Bobby Zamora believes that Ange Postecoglou will let Yves Bissouma know in no uncertain terms that he almost cost the side with his moment of madness against Luton Town on Saturday.
Bissouma, who had booked midway into the first half for stopping a counter-attack, decided to throw himself to the ground just outside the box just before half-time.
The referee was quick to spot that there was no contact and had no choice but to hand a second yellow card to the Mali international.
That complicated matters for Spurs in the second half but they showed plenty of fight to deal with the aerial bombardment from the home side and managed to eke out a 1-0 win despite having to play with a man less for 45 minutes plus stoppage time.
Postecoglou insisted after the game that Bissouma had made a mistake and backed the midfielder to bounce back from the setback (Football.London).

Did Ange have words with Bissouma in private?
However, Zamora believes that the Spurs boss would have had much sterner words with the Mali international in private following his antics on Saturday.
The former Spurs striker told Stadium Astro: “There’s a part of that mentality in terms of what’s happened on the pitch with a player getting sent off and one of those [yellow cards] for diving.
“It’s something that he [Ange Postecoglou] will have to have a strong conversation about and listen I think they’ve got away with it lightly in terms of it.
“They had a couple of chances, they (Luton) didn’t put them away, another team they’d have been punished severely and it could have cost the team three points.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do not think Ange will tell Bissouma off for that as it was just a poor decision in the moment that the midfielder himself will be regretting. I am sure that the 27-year-old will learn from this mistake.
