Agree - some decent encouraging signs but we do need to learn to be a lot sharper in front of goal. Harry Kane gave us a lesson in how to finish! The disappointing bit was six yellow card. Six for gawds sake!

The finishing will come. Personally, I think Surridge should start up top. If he’s fed the ball, he doesn’t miss. But in general these players are still learning to play with one another. It’s coming. Might get a lucky point against City on Wed but most importantly, 3 points against Bournemouth next weekend has to be the goal; anything else wil be a disappointment as they are utterly dreadful.

So on MOTD2 last night the pundits were having a bit of a laugh about Dean Henderson’s celebrations after the penalty save. I’ve also seen people criticising him on social media.
Question is….what’s wrong with a goalie celebrating when they make a good save?! Especially in circumstances like that? He saved a penalty against one of the best penalty takers in the world, his team are still in the game at that point and the crowd are roaring him on like he’s a hero (which from our point of view, he is!)
If an outfield player scores a goal he’ll often engage in wild celebration - often having rehearsed or planned it in advance. For a keeper, surely making a cracking save is his equivalent of an outfield player scoring a goal?
I realise it’s not the “done thing”. But why shouldn’t it be?!

I loved it. He wasn't mocking Kane or Spurs, he was whipping up the home crowd. It's an entertainment business, he was providing great entertainment and they lapped it up.

He did same against rice, so many keepers do it
Even do with a good save for a corner
Dont see the issue

Yep, no issue with Deano or any keeper doing that.
Also, Don Marinakis needs to give United whatever they want for Henderson. He’s worth every penny (1st goal aside ?)

Don't remind me. When Geoff Thomas skied a penalty out of the ground at 0-7 the pain turned to laughter.

Watching the game on the box yesterday, before the penalty was taken, the commentator mentioned Kane had scored with his last 21 penalties.. To save a penalty against Kane is a very rare feat and one he should be chuffed about. Oddly enough if he had scored we would now be talking about how thick the defender was handling the ball in the first place. That is now forgotten.

Did you hear Ian Wright talking about the 9-0 defeat the other night on MOTD. He said he was in tears and embarrassed.

Very unlike Steve Cook. Was a bit of a scramble/tangle and he wasn’t fully in control of his limbs I don’t think. More accidental, unlike Scott McKenna who definitely turned into a goalkeeper against West Ham ?

Enjoying Spurs fans trying to defend Richi over coffee this morning. Today’s beans are a fresh blend of sweet revenge that leave lovely salty flavours on the palate.

To be fair the other Forest defender pushes Kane into him but still a bad mistake.
Leaving Kane on his own in the six yd box is more of a problem imo.
The defence just seemed to switch off as they thought the ball had been cleared.

yep; lord knows what Toffolo and Kouyaté were doing, in particular. ?? both goals massively unavoidable. Oh well, plenty of positives. We’ll just pump City 9-0 in retaliation on Wednesday ???

Yeah was interesting. I can imagine him as well, was a fierce competitor. Brilliant player. Broke my heart when he left, was my hero as kid. Only missed 1 game he played for Palace, he was electric.
