    NUFC Transfer Rumours

    Useless is strong, but I remember a lot of our fans back then being far from thrilled with his signing before a ball was even kicked.
  2. Saying Forest are riding their luck at times is a bit Captain Obvious. But for the most part, they've been really compact and solid this season and difficult to play against, which can push a team up the league very quickly if they also carry a bit good fortune to go with it. From what I've seen of them, they generally limit good chances for the opposition and are clinical with their own chances. With how inconsistent the rest of the league is this season, that could be more than enough to put them in the top 5 or 6 by the end of it.
  3. Aye, for me a goal should never be disallowed for that unless it can be reasonably determined as a deliberate act. The whole phase of play leading to the goal was extremely poor by Spurs, and it's been overlooked due to a decision that isn't even controversial under the rules.
  4. He's been very steady but most importantly, as others have said, his footwork and distribution have made a big difference. Even with Pope fit, he's made himself first choice at the moment for me.

    Never a second yellow for me, he's pulling his arms in
  6. Great result, although we made very hard work of it in the second half. Hopefully Palace and Wolves can do us a couple of favours this weekend.
  7. Don't really understand the lack of changes considering we have options on the bench, we look extremely leggy. You'd think we'd have learnt from last season.
  8. I don't think that's a penalty tbh, he got a slight touch on the ball then it's a coming together
  9. Can we try something different from these corners? Clearly not working.
  10. Not really Schar's forte either though. The fullbacks and Tonali/Joelinton will hopefully add enough pace and play intelligently enough to make up for it.
  11. Would be more confident with Tino up against Son, assuming Son starts from the left.
  12. Their fans seems very negative about the game, but I don't know... This is the kind of game where Spurs can suddenly look like an elite team. They've done it time and time again in big matches. I have no idea what kind of game to expect tbh.
  13. One thing I noticed last night was that he seemed a lot more vocal than I've seen previously. He was dishing out a few words to Joelinton and Bruno for either not pressing in sync with him or not being where he wanted them to be. I think as he grows in the team he'll become a real leader for us in the middle.
  14. Nah, he can't have, Italians can't adapt in this league. It's a well known fact.
  15. Transformative player. Imagine how good he'd be if he wasn't Italian and was actually suited to the English game.
  16. He's mint, but for my blood pressure we desperately need to stop putting him one on one with the keeper.
  17. That first half performance was as far ahead in quality as I've seen us against these, and that includes the famous 5-0. Amorim's setup was absolutely abysmal, I can't imagine how anyone could study us and think that midfield was suitable. Arguably one of the worst managerial decisions I've ever seen from a supposed top class manager, to be honest. Second half was a bit more nervy and I was frustrated that we dropped off. Could've been a different game if they'd scored, but we dug in and made some good last ditch blocks, and rode our luck a little, which I think we deserved overall.
  18. Why have we dropped off man, so frustrating
  19. Schar makes some horrendous decisions at times, for such an experienced defender.
  20. Weird that they're turning on Zirkzee like that, aye he's shite but at least he actually tries unlike some of their players.
  21. We must never give Isak more than 5 seconds to think

    Aye you just expect an assured performance from him at this point. He's come on leaps and bounds even since the opening games of the season. No doubt there'll still be times when he comes up against an elite winger like Salah and struggles, people have to expect that he will have those games. But you can take those learning curves on the chin if he can be this good in the vast majority of games against standard opposition.
  23. One of the best aspects of his game is the way he drops into defense to cover btw. At times today he found himself at centre half covering Schar who'd pushed forward, and in both full back positions at various points. Genuine game intelligence and he has the engine and athleticism to do it seamlessly.
  24. Same although I still think the frustrations and criticism earlier in the season were justified. He seems to have solved the problems, that's the main thing the main thing now is finding consistency until the end of the season

    The shot he hit the bar with was an absolute stinker though, if he'd missed that at 0-0 he'd get absolutely crucified
