A moment of madness from our new keeper cost us the game. However experienced you are, there’s a human tendency in wanting to do well in front of your new fans. So, I’m not worried at all.
Taylor now the new favorite target for some now that Hourihane is not starting. I'm sure Hourihane would be getting pelters on here if he'd come on as a 93rd minute substitute...
I can only assume that Wesley is getting the stick because he hasn't scored yet. From what I've seen, Wesley is doing reasonably well in a new league, aged 22, and playing with new teammates and new style of play in a new country. Even from the Spurs game he was markedly improved against Bournemouth, and if he continues to improve at the same rate, he’ll be fine.
I find it ironic that people are mentioning Taylor’s miss (he shot on target) and barely a mention for Grealish’s free header from 4 yards that he put over the bar, or McGinn’s free shot from 12 yards that he volleyed straight at the keeper.
We missed plenty of legitimate chances in the match, but at least we were creating them.
We missed Hourihane’s set piece delivery massively. Yes, Luiz did well and deserves to play based on what we saw, but as one commentator mentioned, our set pieces yesterday were very poor. Not even a sniff of a chance fy of them..[/QUOTE

Yes,set pieces were poor although . Effectively two own goals cost us. I am a qualified referee and Mr Atkinson had a shocker. Major concern is how spurs and the cherries look physically stronger than us. Maybe leave out one of the wide men and play a 4-2-3-1 with the 3 Jack, John and Connor. All three have a goal in them.
