I never thought I'd be agreeing with anyone saying bring Sav on!! But you are 100% about Reindees and Sav will run at them/ provide width, and hopefully not lose the ball too much. Honestly today he will be an upgrade on reindeers.
Yeah, would rather it be Doku obviously, however under the current circumstances, I agree. And I'm far from Savinho's biggest fan.
 
Thanks to a virgin media fault, crashing all services, I can't watch anything. Was able to see the first 25 mins,

Sounds like I am not missing much
 
Some of you on here don’t know how football works. Decent possession but finding it hard to break down a very hardworking forest team. Be a totally different game if Doku and potentially Semenyo. Sadly Sav isn’t the answer, he’s too soft. Hopefully we can Ibag a winner.
 
A truly shocking first half performance and I don`t remember Foden giving the ball away so much. The number of times we could have crossed the ball into the area and we fuck about. Sorry but Haaland needs to find space.
Shocking ? I thought we've done ok against a highly motivated and well organised Forest team backed by some favourable reffing.
 
I would say we desperately need some width.

But I don't think this is the game for Sav. And they'll just kick the shit out of him and go down like they've been shot as soon as someone breathes on them. So I don't know what to do.
 
If Rodri is anywhere near fit then he needs to come on second half and start winning some of these battles in midfield.

Savinho also needs to come on and find some space out wide

At the moment we aren’t able to find either of our full backs up the pitch, but we’re still leaving ourselves short at the back by pushing them up so often.

If we just play a flat back four, and put Savinho on out wide, we’d be a lot better.
 
Only listening on the app, the Forrest fans been reffing the game. Dyke's patented anti football has stopped us getting any rhythm. Was there anything in the Cherki pen shout?

Anyway onwards and upwards against these clogging divers!
 
Competitive match against a physical and disciplined outfit. Move the ball a little quicker and we will win the game. Before kick-off, I selected Savinho instead of Reijnders and I haven't seen anything to change my opinion that we need a little more width. Still, that can come when the physical effort of the Forest players dips a little.
