I am enjoying watching our midfield kick lumps out of Tonali and Savio (in the 2026 sense of kicking lumps i.e. marking close and committing to tackles).

Some good things there. Midfield is dominant - Schlager, Ndoye and especially McAtee are all having a good game. They're far more physical than Spurs who look quite rattled. Cunha and Aina are working really well together down our right side.
On the not so positive side Milenkovic is operating half a yard slower than anyone else in the back 3/5, Morgan looks out of sorts, and Liam "Stan Collymore" Delap has done nothing of note bar one through ball that Morgan was offside for.
Disagree re Delap, he's biffed up van Hecke nicely. Which is why he's nothing like Collymore really, as that wasn't his game. He's basicaly a harder working Lukaku.
Schlager has been good. Our best player. Everyone else is not at the races. Although Dan N'Boy seems to be more physical which i know he is capable of. This bodes well. if the fucker toughens up then he can be a weapon. I think our plan is to bore the pants off everyone and then nick it.
We are slow though. Spuds are disjointed. This is helpful. I hope we can speed things up a bit and get some joy. Delap has been decent. Not getting the rub of the green because for the life of me I cannot understand the Ref not giving free kicks when he is getting lumps kicked out of him from behind.
Hoping for a moment of magic and no-one to switch off which we have a tendency to do. Again Jair Cunha our most lively defender.
So far...very average.
Chicago: Pushing for more..
We are getting away with our fair share of that as well, I wouldn't be complaining too much about the ref. I think he's doing a good job of letting as much as possible go and it's in our favour, the physical game is clearly our preference and not theirs.
Doesn't sound like we've turned up 2nd half so far.
No we're getting absolutely dominated so far this half. No one has any composure and we just keep giving it back to them. Defensively we have numbers but Forest players keep getting under each others' feet because no one seems to know where they're supposed to be.
5 shots and 5 corners to none this half.
"Shots" is a generous term, they've had all the possession and all the threat but I don't think Sels has had to make a save yet.
Munoz is on wearing a mask, I didn't know he was injured.
He had some sort of nose surgery over the summer.
Insert Colombian joke here
WOOT!!!!!!!!!
Absolute howler by the Spurs defense
Think this could be off
Edit: nope, clearly on
Oh ffs. Come on.
Of course it's going to be ruled out for handball as we aren't Man U.
