Obviously, impossible to not vote for Pickford for MOTM, but I voted for Gueye because he is so much more better looking and doesn't jump up and immediately yell at people after every good play he makes. Really, I did.

We were robbed of a point there last season when that handball was ignored in the last minute.

I meant at Goodison, we were robbed at Emirates.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Ffs sake, never satisfied. You'd have easily taken that point before the game.

Positives - we picked up a point at Arsenal...

Negatives - Everything Else.

In the top 5 worst players ever to pull on a Spurs shirt.

Blows my mind that a top four team chooses to employ kai havertz as a footballer

He's spent a lot of money Arteta for little in return.

I'd be surprised if the locals don't start demanding more

A really good point and brilliant we kept another clean sheet.

Annoying that Ipswich won but they're going to find it really hard over the next few months, quality wise they are sorely lacking. Leicester likewise, have seen a crazy stat that in RVN's 3 games they've conceded 74 shots. If that's true then holy moly, no chance they'll stay up. Wolves I still think are going to fight 'til the end. They're just stick in a spiral where everything is going against them, and their players are overthinking everything (oh how we know what that feels like). But one win from somewhere might kick-start them.

Another couple of points this month would be great. If we never actual drop into the bottom three places before new year, that, along with the takeover being rubber-stamped, would be a huge mental boost for everyone. People might actually start smiling again!

4 points from 3 games so far in the month of death. If we can get 3 points against Forest it will be an OK month.

So obviously not impossible because you didn’t

Not a chance against Forest, they are a much much better team. They have proven it’s not a flash the pan.

 

[Tylard]

What a point. Week after week I have no idea how to feel about this team. Non stop roller coaster.

I think Branthwaithe and Tarkowski can keep Chris Wood quiet. Type of player they thrive against and type of defenders he won't fancy being up against

Watched the game and only realising now that Haverts was playing. For all of their possession they had alot of anonymous performances

Absolutely, see Rice as well. I don't think I've ever seen him no anonymous. Odegaard got a lot of the ball but wasn't allowed to do anything with it either. Huge credit to Mangala and especially Gueye yesterday for killing the middle of the park.

Now if only we had somebody obviously not finished in place of Doucoure these kind of games, where the opposition just can't score for love nor money, could turn into smash and grab opportunities for us. As it stands though we could have played all night and still not scored, whereas they'd have ultimately have put one in.

 

[Bilko]

Happy with a point of course - and maybe away at Arsenal is one of the few times we need to play defensively - but it was grim not seeing us have a bit of a go at them.
I'll never understand why we don't have at least one man on the half way line when we defend corners. It makes zero sense. They need 2 or even 3 to mark one of ours - instead of their whole team around our box.

I thought that was just my way of thinking !. I have been saying that for years,even leave 2 up front leaves 9 to defend the corner and commits minimum 3 defenders and goalkeeper back.
Watched first half, great result, fully expected to lose,

There is a chance, always a chance, in fact IMO a good chance
