They've got two on the bench haven't they??

Top save from Henderson, redeemed himself.
I don't know. If they do then they need to bring one on. Lots of pretty stuff, no real edge. They look good but you need to score goals, time to state the obvious ?.

I loved the way Henderson played the crowd as well, good entertainment.

Do you like watching spurs play rope a dope? You are better than that aren't you?

Emmanuel Dennis is on for them now.

I quite enjoy counter attacking football generally, but we've just not been particularly sharp today. Poor efforts and poor final balls. Forest have been the better side in football terms for sure.

I was saying to my dad in WhatsApp it was worth taking Son and Kulusevski off as they were the culprits really. Richarlison the sub with a superb ball there. ??

That ball from Richarlison was him at his best, he has been brought into take spurs to another level. His antics will hurt them as he will be targeted if he don’t sort himself out.

Seriously do Spurs players do pantomime, a hand in the face and he has gone down like he is paralyised. ?

Then you see how strong he can be when he barged the Forest lad off the ball for the 2nd goal. Refs shouldn’t be falling for it.

Two up within minutes left, it's just standard timewasting that any team would have done I'm afraid. ??‍♂️

Yeah, the kick-ups bit was nonsense, what on earth was he doing? Thinks he's Neymar. Not someone you really want to look up to.

And, in all honesty, I think Richarlison enjoyed it as well. He clearly loves being a wind up merchant, so if opponents react by smashing into him, job done.
Yep, it completely bailed him out as well. Having done the pointless kick-ups, that casual pass he made with his left foot actually gave the ball away, so winning a free kick saved him. I just cannot understand why he did that, having made a positive impact with a wonderful assist - setting up the chance of him starting next game since Son has been out of sorts - he ruins it with some unfocussed sloppy play which I'm sure will stick in Conte's mind. No brains.

Well, as a Forest fan I’m not too disappointed.

Literally every so-called expert was predicting we’d get “thrashed” today. Yeah we lost, but I thought we put in a good performance. We certainly didn’t get rolled over. We made it difficult for them and had more possession.

We lacked the killer touch certainly, but I’m hopeful that will come with time. Despite the headline of a 2-0 loss, there’s plenty to be pleased about today from our point of view. Spurs are a class act at the moment and we worked them hard.

"Bruno Lage has confirmed that Willy Boly was in the squad for today's game but the player failed to show up at Molineux because he wants to leave."

Let him rot in the reserves, utter disgrace if true

exactly this.

Feared the worst after Deano apparently decided to start the game at 16:35 ? but we grew into the game, looked solid AF in midfield (without our two best midfielders starting) and simply need that final ball to come. Which it will; Most of these players have been together less than 2 months.

On another day, Yatesy doesn’t miss that header (he hardly ever does) and Williams hits the target (which he has done most games).

can’t be too upset at all with today. The difference was mostly a world class finisher in Harry Kane. If we’re playing like this after only 4 games with a completely new squad, then I’m excited about what’s to come.
