Anyone have a clip of Sesko's chance in second half?

Mount did a lovely pass.

Spurs the better team so draw is lucky result.

We were actually second in the table for a while.
 
I was happy with the comeback. I think we deserved at least a point today.

The team needs to continue to gain more confidence and go try to kill games off when they can. They try to protect the lead sometimes and it costs us. This has been a problem for years, so it's a mentality of the player issue and not a manager issue..
 
Only one team has scored more than us, but only 4 teams have conceded more...

Says it all.

Also, Amorim isn't it, not sure why we keep persisting with this.
 
Thought it was an excellent first half - we looked tight and took the lead in what I thought was a top performance away from home.

Second half was abject - like a Ten Hag performance - but the rescue at the end neutralises all.

11 points from the last 15. Some good moments but some really worrying signs in terms of dropping back too much and offering no attacking threat.

Sesko nowhere near the level to trouble competent PL defenders yet. I’d rather have Mount in for the legs and technical ability and push Cunha up top.

If you’d have offered me 2 points from Forest and Spurs I’d have probably taken it.
 
Need to stop giving up my Saturday afternoons for football. I mean, irrespective of the result, how dire was that? How football became so boring I’ll never know.
 
Awful, awful game of football that, how it ended up with 4 goals is strange.

Should have been a comfortable win for Utd, but poor quality and long periods of lacking attacking urgency allowed a poor Spurs to gain momentum.

Attacking play was dreadful outside of Amad and Mbeumo.
 
2 points dropped.

Mbeumo was really good again and I thought Mount pressed well and kept possession well when he came on. Lemmens was really good also.

Sesko was piss poor with his chances.

Bruno was terrible in possession and with set pieces.

Cunha poor in the 2nd half and conceded possession far too easily.
Pretty much a copy and paste of last weekend.
 
Sesko is a concern. He looks incredibly slow and can't seem to shoot at all. Any decent striker would've buried that chance.

His injury could be a blessing in disguise . Imo zirkzee could do well with mbuemo and Cunha
 
They'll learn from the past two weeks. Next season that's 6 from 6.

Trust the process.
 
The meltdown in here was a joke. Yes we were bad second half but so many forgetting all the good stuff we did first half. They had two deflected goals and a man advantage through injury. Some of them probably gutted De Ligt equalised. We were the better team and the Spurs fans are absolute cnuts!
 
3 points dropped then a point gained. Mixed emotions. On the face of it, a draw away at Spurs isn't a bad result.
 
4 points dropped in two games, both games gave the lead away, not nearly good enough, you have to win the games like these to get into Europe, especially when the other team is missing its best players
 
Two opportunities to go second squandered with utter dog shit performances.

That second half was so poor.
 
Anyone have a clip of Sesko's chance in second half?

Mount did a lovely pass.

Spurs the better team so draw is lucky result.

We were actually second in the table for a while.
If he lets it come on to his left foot that tackle can't happen.
 
Awful subs. Taking Cunha and Casemiro off brought Spurs back in when we were in control
Cunha was shite. Casemiro going off lost us control in midfield. Also people on the match thread slating Dorgu, I thought he was quality today. Can’t change the agenda of some.
 
Wild ending to the game. It someone feels like 2 points lost but also 1 point gained. Fine margins, if Sesko scores we win easily. Instead he goes off injured and we're down to 10 and go behind.

We did really well to rally back and score an equaliser. Not a bad result if you said it would be a draw before the game.
 
Fair result. We're a top 8 team at best, but sometimes we'll look like a top 6 team.
 
Great response to going behind. Shocking second half. Bad subs. I'll take the draw after going behind. Team is showing character at least. Unable to keep clean sheets. That's worrying.
Totally agree on all points. This is a frustrating theme.
 
Two shit teams, and very lucky to steal a point.

However - 10 league games in a row to come without playing one of the 'big six' - so the fact we're in the mix having played them all gives some cause for optimism.
 
Spurs were there for the taking. Not for the first time we looked tired in the 2nd half, prone to falling apart....and yet we've salvaged a draw . Feels a bit of a missed opportunity. Concerned about the quality of the depth of the squad
 
Quite pleased with the performance, to be honest. Result depends on fine margins - Tel had a fabulous piece of skill for the first goal, Richarlison had a touch of his life for the second, Sesko should have had a goal at least - so not too unhappy with a point away at Spurs. What pleased me was Amorim's positivity this game after his extremely passive subs last time round. Amorim did everything he could to win this, our players did everything to win this. Lammens with a couple of good saves, don't think he could have done anything for the goals. We don't come back to equalize a few months ago.

Sesko needs to get into form, and we definitely need an upgrade in midfield and left wing back. Dorgu was good defensively, but he doesn't offer much going forward.

Good point, good performance.
 
Would’ve been a travesty to lose that because spurs did fecking nothing either. Yet some use us doing nothing as a reason why we somehow deserved to lose?

Well at least they had most of the ball and won most 50/50s and second balls. So is not nothing. It's more than us by some distance if you factor in duels and build up.
 
Should of absolutely battered this lot. They are extremely average. Painful to only come away with a draw.

The draw and almost loss is purely down to Sesko and Ugarte and Amorim for bringing these dreadful footballers onto the pitch.
 
Cunha needs to release the ball quicker. Spurs didn’t deserve the points, so glad we didn’t give them 3.
 
1 more point than we deserved, given how gutless the performance was against a dogshit Spurs team.

The decision to sub Casemiro continues to bite us in the ass. I don’t care he’s ancient, it’s the break next week, keep the man on.
 
Desperately unlucky to not win today. We had that game, we managed the match really well, defended really well but the narrative just completely went against us, like someone just turned a dial all the way to max. In such difficult circumstances, I have to praise the character of the team to get the equaliser at the end when we were down and out.

It’s disappointing how the last 10min went but a point is ok and extends out unbeaten run.
 
Unfortunate result - conceded two deflected goals and lost a player when all subs were done
 
We really have to stop being so passive and negative when leading matches. The game was there to be won in the second-half but we didn't go for a second goal and got what we deserved.

Great to see our renewed resilience though - that's two games we could easily have lost but fought back to take a point. Very happy with that.
 
We were unlucky to concede both goals despite playing poorly in the 2nd half. Their goalkeeper's poor positioning on crosses gifted us 2 goals.

Dalot still dozes a lot and Ugarte needs to go in the summer. Sesko has been disappointing despite my low expectations. Needs to improve his touch, speed of thought and ability to shield the ball better, especially when put through on goal.
 
Awful subs. Taking Cunha and Casemiro off brought Spurs back in when we were in control
Think Casemiro won’t be able to play full 90
Cunha took too long and I am concerned with sesko ability now, hope not a serious injury
 
Happy with the point. Awful substitutions brought spurs back into the game, but unlucky to concede 2 deflected goals. Sesko is not a deadly striker takes too long to finish and is slow sometimes.

Happy to see Richarlison's face when De Ligt equalised, once again takes off his shirt and celebrates like he's won the league for nothing!

Thought we turned a corner - this game makes me think we haven’t. Need to learn how to control games if we’ll have any chance of winning things again. Poor second half yet again.
