Didn't make the first half count, most teams would be leading 2-0 at HT.

But our players are toothless in front of goal so when we go a goal behind it feels like game over.

I always feel when we play teams like Brentford and its level at HT then we are at risk.

Pochettino: “We played Liverpool and Arsenal and the team did really well. When you see this type of game like today or Nottingham Forest, we dominate but we can’t score goals when the block is so, so deep”

“There are many bodies inside the box and we struggle to score,

And agst those teams you need a world class player who can pick the lock and that is what we lack. We had Drogba and then Hazard who would do that for us in games when we never looked like scoring.

Who picked out Cucu?

Palmer?

We had a bunch of corners and most of them were garbage. That's something we should work on in training.

Palmer was very good again today though. He's the player who gives me hope we might score a few goals this season.

One where Silva put it across face of goal for everyone else to stare at was great

This is such a weird thing cos it's not just now - literally been seasons since we had a good corner taker. Like in the days of Frank/Terry/Drogba it felt like we could score from EVERY corner, I haven't felt like this for seasons. I don't understand how the coach watches every game and doesn't see this as a huge issue

We used to score so many goals from set pieces under Mou. Makes a massive difference.

We are not a big team, even with a good corner taker we are not going to score many front set pieces.

It’s true.

My point was more that even when we had legitimately great attacking players in our squad, far better than the current wastemen, we were heavily reliant on those dead balls for result-clinching goals.

So what hope do we have now. No longer getting bailed out.

Like we basically have to work twice as hard to score half as many goals.

Half of zero is zero

I actually think Poch is and has done brilliant

Just badly lack a goal scorer. We’re like mourinho first season back in 2nd spell before we bought costa

Just ain’t getting the results / sneaky wins as league is tougher

2 more goals for Bellingham against Barcelona

and Harry Kane scores from his own half (and a hattrick)

We've got Jackson

Ngannou making a Fury look like a fraud

They'll give Fury the win

Robbed because boxing

Fck off boxing, Ngannou absolutely killed Fury in this fight.

They were always going to back the boxer

They wouldn't jeopardise the fight with Usyk, too much money tied up in it.

Fury got fvcked up, everyone knows it was a corrupt ruling.

Yeah, expected. Too much money lined up. Surprised they even gave him the split

Let’s be real, Ngannou won round 3 cos of the knockdown but didn’t clearly win any other round, not that fury really did either but he still landed about 20 more punches

Fury was awful, under trained and caught by surprise. But Ngannou did not get robbed
