You were wrong about that.

Can't rag on the guy for (not) missing chances he hasn't had.

Yes and no. Obviously lack of chances is a factor, but that is largely his own fault for not getting into good positions. So, so often we see him at the edge of the box when he should be in position to finish a cross.

I actually quite like him as a player, but he's not doing what we need at the moment.

I hope Forest go on to make CL, it will be an underdog story. And if it costs one of Villa, City, Newcastle or of course Chelsea that will be fantastic.

But lets be real they've gotten very fucking lucky to come away with a point let alone all three tonight.

Stats bear it out, and while I'm no fan of XG they had 0.69 scoring 2 of their 3 attempts on goal. If we had a decent CF to get on the end of the crosses we were putting in tonight we win that comfortably.

They play negative robotic shithouse football, there is no way our fan base would accept that week in week out.
And you are straight up lying if you claim otherwise.

I might be speaking out of turn mate but I think sitting in 3rd in April with the 3rd best defensive record in the league, into the semis of the cup would be acceptable.

There have been plenty of piss poor performances this season but I just don't feel like tonight falls into that catagory.

We deserved all three points, our wingers and inverted full backs were causing them problems and their goals were a deflection and a Vicario playing the clown. Anyone trying to claim that it was some kind of tactical masterclass from Nuno needs their head testing. They were hanging on for dear life at the end. And his "so called masterclass" of bringing a defender on at half time nearly cost him.

A weird way of looking at a game of football, you do realise teams adapt to the scoreline?

There were plenty of positives to take from tonight. If we can cut the stupid individual errors out we will be fine.

Wow.

I can understand him giving minutes to the other squad players. You get another injury to Solanke and you might need Richarlison to come in the Europa.

God forbid the striker with 7 goals in 23 starts has to be replaced by the striker with 3 goals in 2 starts

So it makes sense. Its obviously awful losing the number of games we are losing but lets be real its meaningless. The season hinges on three games. Two semi finals and hopefully a final.

Why the fuck is it meaningless to have lost 18 league games?

I am a merchant of winning the league and the CL are the goals of a big club, if we are one, and spending another year competing for second rate honors with a 24th rate manager and a championship squad is just a waste of another year.

But those targets aren't realistic under Levy. Are we going to go out and spend £100 million on Declan Rice to take us to the next level? You know the answer.

Our ceiling is winning a Europa which also gets us CL football next season. Can't believe some of our fans are turning their noses up at that as if it isn't good enough just to get rid of a manager and bring in a bloke that will have the same ceiling in place.

Its self sabotage

Yeah but teams more often will be if you give up that many touches in your box.

Even against a team like us who are miles off being incisive atm, They still pulled a heroic goal line clearance and their GK made a couple of very good saves and Richy missed 2 absolute sitters.

I dunno what to tell you... On the whole; it's worked a treat for them so far this season and their defenders have had a tonne of plaudits.
 
Didn't think we would lose - we did. It's painful despite the relative insignificance.

2 defeats before the Bodo game isn't better than 2 wins but I think they get tonked.

Next season needs a new manager at the helm, no comma.

It's simply not worked as we all hoped.... well , at least for those of us who wanted to see the guy succeed, because they claim to be Spurs fans.

Just had a quick look on the Bodo Glimt fans forum which they share with the local IKEA store and they’re very confident

I don’t blame them ; hopefully this is a diversionary tactic to make it seem we’re completely hopeless and distract their attention to bigger games / opponents in the Norwegian Elite division .

Just like the Man who Never Was .
( As I suspect Ange will be known when all this madness is over ) .

You didn't watch the game then....

basically
 
60 million for Tel?Odebart,Sarr,Bentancur -see absolutely nothing in them as players!!!!Great to see Richarlison back -would play him up front with Solanke in the semi-final definitely.
Really looking forward to Sundays game at Anfield🙈🙈🙈
