    With a third of the season gone, and just nine points between the relegation zone and the Champions League spots, we have a humdinging a Premier League campaign in prospect.

    Just as long as you ignore pesky Chelsea, seven points out in front, that is.

    See you all later.

    Gaston Ramirez was making his first start of the season for Hull.

    A red card 50 minutes in means he will have to wait a while for his second.

    It may be all a little academic, but I thought the Uruguayan looked bright before his early bath.

    Hull manager Steve Bruce on BBC: "For me the Premier League is the spectacle it is because of the honesty and ferociousness of it. It was petulant by Ramirez but it is not violent conduct. Vertonghen goes down as if he has been pole-axed.

    "Vertonghen's actions are there for everyone to see but does he have to go over like that? I would be really disappointed if I was going to do something like that. The linesman 10 yards away and there is a difference between a flick and violent conduct.

    "It spoils the game, we have lost the game on a decision.

    "We were more like ourselves, we were excellent in the first half,. The whole game changed the moment the guy got sent off."

  9. What's next for Reds?published at 18:33 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2014

    Liverpool's fixture list could go one of two ways for Brendan Rodgers.

    It could be an ideal run of games against weaker opposition for his side to recover confidence. Or, lose most of them and it could be a one-way street to full-blown crisis.

    They play Ludogorets away in the Champions League on Wednesday, Stoke at home on Saturday, Leicester away on 2 December and Sunderland at home on 6 December.

    "It's just not happening for Liverpool; they are not scoring goals and letting too many in it's as simple as that, Teams were scared to death of Liverpool last season and it was all built on that attacking play. But they've had the heart of their side ripped out. They are bottom half of the league, but that's where they should be based on the way they've played. People no longer fear Liverpool, they have a lack of confidence and they are still a scalp. It's the worst of all the worlds for Brendan Rodgers."

    On board is a downcast Liverpool coach.

    Brendan Rodgers has not been shy in pointing out his own and his side's shortcomings.

    This is the little list in the centre of the story on the BBC Sport website:

    • His players' passing is too tentative

    • There is not enough intensity and togetherness

    • Confidence is low and the team is conceding poor goals

    • They are not aggressive and not playing as a team.

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BBC Sport: "It was very important this victory because it is important to stay in our position. an important win for the supporters and the club. The second half at the beginning, we showed we were a better team, than the first half. Never easy to play against 10 players but in the end we deserved the victory.

    "Hull scored early and it was difficult to manage. They tried to pressure us but in the second half we showed a lot of personality and character and we need to keep that in the next few games."

    Kevin in Hornchurch: How poor is the Premier League this season apart from Chelsea? Spurs are so poor, like most around them. All the money makes for good watch but the quality is lacking. You could end up with any three out of Top 10 for Champions League places.

    Chris in Norwich: Is Spurs' only tactic this season to provoke the opposition down to 10 men?

    Maggie in Suffolk: Once again a sending off has saved spurs. I don't know how we have won this game, but we will take it. They make my nerves bad every time they play these days!

    Mac in Sheffield: If Daniel Levy had been told at the start of the season that he would be on equal points with Arsenal and Everton, then he would've been very happy. Strange places for all the supposed 'big' teams.

    Tottenham goalscorer Christian Eriksen: "In the first half we started slow then we were quicker. With the 10 men it helped us and gave us space. I'm going to sleep pretty well tonight [after scoring]. It's nice to see those teams expected to be in top four lose this weekend and us get the points. A few wins and we'll be up there again."
