Match Threads Nottingham Forest vs Spurs

[theShiznit]

For real?

That's been the case since year dot

Didn't even need to touch it

 

[Pochemon94]

That was far and away our worst performance of the year.

I think Forrest has shown the way on how to beat us.

Kick the living daylights out of us until the ref reacts and actually does something because they won't. Refs are too scared now to make a decision or give two yellow cards and will just let matches go completely unregulated for stretches to get themselves over the line.

In other news, Kulu since getting the mask has been insane. Long may it continue, onto Everton, going to be a super tricky match.

Not every win is going to be like Newcastle. Sometimes, especially away, you have to grind out wins. A win and a clean sheet. Job done.

Take the win wouldn't take more injuries and suspensions! Everton away next is far from ideal with a makeshift midfield/defence.

Bissouma my god that was as brainless as it gets Ange's expression says the riot act is ready. Also no Udogie need to cut out these daft errors as will be continually scrambling to reach the upper echelons. Kulu superb tonight and can tell he's loving his football again. Now sit back and hopefully watch the others above us hopefully struggle COYS!!

So Everton we're missing Madders, Bentancur, VdV, Biss, Udogie, Johnson, Solomon, Perisic and possibly GLC.

I doubt Johnson will miss the game?

You have to laugh just in order to not start crying.

 

[Gbspurs]

Any news on how long Gio is out?

As with Bissouma now out for three? games were struggling for bodies in there.

When is the AFCON? Might not see Bissouma for a while

Did you not see the game at Wolves.

It’s what chelsea did too and the red gave us no o protection, same as wolves,

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Just saw the stats. Skipp was on from 32 minutes and had 25 touches whereas Hojbjerg was on from 72 minutes and had 20 touches.

I just can't tell if he didn't pick up decent positions or if his teammates didn't find him

He was playing no10 I think and in no world is he a no10. So out of his depth.

 

[cjsimba]

Sarr is only one yellow away from a suspension too. Just hope he gets it the game before he jets off to AFCON or our midfield is going to be even weaker!!

 

[wspur]

This reminded me of Conte. Don't ever want to go back to narrow wins with awful football again

Agree, but we’re at home so that helps

 

[Marty]

Yeah if it's a four game ban he'll miss Everton, Brighton, Bournemouth and Burnley and be straight off to AFCON after that. Depending on how far Mali get we might not see him before mid February

 

[adamsky]

Not sure if we used a concussion sub. If we did isn't there a protocol where he can't play for 9 or 10 days if used?

That would be a stupid rule. The idea is to encourage teams not to take risks, if using the sub means automatic 10 days off then clubs will be reluctant to use it.

Surely the sensible rule would be to be properly assessed in good time and if they determine he was concussed then apply the 10 days.

Wasn't even a foul TBF

 

[Dr Know]

Kulu amazing
Ben Davies god
Skipp pointless
Bissouma retarded
Everyone else good effort and a good win

I think Vic deserves more than a “good effort” mention

 

[Trix]

We won 2-0 I hope you all take that into account. Disappointment with Bissouma being sent off. Concerned with him and Romero but not the rest of them.

Don't think it was that great of a showing on the whole. Some good individual performances, Kulu, Davies, Vic, Romero, etc but I think we were a bit panicky at times and I think sometimes we try and play too quickly and it costs, because there's no composure. Good result though and we move on to the next one.

 

[worcestersauce]

Does the fact that he’s away for African cup of nations impact his suspension? Or is he suspended for games he’d have missed anyway by being away?

Surely he misses games and what he does while he's out is irrelevant. The Premier league or FA make no concessions for that competition so they can't recognise it in this instance.
Pretty sure Romero played for Argentina when he was banned.

 

[adamsky]

4 game suspension for Bissouma … he’ll be back just in time for the African cup of nations…

Isn’t it 3 games? His first red was for two bookable offences, not violent conduct
