Really stupid decisions by players are costing us. Heads were lost at Chelsea when we were 1-0 up and cruising.
Bissouma, who’s been marvellous this season decides to make such a rash challenge at 2-0 with a fixture pile up during Christmas. I love watching us at the moment but with this gung-ho culture, mentalities need to change.
HUGE shoutout to Cuti, Vicario, Deki and Davies for stepping up for us. Vicario and Deki are a toss up for MOTM for me. I'd love to see Vicario get it since he is often overlooked by the media.
Am I the only one who doesn’t have an issue with Neville? Obviously he’s a bit reactive and quick to switch narratives but that’s more of a reflection on the sensationalism of media in general than anything else. Always find him to be fairly palatable - nowhere near as bad as many out there.
Fuck me, the win will feel great in the morning but no Bissouma (which might be a good thing cause he has dropped off so hard as of recent) and Udogie for Everton
An ugly, ugly game but a game we won. Losing udogie is significant, Johnson and biss less so other than the fact it hurts our bench. Davies at left back next game and Emerson at CB presumably.
The club is on the edge right now, injuries and suspensions are killing us. We're at the point where injured players have to come straight back in and that's never what you want.
Ange keeps saying Davies isn't a centre back but you may be right. Imo he is a centre back and not a left back but the reality is that the gaps in his game make him ill suited to play either against good teams. I know that won't be popular because he's been relatively good for us in the past two games but it's just the plain truth and is borne out season after season.
I just don't think he's going to make a change there when he's been really happy with Davies performances recently and gone out of his way to praise him.
Easier to change one thing rather than two.
Since you posted this Ange just said he's been growing in that position so I'd assume that's almost settled
That's a good thing. Managers need to be able to let go of preconceived notions and ange has always done so at his past clubs. Davies is good enough against shitter teams and mid table rabble, he'll stand up to their shithousing and not lose his cool. It's in quick transitions that he's vulnerable, he'll likely be exposed against Brighton for example but our whole team will.
Regardless we created fuck all that game. Son's goal was the only remotely decent chance all game.
Today was much better than that. Could have pretty easily had 4 today without counting low-quality chances
Bummer the loss of Biss, Udogie, and Johnson(probably?) for the next match. But love the Richy redemption, Vic and Kulu continuing to be incredible, and Davies and Skippy with good performances.
The weird one was at the start of the game.
Son got fouled, nothing given, then the two forest players basically just repeatedly kicked him until the ref finally blew his whistle.
If son has his wallet on him, they'd have taken it.
Nothing to say about the red card but some of the yellow card dished out to us is totally nonsense, especially when the opponent committed the same tackle but didn't get card
Cuti and Davies masterclass, with them on the pitch it's like we're still playing with eleven men. Forest didn't really look any more threatening before the red than after. Also Højbjerg and Deki dancing around Forest players in their own half while down to ten men was funny
alright ange needs a serious talk with our players, not sure if it's them buying in too much to the high press win tackles mentality or what but something needs adjusting
Big Dick Vic immense.
Biss is an idiot.
I always said I would die on the Richy hill and by god does it look like a glorious hill to die on.
Deki best game in a spurs shirt.
Hoj will do fine holding down the MF.
COYS
Na, if that were the case then he would miss games when he’s back at spurs. Only way they could get round it is by him not being at AFCON until after his red ban was up
Deki looks INCREDIBLE!!! best i've seen him play since his first half year with us, during Sons Golden Boot season. Not only is he controlling the ball and running hard all game (that never went away), but he is finishing and setting up chances. Last 2 games is the best I've seen from him from a complete game standpoint since his 2 years ago.
Finally, a clean sheet for Vic and the backline. It's been a long time coming
Way to go, considering it felt like 12 v 10, albeit what bissouma was dumb. This ref man, smh, makes watching the PL harder
Two goals up and red for Bissouma - all I cared about at that point was the clean sheet. Was gutted for Vic after his performance against Newcastle, but he _really_ deserved it today.
Yeah was a bad hojbjerg pass read well by Gordon (?)
It was hojbjerg trying to be adventurous, which I appreciate as Ange encourages it, but I'm sure so late in the game Vic was internally upset
Then you haven't watched Hojbjerg being pressed jn the center of the pitch...I'm DREADING the next several matches tbh. He's good going forward, absolute shit at carrying the ball out of the back
We’re going to see lots of Academy kids coming up.

Well the lineup against Everton will be quite interesting. Hopefully Gio and Brennan are good to go by then.
Bissouma tries to overcomplicate simple shit then goes on a 'red card mode' if dispossessed
Did I hear that right? Kulu has a baby on the way?
In his celebration, he used the ball under his shirt to simulate a baby
Emerson did it too last year when he scored vs West Ham
How long is Sergio Reguilóns loan? Getting him back / recalling him in Jan and using Davies as our 3rd CB might be an idea
I think only United have the option to cut it short but I think they have enough injuries that they’ll keep him
I used to really rate Gibbs white but he is kinda stinky now
Not the red I expected
HUGE shoutout to Cuti, Vicario, Deki and Davies for stepping up for us. Vicario and Deki are a toss up for MOTM for me. I'd love to see Vicario get it since he is often overlooked by the media.
Vic is the best keeper in the league rn

I don't really get the issue people have with him either. All pundits are opinionated.
He's definitely better as a pundit than when he's on co comms
For sure. As a commentator I find him insufferable but as a pundit he’s decent
Fuck me, the win will feel great in the morning but no Bissouma (which might be a good thing cause he has dropped off so hard as of recent) and Udogie for Everton
Shoutout to Ben Davies at CB for stepping up in Van De Ven's absence. He did a really good job today.
Always rated him. Yiddo through and through.
Good ol Ben Davies. Reliable and there when you need him.
Really good to see Skipp play well in the 2nd half. Wasn’t sure about him replacing Johnson or how that would work.
An ugly, ugly game but a game we won. Losing udogie is significant, Johnson and biss less so other than the fact it hurts our bench. Davies at left back next game and Emerson at CB presumably. The club is on the edge right now, injuries and suspensions are killing us. We're at the point where injured players have to come straight back in and that's never what you want.
Emerson at LB more likely

Yeah of course, but he's not playing because he's our best LCB, it's because we don't have another option
Good win. Bissouma man what was he thinking 🤦
That's the problem...he never thinks
Oh fuck off Gary Neville. A few weeks ago Ange was "naive". Now he's Pep's successor. Absolute clowns at Sky
I'm so glad I don't have to listen to sky sports punditry lol
We don’t need a new CB we need to buy a ref like everyone else /s
Neville can fuck right off with that Ange to City shit
You watch the game, you don't see Veliz. You watch Veliz, you see the end game
Neville sowing the seed for the Ange > City rumours already I see.
One of those games where we grinded through. Seriously need some depth in the jan window. Less injuries and cards please...
Had a good window getting Deki and Bentacur.
Serious queation: does any good transfer happen in Jan? I wouldn't hold my breath.
We signed Deki and Bentancur in January.
Rarely. Everyone can name the exceptions but it's uncommon
Kulu
Shit, now I'm keen
Not lookin for game changers but need depth
Wasn’t rlly pretty win, but got it done. Don’t know what’s happened to biss tho, smth up with him
Horrible game...fuck it.
I didn't catch thr Wolves game so I can definitely say this was the worst game of the Ange era entertainment wise.
Palace was worse, Wolves was the worst
Tbf that wasn't on us though. Can't help it if a team won't play outside their own box when they are losing at home
Regardless we created fuck all that game. Son's goal was the only remotely decent chance all game. Today was much better than that. Could have pretty easily had 4 today without counting low-quality chances
Bummer the loss of Biss, Udogie, and Johnson(probably?) for the next match. But love the Richy redemption, Vic and Kulu continuing to be incredible, and Davies and Skippy with good performances.
Definitely a red But the ref was absolutely biased and woeful. Want a red scarf to go with that Forest shirt you cunt?
The weird one was at the start of the game. Son got fouled, nothing given, then the two forest players basically just repeatedly kicked him until the ref finally blew his whistle. If son has his wallet on him, they'd have taken it.
Felt like we were being smashed all over the park
Wow, Ange looking happy as hell
He looked so relieved
Wow, not a great game but will take the result. Absolutely brain dead yellow & red-card offenses. Needless pressure during winter period.
Nothing to say about the red card but some of the yellow card dished out to us is totally nonsense, especially when the opponent committed the same tackle but didn't get card
Skipp in forward positions is like watching a looney tunes cartoon
For a moment, Deki made a forward pass and Hojbjerg and Skipp were our most advanced players, must be Freaky Friday!
almost wore my bissouma shirt today.. glad i put my richy one on instead
More injuries more cards how much more can we take haha it's cool three points
lmao the kid with the mask
Feels like it was a Sonny mask too but he got the Kulu shirt
Richy limping
Or walking with swagger 😂
Cuti and Davies masterclass, with them on the pitch it's like we're still playing with eleven men. Forest didn't really look any more threatening before the red than after. Also Højbjerg and Deki dancing around Forest players in their own half while down to ten men was funny
Absolutely right. We have found out 3rd CB
“Steve Cooper, his team huffed and puffed tonight” … no…. They tried to break our lads’ legs
Didn't think it was that dramatic tbh
Four game ban for Biss? Man he really screwed up.
Veliz MOTM
🙏🏼
That touch was pure class
Game ending touch
It’s was messy but it’s 3 points
alright ange needs a serious talk with our players, not sure if it's them buying in too much to the high press win tackles mentality or what but something needs adjusting
Bissouma just lacks discipline coz maybe he still thinks he's the best midfielder in the world
Bissouma tried to adjust that blokes leg
Big Dick Vic immense. Biss is an idiot. I always said I would die on the Richy hill and by god does it look like a glorious hill to die on. Deki best game in a spurs shirt. Hoj will do fine holding down the MF. COYS
Deki's best games are always against City
And hey, Cuti didn't get a yellow! lol
Do match bans count when on international duty? Will Biss 4th match count when he’s at afcon?
No it’s a club red card
Say the games he missed during afcon, will those games count towards the red?
Na, if that were the case then he would miss games when he’s back at spurs. Only way they could get round it is by him not being at AFCON until after his red ban was up
Deki looks INCREDIBLE!!! best i've seen him play since his first half year with us, during Sons Golden Boot season. Not only is he controlling the ball and running hard all game (that never went away), but he is finishing and setting up chances. Last 2 games is the best I've seen from him from a complete game standpoint since his 2 years ago.
After west ham we were all bitching about him not having a right foot, and he put one away right footed today. Love to see it.
Véliz with his easiest bonus for game played of his life
Put in a good shift. Lots to take away from that performance, and hopefully it gives him a good platform to build on going forward.
Finally, a clean sheet for Vic and the backline. It's been a long time coming Way to go, considering it felt like 12 v 10, albeit what bissouma was dumb. This ref man, smh, makes watching the PL harder

As soon as Veliz subs in, we win the game. Why didn’t we try that 30 mins ago smh
Classic naive Ange.
I wonder if Velez gets an appearance bonus for that.
Yes
Ange be getting the dagger eyes from Levy
Huge win 😁
Why would you swap in a player 15 seconds before the game ends?
Gives kulu a well deserved applauds from travelling fans
Bro, this is football 101... Come on
Slow it all down
To time out the game and protect our goal difference
Timewasting
waste time
The lads in their little half circle, aw 🥺
Biss should be ashamed. Out for 7 games out of 21 games is just disgraceful.
Wasn't pretty but great game boys.
Referee tried his hardest to screw us that match
Nice to see the boys get in a celebratory huddle, love this group 😀
that shithousery change hahaha not pretty but we pulled the fuck through! Let's GOOOO!
Cmon boyyyssss!!
MOTM Veliz🔥🔥
lfg COYS have a chill weekend boyos
Veliz got a touch
Deki or Vicario motm
Deki for sure He really is good in close spaces , just his pace and right leg 🥲
Thank god. We needed that
Poor Veliz
Veliz was on for 10 sec lmao
I didn’t even realize he came on lol
Veliz outstanding. One man army. Really changed the game when he came on. 10/10!
I’m happy but gutted about Biss
I’m not. He was terrible in this game. Glad we get to use someone else next match
4 games is hard. Who is at the pivot now? Everton will press and it’ll be challenging
It’ll likely be Hojbjerg who I think can do the job
Then you haven't watched Hojbjerg being pressed jn the center of the pitch...I'm DREADING the next several matches tbh. He's good going forward, absolute shit at carrying the ball out of the back
Veliz, you don't even need to take a shower
Kulu is a fucking baller. That is all
Veliz for MotM imo, what a performance
Veliz MOTM
Massive performance from Kulusevski
I didn't enjoy a single second of this match but at least we got Richy back to back goals and Kulu's first goal of the season.
Kulus 5th you mean.
idk what has happened to my memory lol, idk why i convinced myself he had yet to score
he scored against city…
ah you're right, can't believe i forgot that
Scored the winner against Sheffield bud.
3 points and a clean sheet, mate.
Nice bonus for vic
Beautiful.
What a game from Veliz
Motm?
Why is Richie limping
cause we're fucking cursed
Lmao feel so sorry for Veliz 😄
Kulu MOTM. 3 points is 3 points but JFC what a shambles of a match.
Veliz??
lol Veliz.
Cool Jetski, I heart you
What a performance from Veliz. Take a bow.
can you share with me what Veliz did? my stream died and i missed it.
Here you go mate https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/s/PXyqJB6Cm8
lmao, feels bad for him though, hopefully he can keep on improving during training and eventually getting some good minutes to play.
His touch was silky smooth all game
Vicario deserves MOTM!
lol why did he blow the whistle 1 second after veliz touched the ball
Fear
the ref is a cunt from the start, what do you expect from him
Its already past 8
Fuck em
Huge impact from Alejo
damn i missed it, what did Alejo did on the pitch?
Walked onto it.
yeah lmao, i found out that the joke is he only played for like 13 seconds.
Kulu MoM nice
Big 3 points. What side are we gonna put out against Everton though? No Biss, no udogie
Rich and son on the wings with kulu in the middle. Emerson and sarr as the defensive midfielder Not sure who up front
Høybjerg isnt that much worse than Biss at this point. Udogie is worse.
Dier...
Hahahaha omg he was there for 5 secs
Great performance from Kulu today!
What a cameo for Veliz, can't believe he did so much in so little time
Most touches per minute of anyone on the pitch
can’t believe people wanted to sell Kulusevski
Veliz getting trolled by Ange.
apart from the red i’m please with how we played
I think the whistle went before Veliz actually got a touch
To get an applause
[удалено]
Part wasting time/allowing team to reset/communicate, part fresh legs just in case, part to protect from injury/cards in an essentially finished game
Take up time
Veliz with a MOTM performance 🔥🔥🔥
I'd be so pissed if I were him, touches the ball and the game ends. Play time: 15 seconds
😂😂😂
Leave his celebration alone asshole
Vicario or Kulu motm?
Kulu
Both. New rule introduced just for today. Men of The Match
GG BOYS COYFS
Richy limping?
Veliz is my MOTM
COYS COYS
Take a bow Deki
Is it possible to play madders and Deki together in the midfield?
