Bernardo deffo smokes weed. His body language is so lethargic

Are you kidding ? He’s been brilliant and he must have covered every square inch of the pitch thst half.

He’s killing us. Maybe one day he’ll be good enough, but he’s nowhere near ready to be starting games for a club looking to win things.

So many attacks have stopped dead at Savinho’s feet today, its unreal. Doku on please!!

First time I’ve popped in today and this post is spot on

We need to buy a proper, top class winger this summer. And get more people into the box when we do cross it.

At the moment we’re making 30 intricate passes to create an overload on the wings, and there’s zero goal threat when it comes in.

100%, if not 2

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Savinho Grealish and Lewis not doing enough. De Bruyne Doku and Foden or McAtee on at 60 minutes.

 

[Legal Alien]

Well played City!

We're In control of this but we need to be more clinical.

I'd get Kev on for Jack now and go at them again.

Great finish from Rico and Nico having another good game.

 

[jollylescott]

Overall very good half. Pep made a point the other day about our back 4 being fast. It makes a huge difference in defending transitions.

Him and Kovacic outstanding

Forest fans can fuck off I hope they go down next season.

Who's bunged the dog wanker?

Forest putting in an awful lot of effort for little reward. They will be blowing out of their arses after 75. Doku to then deliver the final blows

yep they have done the run around, for little possession, little chances.

we just more careful and accurate in possession than usually this season, so they couldnt break away much at all. when they did it was marginally offside too.

keep up this and they will suffer and tire quick after 60th min

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

If anyone cares, Spurs are rolling over for the media darlings.

Can we still call it rolling over when they're never rolling under?

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Marmoush needs to move more central.

Him and Grealish need to be doing much more.

 

[PragueBlue]

Started very well and got an early goal. Total domination and we were fining Lewis and Grealish in space around their box but after about 25 mins, we seemed to change tack and tried inviting them onto us more and at times we struggled then to play through them. Coupled with a few periods of sloppy play, we lost a bit of the total control we had early on.

Nobody has played badly and each player has contributed.

Get back to playing the way we started the game and we should win this.

 

[David Kloppesh]

Bobb on for Savi

 

[Ajm1985]

3rd most miserly defence in the league, which is more impressive when you consider they play without the ball. Tough to break down

 

[Lauz9888]

Started the half well but a bit of sloppiness crept in as time went on.

Trusting Pep's half-time team talk will re-focus the team.

Some of our pressing especially in the first 20 mins or so was excellent.

The Steph Curry of the team, minus the appreciation.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Genuinely shocked at the negativity. I thought we were proper Manchester City that first half.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Savinho Grealish and Lewis not doing enough. De Bruyne Doku and Foden or McAtee on at 60 minutes.

Mcatee not in the squad mate
