I reckon Tavolieri was ok when he was getting info from Belgium clubs on transfers, but he appears to have tried to followed in the footsteps of Romano of late and branch out into wider football news.
As a result half of the what he says appears to be absolute ********.

Re: Nottingham Forest tweet
Bit of a stretch to suggest a) the VAR official was biased and b) he was biased against Forest in a game vs Everton. Only 1 point between them as the game kicked off. Both eminently catchable by Luton, particularly as Luton still have Everton to play.

He's a pretty ginormous one, even with the cock ups. The team is much more spread out in possession and we can stretch the pitch and pass out (minus the odd cockup) to much greater effect.

Muric is a better goalkeeper for us than Trafford is right now. I suspect that might change as Trafford matures and gains experience.
No doubt Muric was poor today though. It wasn’t just the goal. His distribution was off.
