The bedwetters are on their way ?

Well said, some proper moronic comments will come out with this result

This is going to have to be looked at particularly with Tonali out for so long.

Squad is on its arse, players look drained. Bit of a lucky break but they should already be ahead really.

There’s been some absolutely ridiculous guff written about Spurs and title contenders. Yes they’ve played very well but they’ve had an easy start and no injuries up until this point. Maddison always gets injured at some point and if Son picks up a knock they’re royally fucked. I agree let’s see how they manage now with key injuries and if they hit a bad patch.

I think they’ll look to bring in a new RW next summer, e.g Neto type player. I think we also need another top striker with Wilson dropping to a 3rd option. Wilson isn’t durable enough to carry the load of second striker particularly if the other striker gets injured. Barnes will do really well for us though.

The difference this lad will make even coming off the bench when he comes back. Genuine goal threat too.

Isak sounds more likely, Botman doesn’t

That’s a great point. What the other clubs are desperate for is for us to be strung up for breaking rules. If we progress without breaking rules it’ll really fuck them off.

Get through this with a win then a good rest over the break then get the players back for some cracking games. Howay the lads!

Particularly when we’re down to the bare bones and have just come off a ballistic draining game vs Arsenal.

A new striker and a winger like Neto next summer would take us up another level.

It’s certainly looking like that. Thing is Wilson is going to become a big part player more and more. He may well become the 3rd rotating striker option. I’d argue we should potentially be looking at a striker to rotate with Isak if we can get them but getting a player like that in Jan might be difficult. Maybe a wide player who can also play striker in Jan ?‍♂️ and then get another proper striker next summer depending on our targets and availability.

Yeah has an inevitability about it really. Club needs to accelerate that search for a striker.

Was it definitely an injury? I thought they were managing minutes for Bournemouth. We already know Wilson can’t play every game it’s just been highlighted even more now because he’s our ONLY fit striker currently.

Spot on well said. I thought we played pretty well tonight and that’s a tough place to go. You have to take chances like Joelinton’s though if you’re going to get something in a fixture like that. That number of injuries would stretch anyone and we’ve dealt with it admirably up until now. I think these fixtures do also highlight where the next phase of strengthening is needed…..to get us sharper and more ice cold with more options and quality in the final 3rd to take our chances and really finish teams off.

Outrageous player ?

Yeah calm down ffs lol

That is where the side needs to develop next, players to kills games off and win tight tricky big games.

I think we’ve played pretty well but Joelinton has to score that chance. We have too many attacking players out and injuries in general to really hurt them.

No late December at the earliest

Quite enjoyed listening to Gary Neville’s post match review. I think he’s spot on about Arsenal that their lack of a proper number 9 is hurting them. On us I think he makes a great point that we can become a really really top side by adding that extra quality in final 3rd to win more games against the top sides. That progression going from a really good side to the next level (Neto type winger plus another striker type scenario)

Yeah there’ll be some really jiggly, bad blooded games both home and away.

?

Actually going to this, back in the Gallowgate should be a great match. Tough but they won’t be looking forward to come here after losing last night even if it was with a second team.
