Nottingham Forest (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[OldhamBlue94]

I urge you to go on any teams forum. Its full of threads talking about pens they should have had and how things could be different.

Even Arsenal fans will be thinking they should be further ahead and would pinpoint decisions as to why they're not.

That's what football fans do.

Ultimately we have 90+ mins to win a game and didn't.

If the officials did their job we win that game 4-2. It’s every fucking week we get done over

 

[Ken92]

Lacklustre performance until Savinho came on. Nobody took responsibility to make things happen, everyone too content to turn back and recycle the ball and hope someone else does the magic.

Yep, both our full backs just turn back and it all starts again. Nobody is taking on their players or overlapping. I definetly like a formation with 2 wingers, but that recuires 2 very good wingers , which we dont have.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

One season wonder foden, over hyped and has no spacial awareness as a attacking midfielder. Get a price on him now

"One season wonder"? Have you been a blue for one year? FFS!
Whilst he was fuckin awful tonight and has been since Christmas, other than last season,he's been fuckin exceptional in the 5 or so seasons before that, so don't give us that one season wonder shite!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Fact of the matter, if we are really honest, is that we haven't looked like we are champions all season. Loads of things to be positive about, lots to work on. Arsenal should be out of sight.

 

[Blue Hefner]

A lot of the same issues we have V Leeds. Passing was poor, wrong pace, wrong foot, wrong choice etc

We’ve gone from having loads of midfielders who can run tackle and score to having hardly any who can do that

A disappointing result but no real hard luck stories. Forrest were well worth a draw

 

[normskih]

Really disappointing but remember the Sunderland 2-2 game in 2012 (different circumstances in that we came back after a great Balotelli cameo) but we came away thinking the league was gone. A lot can still happen. Credit to Forest.

Didn’t we lose 0-1 to Arsenal and Mancini said the title was over?

 

[East Level 2]

Darren England should get a medal when Arsenal are handed the trophy.

Yep, he failed to feed Haaland, failed to tackle Forest players and failed to work the Forest keeper.

 

[Ajm1985]

Oh, yeah obvs would love that

Was trying to be realistic

Me too, we should be battering teams but keep on hindering ourselves

 

[Gray]

Donnarumma 7
Nunes 4 Dias 7 Guehi 5 Ait Nourri 6
Rodri 7 Bernie 7 Foden 3
Cherki 5 Semenyo 6 Haaland 5

Very generous mark for Foden.

 

[eyalluvitt]

We're crap mate, tarquins are crap too in their own way but our football is slow and boring.

Will be the worst champions since us who managed to capitulate to Ten Haags galacticos at Wembley the week after

 

[Blue2202]

There are some remarkably ridiculous emotional posts so far.

Had that last second chance gone in everyone’s cocks out and pep’s a genius. Fine margins.

Actually thought we played really well in general.

But, you have to kill games off when on top. Too many times this season we haven’t done that. Needs to improve.

I’m not one to moan about refs but that **** was beyond bent.

We all know it doesn’t matter how well you play at this stage of the season, it’s about the results.

We’ve failed to keep the pressure on Arsenal and tonight will be remembered for us dropping it out of our own hands - not because apparently we ‘played well’.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Donnarumma 7
Nunes 4 Dias 7 Guehi 5 Ait Nourri 6
Rodri 7 Bernie 7 Foden 3
Cherki 5 Semenyo 6 Haaland 5

Yeh, not far off right. Guehi’s worst game for us, poor night for Nunes, and Foden just looks lost

 

[MMA]

"One season wonder"? Have you been a blue for one year? FFS!
Whilst he was fuckin awful tonight and has been since Christmas, other than last season,he's been fuckin exceptional in the 5 or so seasons before that, so don't give us that one season wonder shite!

Love Phil.
But he needs to find his bollox fast..
Because he's definitely lost them.

 

[Burtonblue]

Fucking hell!
Is this still the match day forum???

Give your heads a wobble fellas.
It’s not the end of the world and no the league is not over yet.

Disappointing but we go not have a God given right to win every game.

 

[CatMan]

Seriously, who cares? If you are a true City fan, you will have long since realised the club you once loved is long gone. Stolen from under our noses and now whored out as a money making franchise employing mercenary players. While you travel back home after spending a fortune on your ticket, food and parking, them players will are getting a rubbed down whilst checking their socials, and that's all before fixing their hair and putting on the rolex watches. Do you really believe that any of them seriously give a feck about you, that club, or that result tonight? Not a feckin chance! Every single one of them is me, myself and I, and even before you are home to your bed to spend the night reliving the soft goals conceded and the lack of chances taken, the club's bean counters will be sifting through their fan spend analytics to decide who are the next batch of legacy fans to turf out and one day replace with people who couldn't find Manchester on a map.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Credit forest, great fighting spirit.

We were too passive. Some very sloppy passing. Foden should be coming off the bench with his form. Hes still not able to run the game, and that fukn hand bandage does my head in.

Any other game that haaland/seles incident is a penalty. But we all know we are playing 12 men most weeks, even more reason why we should be more careful with the ball.

Title still on, Arse will be twitching like fuck when we get down to 4/5 games. Although this feels like it is our last chance.

Coming off the bench at Edgeley park

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Apologies. I just thought it was a real refreshing game of football. Both teams fighting for the points. We gave it everything to get the winner, Forest defended for their lives. Yes we should have won, yes we now need Arsenal to slip up, but play like that regularly and we will canter to the title next year and never say never this campaign either. Got it all to play for still.

I agree mate. I was just joking, as every time we drop points there is a general sea of negativity on here, and the mob won't like that you have posted something positive, as everyting is shit apparently.

 

[chickaroon]

Savinho did more in 10 Minutes than Foden did in 60

Yes he did.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Our average lvl of play has dropped significantly the last couple of seasons. There can be a few very good games from time to time, but not often enough.

Very fair.
I do not go into any game (apart from Salford) feeling really confident now or winning the way we used to with a decent goal margin. A few seasons ago it was the norm.

Don't think that's far off at all. Ait Nouri maybe a 7. Semenyo's goal gets him a 6 - without it he'd be in Foden 3 territory.
