Match Threads Spurs Vs Nottingham Forest

[RJR1949]

When the Forest fans chanted Champions of Europe! You’ll never sing that”.

Someone sitting behind me shouted Five sold out Beyoncé concerts! You’ll never sing that.

Sums up the Levy reign really.

Do you feel it was a fluid, attacking, high tempo game? It was pedestrian pace against a team there for the beating

Fluid...yes, attacking...yes...high tempo...no. I thought it was a good performance against a poor side, but still a good performance in which we played on the front foot pretty much the whole game. I find it odd that you thought it wasn't great.

The same problems persist because the same formation and tactics persist. Obviously pleased with the win, but we won’t play many teams that bad and it all felt rather hollow after the Sheffield Utd and Milan losses. Too little, too late.

Maybe my 20 years as a season ticket holder and 600+ games I’ve attended give me an expectation of what a good performance looks like where I can look past a score line

We look good as an attacking side. Makes me wonder two things:

1. where we’d be if we had a coach who let us play in first halves all season like we did yesterday.
2. where we’d be if we were allowed to be an attacking side.

As most people on here know, Ive had a (Platinum) season ticket 34 years, follow us home and away and have seen us over 1000+ times. What that has given me is perspective, rather than an entitled expectation. Moreover, its enabled me look past a caustic, bitter, puerile dislike of a manager/player and give credit where it is due.

But I understand every fan chooses how they wish to support the club and not everyone will do it in a way I consider positive.

Firstly, what an amazing stadium.

Secondly, performance was good, if not spectacular. Atmosphere was pretty flat but that's to be expected after the last week.

Thirdly, Skipp is some player. Absolutely superb performance and has so much more room for growth.

This happened against Chelsea as well. We were on attack, one of theirs went down...ref stops play then gives ball back to them. Infuriating.

This season, MLS has been trialling the "Off-Field Treatment Rule", meaning that players who don't get back on their feet within 15 seconds have to be taken off the field for treatment and are not allowed to rejoin play for 3 minutes. It'll be interesting to see how this impacts player behaviour.

Whether it was a good performance or not I'll leave to other people to argue but what nobody can argue with is that it was a different performance. Our use of wide forward running wingbacks outdid anything we've seen this season and good as Emerson has been recently, and I'm his biggest fan, Pedro Porro highlighted his deficiencies in that role for all to see. We are going to have a decision to make every week now as to whether Emerson defending or Porro attacking are what we need. Also have to praise Davies on the other side who, sad to say, offered more than Perisic lately.

As good as a performance we have seen lately against the worst away team in the league. The pen goes in and iT becomes a panic with a couple of mins left and not so comfortable

Feel free to look at most my posts. I’ve been strongly behind Conte up until last couple of weeks capitulation and I still don’t blame him for most of our issues. Anyway, agree to disagree

Well I can't recall whom, but I did read at least a couple of you were taking children/grandchildren to their first game yesterday.

Hope you all enjoyed the experience and created a great memory.

Absolutely did thank you! It was a very different experience to the one I feared…I was concerned it might be a flat, dull performance where the crowd started to turn. That early Richy ‘goal’ lifted the mood and it kept rising from there. To see Kane and Son score was a bonus. Excellent day and another child converted to the Spurs family. Thanks for asking!

They certainly did enjoy it, 2 more converts to the Spurs famiy, (3 if you count their Mum).
Seeing Kane score was akin to me seeing Jimmy Greaves score on my first visit.

lol what about the multiple other chances we missed before they score? All ifs and buts

But the penalty didn't go in and we should have been out of sight even further. There wasn't enough time for them to get a third even if it did go in anyways.

Yeah it wasn’t a criticism at all mate. Just saying we view it differently that’s all.

That was the best team we have to play in that formation probably. You can choose between Son or Kulusevski, but Richarlison adds some dynamism that’s been missing. The wingbacks were very good yesterday and I’m already a big Porro fan.

Amazing what happens when our midfield start passing forwards quickly. Skipp was a bit hit and miss accuracy wise, but at last we gave an opposing defence something to think about. Instead of allowing them to all shuffle back into position while we fanny about inside our own half, we had balls going in behind, into channels and willing runners. Porro and Davies also made some great forward runs and we actually got the ball to them rather than play safe. Shame it’s all a bit too late.

Plus the couple of good saves foster made.... We could have lost 3-4!

Fuck sake spurs, how did we lose this game in the end, must be a first to lose it after the final whistle has gone, ruined the rest of my weekend now.
