    It’s genuinely concerning how lethargic we look. No one looks like they’ve got any energy out there.

    Unless Ange sticks a rocket up their arses and we find a second wind, this is gonna be a comfortable and comprehensive win for Nuno and Forest.

    1-0 HT. Forest have done exactly what they set out to do and we haven't.
    Plenty of the ball but little in the way of creativity or chances, with a number wasted by pissing about on the edge of the box.
    Some fairly hefty challenges against tired legs seems to have done it's job, too. Lethargic and lacking in confidence.

    Tired legs and tired minds.. could be a game for Maddison to shine.

    Pretty even game. Couple of decent saves from Sels but Forest haven’t created much other than the goal. No reason we can’t get back in this.

    Sad, but inevitable I'm afraid. He has not had a sniff today....

    Son has been that poor that Werner could be an improvement.

    Udogie at fault with the goal. Was running back with Elonga, but pulls up at the wrong time which releases the forward to reach the through ball. Poor defending! (Rinse and Repeat)

    Spurs definitely don’t.

    The manager makes it worse by the way he sets the side up. You’ve got a ST playing far too deep and full backs taking space where the wingers should be.

    This current group of players isn’t all that good but a better manager would get more out of them than the current one is. I wonder how bad and how many defeats Spurs have to suffer before Levy finally sees what is obvious to most.

    I was just about to post the same thing! Watching the goal back why does he stop? Hoping for offside? Poor in my book...

    Unless they drop dangerously close to the relegation zone I suspect he'll last the season. Not sure after that though...

    Tired players but still being asked to play the same way as if they are fresh. That’s on the manager again. He’s so far out of his depth now it’s scary. Utterly inept and causing damage to players like this.

    In a way I don’t want him to be let off the hook for this.

    If he’s sacked now then blame will all be on Levy and Ange can waddle off back to Australia with a nice payoff and say it wasn’t down to him.

    Kulusevski's been off today, which is very unusual for him.

    Second half started well! Looks so flat and a bit clueless up front.. Ange needs to change this up a bit.

    Am I suffering from Mandela effect or did Johnson use to be rapid at Forest?

    I swear it’s like Sessegnon all over again. He moved slower than Michael Dawson after 12 pints for us yet could’ve sworn he had a touch of the Aaron Lennon’s at Fulham. Johnson looks like he’d struggle to beat Forster in a foot race.

    Dragusin pulls back Hudson-Odoi and gets rightfully booked. Silly.
