those setpieces are fucking killing us
Goal and an assist for Hojlund good game from him so far.

Amazing what can happen when you pass to your striker
- Yeah, Ericsson and Fernandez doing well getting the ball to the forwards. Just needs to happen more often
Nice to see our two main forwards linking up (albeit awkwardly). Hopefully that pair can get stronger over time, they have so much potential
Fair result, I think. You could see that second goal opening up when nobody was near Betancourt running into space. Lol

Scotty should've nicked it for us though.
If it ends 1-1 it's a net win. We're not creating anything, and Tottenham have another goal or two in them.
Grr off to a good start and then we let in a set piece goal. Really gotta improve on those
We really struggled in the second half in the midfield again. We lost so many 50/50s and let them run through us.
