Cheers! I shall add "aggressively" to the list of things that it wasn't.

Seriously?
MGW was allowed to be fouled
Brennan had studs up to Danilo off ball
The punch that wasn't
Elanga frequently cleaned out
CHO fouled at the touchline
Foul on Neco
and then opposite that we get yellows very easily for things they didn't.... in fact there was also a perfectly good tackle that got punished..mmm that sounds familiar!
Whether he lets a bit of aggro happen is up to the ref but then allow it for BOTH sides and give yellows to BOTH sides for the same thing.

What I don't see here is asking for a card?!?!??
Good post. Some of us had us to lose this one - I don't see that we've lost anthing, per se. As long as we still have our firepower intact, I see no reason why we cant take the game to Wolves next week, seeing as we have a good recent record against them and Taiwo may be back on the bench. And it is really 50/50 though - us against Luton. That is a really good bet, as the bookies will attest.
Of course, if Nuno goes back into his shell, then all bets are off.

There isn't such a rule.
Tickling someone's tummy doesn't qualify as violent conduct.

I'd like to tickle you.

I thought I saw Morgan feeling his upper leg at some point in the first half. It's possible he isn't 100% there and so as part of his cooling down routine he needed the ice to help heal so he could still stay watching the game. It could be routine, or it could be an injury he's picked up today.

think the key word there is aggressively. There shouldn't be an issue with the captain asking the question, even if he is a player involved in the incident imo

I was hopeful of a point, but not particularly expecting anything. Disappointing second half and we certainly didn't help ourselves but it was always going to be a big ask to get something today.
Man City aside, I feel that points in all of our remaining games are achievable, though we could really do with bucking our ideas up away from home against Everton, Sheffield United and Burnley.

There was always a 90 per cent chance that we'd lose this one. The 10 per cent depended on us taking all our chances and getting the rub of the green. We didn't and we didn't. It is what it is.
But we gave a reasonably good account of ourselves and were by no means humiliated. We keep our chins up and we move on to the 2 games that will probably define our season.

I thought the difference in quality was the difference at the end of the day.
We sold our best or one of our best or best players to them who is not their best player!

Maybe because "believing a bit more" is not enough to bridge the gap between a side that spent a quarter of a century outside the top flight and one that has been embedded there for all of its history. We're at a massive disadvantage against "these teams" and it's just reality that we will lose most of our games against them. The real issue for us is why we have been so poor against the sides we should be able to beat: the Lutons, Burnleys etc.

Spurs' 2nd and 3rd goals were quality strikes. Great technique shown by quite excellent footballers. Both players wouldn't have even considered Forest when Spurs signed them. It's almost as though they're playing in a different League to us.
That we were able to match them in the first half was a positive. Unfortunately you have to take your chances, and we didn't.

First half was decent, should have gone into the break 2-1 up and a man extra on the pitch. But you know we didn’t. 2nd half two good strikes but questionable defending. If Murillo scored that first half I actually wouldn’t have cared if we lost haha.
Plenty of positives and some negatives game a good account of ourselves - Everton deduction tomorrow. Will spice bottom of table up.

I don't think there's any doubt that we seem to be daunted by big occasions. It could be due to having a fairly young team but it's definitely there. Yes our opponents have squads assembled for 3/4/5x what ours cost but it's not just about talent, it's about mental toughness too and in the second half tonight we didn't look like we believed we could win.
Old Trafford aside I don't recall a game against one of the established 'Sky 6' where we've gone at them from the off. It always seems to take us 20 mins or so to realise we're not up against genetically modified mutants and that we deserve to be sharing the same length of grass as them.

Neco was visibly f**ked. On a yellow as well. I guarantee if Nuno had left him on and he picked up a yellow with as a result of a tired, lazy tackle or pull back cos he’s out on his feet, people would have given him pelters for not subbing him.

As much as it hurts, i agree. Good goals both

Well, when we came up last season SC tried to play a relatively expansive game. We got absolutely slaughtered because it was naive to think that we could go toe-to-toe against much better players. 'Going at them' sound easy but at this level you can find that the game is over after 20 minutes and you're then just trying to save face.

They were just a bit better than us in both boxes. Been one of the stories of our season (alongside shit refs).
