More like concentrating on his weak kicking they forget that there's other stuff he's not very good at either, like catching or timing a ball, or moving his body in general really without looking like he's on the brink of keeling over. How many of those clean sheets of ours were the result of Popes goalkeeping rather than the collective defending of the team? Ramsdale would have had a clean sheet yesterday if weren't for Ramseys handball, but the clean sheet wouldn't have been thanks to Ramsdale's great goalkeeping, same as most of our clean sheets aren't thanks to Pope.

Very predictable that Pope gets better and better according to some on here for every game he doesn't play, as if he didn't have any shady moments that didn't involve his kicking.

Easily Barnes for me. It's his place to lose.

Christ. Thank god that's over. Awful performance. I'll appreciate the 3 points later today.

Whole half has gone past on cruise control.

Golden opportunity to pad our GD this instead of focusing on conserving energy.

Wow, what a pass from Gordon.

Holy shit. Gordon passing to an overlapping fullback. We definitely have turned a corner now.

Livramento has been shocking so far. Goes to show how important athleticism is in this league that despite being awful, he's been able to contribute on the few offensive situations we've created simply by being quick and able to get up and down the field.

Jesus christ we're looking lethargic Looking at it positively, it can't get any worse from here onwards.

Not ideal, but not a big miss as long as we're talking 2-3 weeks. Burn is the first name on the team sheet for the derby for me anyway.

1 goal, 0 assists in 11 appearances. Cunha absolutely class indeed.

I agree, but the club/decision makers clearly sees PL experience as a way to mitigate risk of buying a player incapable of adapting to the league and the way we play, and are willing to pay for it.

Hopefully that performance will kick him into gear for the remainder of the season. I'd start Gordon against Burnley so Barnes can get a little breather ahead of an important game against Leverkusen.

There's less risk of PL players needing time to adjust to our team, but there will always be a risk associated with new players regardless of their experience. We paid extra to reduce that risk, it didn't pay off. We just need to hope he can become an important player for us even if he doesn't justify the premium we paid.

Hey, you weren't supposed to crack the cleverly hidden message so easily. Did you cheat and use chatgpt?

Don't think clumsy Nick Suezmax Pope the sloppy saves either of the goals today, but I'm sure his devoted believers will say he would. We're 10x better in possession with Ramsdale in the team. Thank god Pope is injured so Howe is forced to continue playing him.

We were. Spurs were the better team from the 71st minute to 78th and 86th to 95th. They would have been the better team from any minute of the game we went up, so when we scored and how many chances we had or how many good situations we created doesn't really matter since they wouldn't have happened if we were in the lead.

What annoyed me badly for their first is we clear the ball from their set piece. Literally only Woltemade is attempting to push the team higher up the pitch. Rest of the team is just waiting for Tottenham to build again with majority of their team still up. Kudus can beat anyone in the world 1v1. Can't blame Hall for losing the occasional duel with him. We could however have prevented the whole situation all together if we just weren't so fucking defensive minded when we're in the lead. Push up, force Tottenham deeper. We have pace in the defence to recover if they try playing someone through.

Another 3pts wasted because we're dead set on sitting back, soak pressure and rely on counters after we score. We simply have to play braver. That being said, I thought we played great as long as we were even with Spurs. Just continue playing like we're drawing after we go a goal up instead of this negative Nancy boring ineffective bullshit we've been trying to do the whole season.

omg heart is pumping. gtfi Gordon!

Soft af pen if given, but give me a Woltemade top bins and a jammy win today.
