Neco and Elanga causing big problems for them down the right

Apologies to Murillo it was from 81 yards. Imagine if that one had gone in. He also did the same thing against Luton from 75 yards. What audacity.

This game could,d finish 4:4 the way both teams are being opened up at the back

Oh dear. Well, I’m still sticking with my 2-2 prediction

Not sure if that counts as conceding from a set play, but NO keeper is saving that one. Unstoppable.

MGW booked for winning the ball. Incredible

3-1, we are imploding, again.

Ref gifts them possession. MGW won that fair and square

Nuno has now shown he has completely lost the plot, taking off MGW and Wood, and bringing on Origi and Dominguez, no problem with the latter but Origi. ??

MGW has ice on his thigh so probably protecting him from serious injury.

MGW has an ice pack on his leg. and who else to replace Wood especially if Awoniyi is out for the season?

I suppose Origi’s best moment came against Spurs in that final. Ah the memories

I’ll take any goal right now

Thought it was strange to take off MGW, but like you say, protection, and an ice pack.
Sorry i just don’t rate Origi, but would love to be proved wrong.

Danilo clears the ball and gets a yellow. Ridiculous decision.

Origi is proving you right

Danilo did follow through and catch Maddison , yellow was about right.
Yates and Danilo off, both booked, Sangare and Reyna on.

I can't really see what Danilo did wrong. The Spurs player stepped across him after he had already gone to kick the ball and his movement towards Danilo caused the contact.

Great save by Selles g/d is looking very important at the moment.

The difference is Spurs subs have made a difference, where as ours have just maintained the status quo.

Early in the thread there was a suggestion that Sels wasn’t a good goalkeeper, i disagreed initially and now definitely disagree, can’t think of him costing many goals since he joined us.

Nunos subs have been poor. We needed energy and more directness but Origi is a passenger. Nominee why we bring off Wood,. Spurs looked worried when we were attacking.

Can't help but wonder what would,d have happened if Maddison had been sent off for the punch on Yates. Another interesting VAR decision against us

We had a good period of 20-25 minutes at the end of the first half, but after not taking the chances we had, we were punished.
From about 50 minutes onwards we were quite poor, and seemed to run out of ideas and energy.
3-1 was about what i expected, same score as last season, but there aren’t too many positives to take from this. We are out of the drop zone on goal difference, with six games to go, it’s definitely going down to the wire.
Everton should get there latest points decision any day now, but even if it was 5 points, they’d only be one behind us, and we have to go there.

I thought the ref was more inclined to give a yellow to Forest than spurs. Porro on CHO should have been a yellow.

Spurs are easily a top eight team and it showed today. At best we are mid-table. Hopefully we have some signings lined up for the summer who are better than what we have.
