I don't think we have played that well but have scored two excellent goals. I suspect we will have to score another to win the game. Rogers grew into the game and Maatsen is a real threat.

Bless the Lord Tuchel dropped Ollie from World Cup squad as it has given him the kick up the backside he needed.
Watkins appears to have refound good pace and positioning.

We gave Blunderland far too much space before they scored: 4 defenders there and 2 opponents on the edge of the box unmarked. Poor ball-watching and intensity.

Maybe it's a case of he's over the injury that's been hampering him as he looks so much quicker.

It would be nice to see Everton and Forest turn things around.

Yes, Mings took up the right position for the cross Maatsen was poor and Tielemans and Barkley just watched.

Mings should be benched before the inevitable but Emery will wait for the sixtieth minute, midfield looking light on,Watkins has been waiting for that kind of service all season, he is really leading the line well today.

Yes and no to Forest. Obviously any human being with a soul who lives outside of N17 wants Spurs to go down, but we don’t want Forest comfortable in the league when we play them. We would be better off if they considered playing a weakened team.
