Any joy since the goal? Haven't been watching as looked unbearable just before they scored.

I don't hate the idea, but I don't think it works with the calibre of player we have. It requires too high a degree of perfection from defenders and constant overloads offensively.
I don't think it would be outrageous to tweak things a touch and maybe not have the FBs tucking so close and so high. We just leave soon much space for the opposition to play into if they beat the press or we lose it on the attack.
Look at whenever we attacks we are always outnumbered by Forest players. They make it difficult to play against. We are the opposite, it's just too easy to get at our necks.

Nah, it's not how most teams do it. I get what you're saying, but it's not working for Spurs.

I agree, it's unusual to have a possession based team commitment so many men ahead of the ball, as it leaves you so exposed.

He probably buries that in a South Korean shirt

For their gaols we had numbers back
But we were going backwards which is the worst way to defend

Nice to see I'm not the only person to see how crap we are

He can be a cheerleader on the side, offering little again

It really does, especially when some of those players don't do "nearest man" defending.

If you attack with a 5 across the line it is. It's not working cause we don't do it
There are various ways to implement it but most tactical systems maintain cover in the wide area and central shield. We just have a central shield of 1 player and then wonder why he's constantly not where the danger is.
It wouldn't matter if we had Rodri in there, he'd still get overrun
Overall, I think we were decent in that half. A few poor decisions in the final third and our by now totally expected problems when we get caught on the break. We should have scored a couple though and Johnson was quite involved for a change. Sonny though....get him off.

I think we've played far better today. I think we havent been to shabby, actually. Not great, but we manage to do a little bit here and there around a wall of a defense. Not too bad.
Son is off it again though, does very little on his flank.

No - Forest haven’t scored the three goals you are looking for.

Very poor half of football. Defensively, you just can’t believe what you’re watching. Acres of space down the sides, centre backs losing the ball on the wing in the opposition half, absolutely no protection.
Sons been abysmal and Johnson offers no protection when we need it. I’d hook both and bring on Werner and Maddison and try to stretch them a bit because they’re very compact and we’re struggling to get through.
Good performances? Maybe Bentancur, Sarr and Deki’s been industrious. Been very lacklustre other than them.
