Big Dave can't even remember the last goal he conceded.

I still can’t understand how Cook wasn’t sent off. It’s a clear red card. They kind of skirted over it on motd. The officials looked like they were scared to send him off or make a decision.

Think we'd of won by 3 or 4 had Harry dispatched the pen.

They'd of thrown caution to the wind and we'd have had ridiculous space to counter in.

Sounds plausible, 1 more goal added to the 2-0 would have been 3-0.

(I know what you mean ?)

In 16-17 we played lovely, possession football under Poch.

I remember watching Chelsea under Conte every week as we tried to chase them down and marvelling at their ability to keep winning. Despite them never looking as 'pretty' as us, they were like a machine and just wouldn't stop getting results.

Personally, I'm absolutely fine with us not playing possession football provided we can get results. And if there's one thing Conte knows how to do, it's win.

As others have said, the whole point of our system is that when we DO create chances they're big ones. If you watch the highlights of Arsenal home vs Fulham compared to us away v Forest we got in far more good shooting and scoring positions, despite not dominating the ball.

It was horrendous. We were playing so well, but I felt they were unstoppable and we just couldn’t catch them. Don’t they hold the record for consecutive wins? I know we have West Ham away next but we haven’t seem to have lost for ages. Hopefully we are building something similar.

We feel very different this year. It's very early doors but this feels like a different animal. We feel like a machine, that finds a way to win each game.

Our possession isn't great, of course, but we are definitely surrendering it to hit teams on the break and but for the front three being rather wasteful, it could have been 5 or 6 yesterday, which is strange because all the stats and the game itself, with the atmosphere & the pundits, suggest that Forest played well and were unlucky. They weren't. They were lucky our forwards were off it.

I lost count of the last second tackles on thier d, times they made professional fouls and their keeoer making saves.

Agree, we really should have been coming away with 4/5 today

Thought Kane was quite off it eventhough he got 2

Son was anonymous again on the ball, he still does ok off it

Totally agree.

We sit back and purposefully cede possession in our organised defensive shape to transition with devastating affect.

Saw one report saying this morning that Forrest just didn't get the breaks and that we did!

What are people actually watching. They had one clear cut chance the whole game. And the header...half a chance.

I mean in terms of clear cut chances and dangerous attacking play we battered them.

But because they pressed us hard and got in our faces and had plenty of the ball...they were unlucky lol.

Nothing to do with the fact that quality just simply prevailed and it should of been 4 or 5.

I like that ?‍ Well done Sky for putting every possible pro-Forest stat up on the screen for us all to gasp at!

I thought we looked particularly sluggish yesterday generally (not including our defence in that observation...) which was very disconcerting especially following our last away match offering much the same, but they always say the best teams get results even when they play badly.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but been doing some thinking and wondering are we scoring more headers now? Seems as though we're putting more crosses in (Perisic's ability to dig out one definitely helps) and reaping the benefits.

We've scored a headed goal in each of the four games (Kane with three).

We have to accept , there is another team on the pitch who want to win and yesterday Forest played very well. Some Individuals in the Forest side played very well and on during the match on occasion came together as a team. The performance was good from us but must improve. Kane is flying with the goals.

I put sluggishness down to a mixture of a) early starts/Sundays b) weather and c) not sluggishness as such but 'waiting' for the counter. Someone mentioned rope a dope somewhere and there is a germ of truth in that I think...

Ah so it IS allowed then Cooper?

 

[Pochie]

Two goals, clean sheet.
I’ll take that ?
