Was solid, calm and collected for the most part.

The save towards the end was unlucky not to be a match winning save.

Was good tonight. Not at fault for either goals and pulled of some top saves. Well played
Thought he should have come for the ball and helped out Davies just before the free kick for the first goal. Didn’t get anywhere near the header when other keepers might have done

Their 2nd goal wasn’t right inside the post or corner, yet got nowhere near it

Made a great save and also a good save

I cant believe he didn't mark the 4 Roma players at the back post, whilst defending the front post. Shocking

Are you seriously saying he should've done better with their equaliser that flashed across goal to 3 Roma players standing on their own?

Last night just confirmed my thoughts about him.

- Any shots where it’s pure reaction saves with his hands or feet while on the spot, he’s still very very good.
- His kicking and passing won’t be too much of an issue. He’ll keep it simple.
- Any save where he has to move his feet quickly and he’s in trouble. Shots where he has to get full extension in a dive will be a big Achilles heel for him.
- He’s prone to the odd dropped take from corners etc, but I can’t see him being bullied by a defender blocking him off.

It is what it is, he has December to prove he’s up to the task really.

The point where he should've been off his line to help out Davies in the attack that eventually led to the free kick for the first goal is valid, I thought he could've run out picked that up no problem, but that is the only time I felt he made a mistake yesterday. And if Dragusin hadn't been a complete tit it wouldn't have mattered.

There is no way on this earth you can blame him for the second goal when they have three unmarked at the back stick.

I like watching Spurs winning matches but I also like entertaining matches. You’re not guaranteed to get both but let’s face it, with this goalkeeper and the two centre backs plus the midfield shield they have, it’s going to be exciting. Then again even with our first choice picks it’s usually like this!
As always let’s get behind the players on the pitch and try to enjoy it.
Forster is limited but he certainly has his moments and he’s the best we have at the moment.

The last point I'd say is more lack of match prep tbh, not concerned about it.

Slightly slower on the big wide saves yep, but the rest absolutely fine, more than fine tbh.
