Villas-Boas on Lukaku

[macst]

Villas-Boas added that it was "remarkable" that Lukaku, whose injured his knee during the clash, has not come under more scrutiny for his role in the incident. The Portuguese, who was Chelsea manager when Lukaku joined that club from Anderlecht, claimed the striker could have moved his knee to prevent it hitting Lloris and said he was saddened that Belgian has not made contact with the goalkeeper since Sunday to check on his wellbeing.

"I want to believe that Lukaku's leg was not left late to clash into Hugo's head. I find it remarkable that through all of this amount of publicity that this incident has got nobody has actually dedicated themselves to finding out if he could have avoided the goalkeeper and I am disappointed that Lukaku hasn't contacted Hugo.

"Lukaku is a fantastic footballer and I don't question his integrity or his human side. We had a warm hug on the pitch before the game so I have maximum respect for him and I think he has for me. But amid all this negative excitement I find it surprising that no time was lost to actually study the incident. I don't want to question Lukaku. He's a young player and wonderfully gifted but I think he could have jumped over perfectly."

He had every right to go for that ball.

It was a joke he even got a yellow card.

deflecting the fact that they should have taken lloris off, lloris could have died..not kidding

I find it remarkable that he has seen the replays and come to this conclusion.

He maybe possibly could have jumped but I think Lloris came further than expected and he's a big lad so not as easy to shift your momentum when you realise. He signalled immediately for attention for Lloris also.

AVB is just trying to take the focus away from him leaving on Lloris and also not leaving him out for a couple games.

he knows he/spurs have made a massive mistake, asonishing that that wont take any blame for this AND that they want to play him tonight!

The Spurs Boss went on to say:

''I'm not trying to say that Lukaku is a n0bhead. Just implying it and trying to deflect negative media from us''.

 

[TheFinnFan]

AVB just shut it and take responsibility about your insane actions in that game. Totally irresponsible behaviour from your part.

 

[toffeemax]

it's a contact sport. Lloris collided into him Lukaku is not obliged to move out the way.

 

[neil999]

tbh i reckon lloris tried to take lukaku out of the game by headbutting his knee, thats why lloris got booed

100% this.

Proper snide's trick that.


In any case, Lloris dived into Lukaku. The Loony.
