Romero, VDV and Bentancur made a difference 2nd half, liking Bergvall, like to see him fill in for Maddison or replace

Positives in 2nd half...

Gray - looks a real find. Very composed on ball, good passer, technician. Good engine.

Bergvall - very strong, won a lot of ball for us, technically very good. Good weight of pass.

Bentancur - looked strong and sharp, didn't give away. Very assured. Hopefully a big season from him this year. I trust him far more than bissouma in there.

Romero, Micky and udogie - all played to their strengths. Udogie looked very sharp - really need proper cover for him.

Negatives

Johnson - I honestly can't remember him touching the ball.

Werner - looks like he'll give it away at every chance. Very predictable. Run down line and cross.

Spence - playing at left back and massively exposed, positional awareness was quite poor at back post. Looked ok going forward.


Davies - how long do we have to put up with him ? Not good enough in any position.

Son - one of those games from him again, poor first touch, almost looked dstracted. Was found early in good positions but didn't deliver.

Davies is not a Cb worrying he’s gonna be 4th choice

Johnson is anonymous

The 6 never covers the defence

Maddison is poor

Not watching though tbf

Decent assessment

Son doesn't seem to have the legs anymore, a few years ago he would have raced away and scored with a couple of those chances

I thought we looked alright apart from the set pieces

In the content of playing three games a week, the two sides we played could be similar if Ange wanted to make changes between a Thurs and Sunday.

The plus - the mid in the 2nd half looked better but also having Romero, Micky and Udogie back made a telling difference.

There is a still a lack of depth on the left hand side of defence.

Between both sides we can put out a decent 11 with Solanke to come in too.

Disappointed not to see Donley or Devine come on.

What do you mean disappointed?

Stay humble

I'm over it already Strike 🙂

Good to see Kulu on the scoresheet again. Seems to be a good option for the 9 going into the season Z z z.

Evening All.

Good afternoon

Very excited for our season to start.

Not convinced by Leicester who have lost their manager, I have no idea why their current guy is rated so highly, he spent a lot at Forest and barely kept them up, now he has had nothing to spend lost a couple key players who got them up, has injuries.

I just see their confidence as very fragile and he'll set them up deep and look to counter so expect us to control and dominate

I will be happy with any win, delighted if it includes a clean sheet but will be slightly disappointed if it is not a comfortable win. Teams likes this should not be causing us too many issues.

Morning all

That plus go and read the Leicester comments on this site - they are a state.

We should be winning this fairly comfortably.

I’m saying 3-1 Spurs with them scoring a header from a corner/freekick

Could and probably should batter them by enough to put us top of the league!

So I'm expecting a nervy 1-0.

I'm expecting a nervy 7-0 win to Spurs, with us not making sure of it with the 7th goal until injury time.

And even then in that final 45 seconds you will be thinking - I’d settle for a draw

What's that? We could go top of the league tonight?

Come on then.

I'll take a one nil to tamper expectations.

Tottenham HumbleSpurs

Any win will do

Be great if Solanke gets a debut goal…..rather than waiting for it and the pressure building on him
