    I thought that was because he was crap. But you're probably right.

    He was the best of the four defenders who started. And we all know he's shit.

    Maybe I'm too generous and I was only watching on an iPad but I didn't blame the goalkeeper for any of the goals. The first two were basically point blank with no chance to react and the third was a brilliantly struck first time shot with no chance to set himself after the ball hit the woodwork.

    Guessing Morato going off at half time means Murillo isn't playing on Saturday.

    Hopefully, it was because he wanted a look at Jair.

    Good god, Shades. I sometimes wonder if you wouldn't be better finding a different past time - I'm not convinced that Forest are for you.

    Probably an element of that but if Murillo is 50/50 for Saturday, you'd probably not take the risk and save him for Wednesday.

    Given the available options, I'd definitely think about chucking a midfielder in there.

    As opposed to your intentional daily review of AIBU?

    I was livid at full time but I haven't abandoned all hope. A raft of new signings played some more than decent stuff at times and whilst some of the subs were...curious it's not like Ange was throwing on academy youngsters at Anfield. It's also not his fault that the ass ref (probably incorrectly) disallowed a goal, that the finishing was laughably shite or that for the 2nd game running MGW stood for Monumentally Gash Waster.
    Defensive structure when facing corners and their aftermath needs some urgent attention though.

    Against Arsenal, it looked like we were using the same approach to corners as Nuno (unsurprisingly) with all our best headers on zonal duty around the six yard box and three (I think) picking up their main threats. It looked similar last night, which was how we ended up with Boly struggling to get to the ball and McAtee not jumping as the man-marker for their first goal.

    We also don't bother to pick up players on the edge of the box (presumably gambling that we can get men out if we need to and it'll take something exceptional to score anyway), which has cost us with Arsenal's first and Swansea's third.

    Spurs were shit at corners last season but Romero and Van der Ven were absent for ages, which gives Postecoglou some excuse. This ( theanalyst.com/articles/tottenham-set-piece-problems-ange-postecoglou ) suggests they weren't much cop the season before either, though.

    Rest assured I have always been happy to post my drivel under my own name.
