absolute disasterclass from Taylor and VAR here. Basically given the game to Forest.

Elanga def went right through the back of Willock there. I don’t get the officiating at all.

ah Sean, that’s when you’re supposed to fall over crying man

he’s been bad when he’s popped up on the left today too. Looks half asleep.

Gordon has been frustrating

If they are going to let us have this much possession then yeah, I think we need Barnes and Tonali on as soon as we can.

really clear goal kick as well. Officials are so fucking bad man

Tino’s crossing really needs a lot of work

good counter attacking team. Hopefully they try to attack us.

this is total entertainment from spurs. It's like a 90 minute long car crash.

proper weird bootlicker attitudes on display here where people think everyone should be beholden to their employers and not be able to enjoy or express themselves outside of that.

if someone was going to spend that kind of money on him they’d have done it last summer when he was a year younger

there are things that stand out in Longstaff's game imo. His running power is much better than the average PL player, and his ability to make recovery runs and get back behind the ball is very good and is missed when he's not in the team. He is also really good at making runs beyond the opposition defence at the right time. Basically his understanding of what Howe wants him to do is as good as any player in our squad if not better. Tonali clearly has the attributes to at least match these parts of Sean's game imo but it's possibly going to take time to coach it into his game.

nah fuck that, I'd rather we sold players tbh

doesn't seem like the type to me but could be wrong. I kind of don't think he's been given a fair shot at it either yet. Seems to play well one game, bad the next, then gets taken out of the team.

Barnes should still be rotated with Joelinton. Would be insanely dumb to sell him given how short we are on quality forwards. It's good to be able to have options and keep sides guessing how you're going to play.

fucking hell man

given it would cost about £180m you'd bloody hope so mind

Anderson didn’t start because he’d had a knock in training.

2 or 3 billion quid in players to produce a game like that

missed the ball and went in to do him instead. Clear red from a vile player with low ability and height.

wasn't in the squad midweek either iirc. Hamstring issue.

aye, sounds like a funeral in the ground too

him too
