Nottingham Forest (H) | Sat 23rd Sept | PL | Post Match Thread

Disagree with being best team.

It was glaringly obvious that without the likes of gundo we struggled to manage the game out. But did i know.
The fact pep flooded the team with defenders told us that the midfield wasnt strong enough

Forest are all about winning the ball back in transition and countering. Going to that formation wasn't pretty but it removed their threat completely and allowed us to comfortably see out the game for the whole second half with 10 men. Pep absolutely did the right thing in the circumstances.

It won't matter we had to park the bus against Forest at home for a half at the end of the season just that we got 3 points.
 
Happy with the win, but frustrated with losing our cool like that. Needless and fucking daft.

I think we can beat any team in this league with or without Rodri, but I'd much rather do it with ffs.
Maybe a bit of fatigue?

We looked leggy after 20 mins

Hopefully Stones and Kovacic can get back to fitness for Arsenal away. He wouldn't have played midweek anyway and we hopefully will have enough for Wolves.

We got the three points and that's all that matters. We were very very good in the first 20 minutes and took the foot off the gas, Something which we tend to do especially after a Champions League game midweek so it's completely understandable.

Rodri had a moment of madness which is completely out of character, Gibbs White knew what he was doing going to ground holding his face the fucking shithouse, It's a red card and won't be over turned if we appeal it.

The rest of the game we dealt with anything that was thrown at us by Forest, We are so well drilled it's brilliant to watch how defensively solid we are as a team.

Fair play to Ederson also, That save from Elanga was outstanding.
 
Rhodri had a moment. As far as I'm concerned that guy can turn into prime Vinnie Jones for a game and get a pass from me. He's got a lot in the gratitude bank at this club. He will be a miss for Arsenal. The other 2 games won't be consequential in the grand scheme of things.
Nice to see us hold out well and should have had a 3rd. Forest were thugs.
The biggest disappointment is not seeing us put 10 past those inbred cloggers!!!!
