd also be wise to bring in another midfielder as the numbers and ageing Gana are a concern.
 
Kane didn't just dive and fake an injury, but grabbed Doucoure's shirt and cause the facial contact. It's obvious from how distorted Doucoure's shirt is, and you see he has a fist full under his elbow the whole way. It was well acted, but a cheat through and through.

It was going to be a red, whether he actually meant to hit Kane or not. I don’t believe that a head shot was intended. If he did mean to hit him in the face, he should have whacked him good. Give Kane a reason not to be such a poor actor; make it real.
Red card either way.

I actually agree. Don’t think we will be able to bring in anyone better anyways so go with somebody that fits the system well for the time being. He was great today until that card and it isn’t like that is the usual from him. But gods it was stupid

No Dave, Doucoure is a professional footballer and got himself sent off for a ridiculous offence right under the referee and fourth officials noses. It's bad enough to be sent off for such a stupid offence, but really, a push in the face? If he was that annoyed with Kane, why didn't he at least give him a proper punch? he'd have still been sent off but at least the unlovable Kane would have had something to roll on the ground about.
 
In today’s game what Doucoure did was always going to be a red card, lift your hands to a player’s face get’s you a red card 9 times out of 10. Lift your hands to the England captains face and you definitely walk. It was pure stupidity given the circumstances we are in but given the position we are in I want players fired up and fighting to win. That said Kane‘s behaviour was very poor, if you are battling for Europe against a relegation threatened team and you have to lie down to get an opponent sent off it speaks volumes about you and your sportsmanship. Just because people can draw comparisons with what other players have done in the past doesn’t make what he did correct.
