Tottenham Hotspur is now safe from relegation and has no chance of qualifying for European competition via their arrival in the Premier League, so everything is rubber from now on. And that’s probably a good thing, because the Spurs dropped another home game today, this time by falling 2-1 at Nottingham Forest. The trees marked their first in five minutes and added a second halfway through half-time, then parked the bus and refused to defensively move the rest of the path. Richarlison went for the sole purpose of the Spurs of the match with five minutes to go on regular time, but Tottenham could not find an equalizer in time.
Oddly, take the scoring and it was a fairly decent performance of the Spurs. Tottenham dominated possession and almost all the statistical metrics of this one, but could not put the ball in the net; They got closer in the second half when a beautiful head of Dejan Kulusevski was inexplicably released from the line by the forest defender (and the character of Dr Seuss part -time) Harry Toffolo. Richarlison also saved a head, with one hand, by foresters.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Spurs obtained football ™ in this match. Fortunately, that doesn’t matter! Here are my matches of matches to the defeat, the eighth of the spurs at home this season.
Correspondence notes
- The score does not really tell the story of the match. Tottenham has played really well! They obtained the balloon forward and in the box on regular possession, controlling possession, then it was as if everyone had forgotten how to shoot. Forest sat down and parked the bus and from there, it was just a struggle to advance anything. Salts made some incredible stops, Tottenham missed a few guards, and that’s about it.
- lol … lmao

- You never like to see an early goal, but Anderson hit the morve, and it was a bouncing player with a bullet that jumped just on the hands of Vicario. He probably saves him if there was not so much mustard on it. Sucks, but honestly, what can the same be?
- The Spurs had the chance of Forest’s second goal was recalled for offside because it was another defensive depression and this would have been a horrible objective to concede.
- So the Spurs just waited for Chris Wood to mark a cross header. This was all vicario, which was not decisive in the opportunity to rush to challenge the cross and arrived too late to prevent the header.
- Honestly, I don’t think the forest was tearing us away as much, the ball just became a goal and, again, Watchagonnado?
- Whoever thinks that Ange does not adjust his tactic – for a while in the second half, he played with two attackers! Two! At the same time! Up! Together!
- I saw it enough for me to be very happy to buy such this summer. Maybe not for 50 million euros, but yes, of course. Get it.
- So, so happy for Richarlison. He had a great chance saved, another cut shortly and finally obtained his goal.
- I could spend a lot of time analyzing this match, but honestly, do we care? Forest Ball Go Gobt, Tottenham Ball Not Go Gobt. Spurs were footballers, but the result is literally not important. These are dead rubber matches from now on. It is literally unnecessary to go crazy about it, it doesn’t matter at all.
