What an embarrassment. I know we would lose before the game but to see the lack off effort and fight was inexcusable. Everyone should hold their heads in shame. Palmer also is worrying me. I am not sure where is best position is and there are many games this season now where he just looks ordinary. For a player of his quality, you should be expecting him to rip fear into the opposition. He makes the odd nice pass but his guile, ability to beat a man has just disappeared. Our fixtures are not good. I think even Newcastle may finish above us at this rate. Shambolic. Every fan that attended that game deserves a refund. Can't believe the state of this club right now.

A mix of frustration and anger. Was never a 5-2 game. We had many occasions where we could scored a few and then a crazy last 10 minutes completely changed the game. I struggle to see how we overturn it. Not because we need to just make up 3 goals. We have seen it happen in the past, however more to do that we now play a tough game on Saturday whilst PSG have a whole week off, due to Ligue 1 postponing their upcoming fixture. To the game, thought Neto was very good. Caused a lot of problems. Enzo played well too. Team did in general. What annoyed me was the subs. Another game where Rosenior made subs to kind of preserve what we had and it ended up backfiring. I thought Garnacho should have come on earlier, with how stretched the game was. We were causing them issues out wide and on that big pitch, this is the type of game Garnacho could have made a real impact. Really frustrating because the scoreline suggests we got Spurs'd but we never. Just lapses in concentration. Keeper hugely at fault but is it their fault when the manager constantly keeps implying on playing out from the back. Stick with your philosophy, however sometimes respect the opposition.

Rosenior taking off Neto at the end was stupid. When playing with 10 men always smart to have a player with pace as your outlet. He took him off and we had no width. I think Enzo should have came off at that point. Damaging result. Next week I expect that Liverpool will beat us as I don't see us getting anything from Arsenal. This is our next fixtures: Arsenal (A), Villa (A), Newcastle (H), Everton (A), City (H), United (H). All extremely tough games and defo will be some dropped points there. Liverpool have West Ham (H), Wolves (A) and Spurs (H) next. Football is not played on paper but Liverpool will fancy winning all those fixtures. Going to be a real difficult month and if we manage to be in top 5 after those fixtures conclude, then we must have done something really well.

Why does Estevao have so many games where he keeps going missing. It is really frustrating!! What is the issue now?

Pundits said that it was not an injury for Cucu. Interesting.

Gusto worries me on a yellow card. Is very clumsy. Got sent off against Forest when on a yellow, earlier in season and got lucky with the incident in the match whilst on a yellow.

You have said this like 3 times today. You defo are excited 😄

Big bonus that Calvert-Lewin has not made it. Hopefully we can win and make a statement with a few goals too.

Hooked at half-time this evening too whilst 1-0 down. Don't think he has scored since November.

Rosenior just confirmed Neto and James failed fitness tests this morning.

Palmer on bench for me if Estevao is presumably back. Has not been himself and I am not sure if this is the game where he can influence directly from the start. We will need a lot of support defensively and type of game he has struggled to impact before. Sanchez James Fofana Chalobah Cucurella Santos Caicedo Estevao Enzo Neto Pedro

No Estevao in squad??? Why does he keep playing then suddenly disappear from squad?? So frustrating. Think this will be quite a difficult game.

In August yes, I agree but in January, they should have done business before City went in. VVD will be 35 come end of season. Konate still not signed contract. I If they can give big salaries for ageing players, they should have paid Guehi his demands, considering he is the future and present and is arguably best CB in league.

With Guehi they did tbh.
