Tottenham Player Ratings vs Nottingham Forest (3\u20130)<\/p>\n
Thomas Frank\u2019s Tottenham once again struggled for creativity in attack, while costly defensive errors handed Nottingham Forest a comfortable 3\u20130 win.<\/p>\n
Guglielmo Vicario \u2013 2
\nThe Spurs goalkeeper endured a disastrous first half. One mistake was swiftly followed by another as he completely misjudged a Callum Hudson-Odoi cross, losing his positioning and leaving Tottenham exposed. A damaging performance.<\/p>\n
Pedro Porro \u2013 3
\nThe Spaniard was caught out of position as Hudson-Odoi beat Rodrigo Bentancur and delivered a cross that went straight into the net. Porro\u2019s absence on that flank allowed the danger to develop unchecked.<\/p>\n
Cristian Romero \u2013 4
\nHis aggressive approach offered little protection, with Forest capitalising on Tottenham\u2019s own mistakes. Spurs were largely responsible for their downfall in both halves.<\/p>\n
Micky van de Ven \u2013 4
\nProduced an important intervention when Morgan Gibbs-White capitalised on a loose pass from Xavi Simons. He also attempted to drive the team forward from deep, though he was powerless to stop the goals.<\/p>\n
Djed Spence \u2013 4
\nDefended solidly against Omari Hutchinson in the first half and showed willingness to push forward. However, operating as a right-footer on the left limited Spurs\u2019 attacking balance. Replaced by Ben Davies.<\/p>\n
Rodrigo Bentancur \u2013 4
\nShowed energy and commitment off the ball in the first half, but it failed to shield the defence effectively. Given time after the break before making way for Lucas Bergvall.<\/p>\n
Archie Gray \u2013 4
\nA difficult outing for the young midfielder. A costly first-half error was forced by Sangare\u2019s high press as Spurs tried to play out from the back. He had a chance to equalise before half-time, but it was saved. Substituted shortly after the hour.<\/p>\n
Xavi Simons \u2013 3
\nAfter encouraging recent performances, this was a disappointing display. He was careless in possession, repeatedly giving the ball away and preventing Tottenham from building sustained pressure.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Kudus \u2013 3
\nAttacks regularly broke down due to overplaying, allowing Forest to recover defensively. His crossing lacked quality, his dribbling had little impact, and it marked his poorest performance since joining Spurs.<\/p>\n
Richarlison \u2013 3
\nFailed to register a shot on target and struggled to link play or dominate aerially. Tottenham\u2019s blunt attack was reflected in his display.<\/p>\n
Randal Kolo Muani \u2013 3
\nIneffective overall, despite a few moments running at the Forest defence. He frequently held on to the ball too long, allowing the hosts to regroup comfortably.<\/p>\n
Substitutes<\/p>\n
Lucas Bergvall \u2013 5
\nIntroduced to add creativity after Bentancur\u2019s withdrawal. Saw plenty of the ball but was unable to influence proceedings.<\/p>\n
Jo\u00e3o Palhinha \u2013 5
\nReplaced Archie Gray and slotted into the holding role. Was on the pitch when Forest added a third goal from distance.<\/p>\n
Ben Davies \u2013 5
\nCame on as Spurs searched for a response. Offered limited impact going forward.<\/p>\n
Brennan Johnson \u2013 N\/A
\nIntroduced late against his former club, with the result already decided.<\/p>\n
Mathys Tel \u2013 N\/A
\nEntered in the final stages after Forest\u2019s third goal, replacing Kolo Muani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
