Funny how games go.
As soon as Brighton went ahead they dropped back a bit and let Spurs get out.
Brighton had chances to bury them but got in each others way.
Good watch after the crap earlier.

Well that's plan a. And when plan a doesn't work? Plan a again
I don't really understand how he can be that naïve. Any top manager we be making sure the team defends properly after being 2-0 at half time. All out attack is only going to work half the time. He's the Aussie Kevin Keegan. 😒

Just seen some interesting footage of Nicolas Jackson punching Forest defender Morato in the face during the melee that followed Neco Williams and Marc Cucurella tripping over each other during the Forest v Cole Palmer FC game earlier today.

I trust that the Premier League will look over this footage and punish Jackson to the full letter of the law.

Certainly raised his hands and maybe more of a slap as opposed to punch

Think there lies the problem, he isn't a top manager

Defending is an art, he clearly not a fan of it

Arsenal on the other hand they can play some of the best football in the league but also dig deep and close up shop when required.

Really going to be a good game on the 19th when we meet. Both teams fragile when they let in a goal

3-3 😂

Said it before the season started but we need a decent striker who can take a chance. Not one that needs six attempts to get a goal. If we had someone clinical we could have got a result at City. It will come back to haunt us later in the season if we get injuries

Who is available with tho qualities these days? Do they even exist? Haaland is prob the best striker in the world as an out and out forward and even he misses a lot of chances

It's all a numbers game

How many chances are you realistically going to get away to City? Someone who knows where the goal is like Welbeck would be a shout or I'd even take Delap at Ipswich who seems to be scoring a few in the PL

Delap was trying shots left right and center at the weekend.

There aren't that many sure thing strikers who will bury chances
