We did not batter them. They went 2 up and sat on the lead, soaking up pressure.

Pumping crosses into the box against 3 physical CBs is not battering anyone.

Bloody heck, those stats?!
A bit skewed by fact Forest played very differently after going 2-0 up and protecting their lead for nearly 70 minutes.
But still, missing 4 big chances?! We should have got something out of this game

profspur.bsky.social•30 days ago

It’s not even skewed by that, because we created 2 big chances in both halves and dominated both halves in territory and xG.

mattyfrench.bsky.social•30 days ago

Forest are very good defensively. Somehow with both Micky and Cuti playing, we weren't

profspur.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well, they created very little. I don’t know how to account for the boneheaded and soft goals we concede with players in position behind the ball. Vicario on the hook for 2 relatively routine situations.

mattyfrench.bsky.social•30 days ago

That deflection for their first didn't seem to change the flight of the ball that much. I'd have expected Vic to save it

mightyhams.bsky.social•29 days ago

It was still a .05 xg shot aided by a deflection. Pretty unlucky that found its way in.

profspur.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah, I think he should have, as he got two hands to it and pushed it, but pushed it badly and into the net. Not easy but definitely saveable.

Porro just got a crazy high score on my fantasy, like match-winning performance the pundits are raving about kind of score. Weird game.

jarsenx.bsky.social•29 days ago

Could it be that our strikers can't strike!

profspur.bsky.social•29 days ago

In general I don’t think that’s a problem, but we sure weren’t clinical on the day.

This momentum chart on Sofascore is just baffling. Never seen anything like it.

jadaphoenix.bsky.social•30 days ago

Battered them on every way. The way that matters is what they did. Madness.

leftontheshelf.bsky.social•30 days ago

I mean it's fairly even until they got 2-0 up so game state matters that said so games we'd end up with at least a draw.

I bet Forest is close to setting the record for season expected points over performance. Spurs were clearly the better team tonight.

Is there a season total of big chances and big chances missed somewhere? We've got to be at the bottom of the table in conversion rate.

profspur.bsky.social•30 days ago

Last I looked we were actually toward the top, but that was a while ago, about halfway through the season.

coyshammy.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well, this effort sure brought down our numbers!
