Thank goodness for this Test match. I needed a palate cleanser from Spurs.

Absolute joke. Literally happens every game. Get some fucking guts to not go with VAR when they call you to the monitor.

Love that tackle from Bergvall on Joelinton. He’s come a hell of a long way since Galatasaray away.

This feels horribly familiar. We are clearly so poor, and when we play slightly well for periods you don’t get excited because you know it’s more in spite of the game plan than because of it.

This reffing is hilarious, again. Bentancur clearly gets the ball and Joelinton goes down in a heap.

FWIW I thought it was pathetic of our fans to boo Vicario like that. I was there and it felt loud. No individual Spurs player should ever be booed, they play for our club and don’t make mistakes on purpose, whether you think they’re good enough or not. It says so much about the state of our fanbase.

So in terms of goals conceded:
2x unreal finishes from Vitinha
1x gift from Romero
1x farcical penalty
1x poor set piece defending
Not that bad, just massively frustrating.

This refereeing in Europe is a joke. The tiniest fouls are given against us for contact. Nothing similar for PSG. Handball is farcical.

We look mentally frazzled right now, Frank needs to make the changes.

Ffs man, how are we letting the little guy dictate the game and shoot from there

Why don’t we believe in our ability to pass and build up from the back anymore? We literally spent 2 seasons playing suicide ball, now we don’t even try.

Am sure the Xavi sub was done with good intentions but you cannot have Palhinha on the pitch with Bentancur chasing a goal. Where’s the movement or pace coming from? Baffling.

I love Muani, a classy striker with a nice touch and strong in contact. We just need some better rotations around him. It’s not terrible atm but there’s very little fluency and connection

Who is capable of passing the ball to Xavi today? The mystery continues!

Doing this fun little Ultimate Trust XI on the Spurs website. This Q ‘Who would be the best manager in the squad?’
The fact that I’m struggling with this perhaps shows how we’ve lacked true footballing IQ in our team for AGES.
The equivalent of a Silva at City. The coach on the field.

Wow how on earth is that a red? His foot is clearly just bouncing off the ground and the contact is soft. That’s insane.

Safe to say Richarlison isn’t plucking the ball out of the sky like Muani did then. He’s shinning that into a row Z 😂

Bentancur is reborn in this game, where has this passing been all season??

This no-wingers thing just isn’t working right now. Again we can’t keep the ball, everyone is so far away from each other!

“Simons, as the No 10, is tasked with connecting everyone around him: two midfielders who rarely pass forward, two wingers who tend to stay wide, and a centre-forward who isn’t involved much in build-up play. That’s a tough task for a 22yr old in a new league.”

Big, tough win. Wasn’t going to be pretty but we scored two good goals and could have had a couple more 🙌
