Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Shirley]

What load of shit.
Fucking sick of the same passive shit each week.
Sick of opponents having acres of space on our left.
Sick of players who can’t play a more than hour.
Sick of crucial errors
Sick of corners and free kicks never producing anything
Sick of shit average signings (looks like we are still making them)
Sick of 75% of the team not finishing the game where they started
Sick of slow play
Sick of the unwillingness to put an early cross in
Fucking Sick
They kiss top 5 on the arse

So sick…perhaps you need to see a doctor!

I thought we'd scab a draw today and we nearly did. Forest away isn't an easy place this season. The drop off in the whole team is astonishing though. A horrible season and I wouldn't bank on us winning the fa cup as consolation as on current form Bournemouth will batter us.

Watch Gavrdiol again - it's like he has a piece of elastic tying him to the goalpost.
His first instinct is to back-pedal - at a little over walking pace. At the the other end, you'd have seen a defender attack the man with the ball, making sure he engaged before the ball was in the area.

Can't really single out Gavrdiol, though - all our lot do it - it must be coached into them.

Never mind - perhaps the exact same defending technique and substitution mentality will suddenly work next time, eh?

We just pass sideways and backwards , have loads of possession with no reward. Reminds me of Arsenal under Wenger in the later years.

Exactly what I see too. Play some lovely stuff at times, but create very little against top sides and concede shit goals. We are a nice team to play against at the moment. Turned to my son when Kovacic and Lewis came on said "well that's us getting beat."

 

[Rory Bluelow]

I think pass pass pass football is dead

It is if you’re no good at it !

 

[Bluemoonie92]

15th defeat in the last 30…

Probably because we do the same shit every game

 

[Stelea]

But apart from that ?

I could go on. It’s astounding how far we have fallen. Pathetic!

 

[Gordyola]

We’re becoming irrelevant like Arsenal. They win the top at Christmas and best corner routines trophy. We win the most possession trophy. Unfortunately football has moved on from the slow build up. We’ve got players who can be direct but we rarely use them properly because Pep will crucify them if they lose the ball. How many times have we seen Haaland running on to a ball over the top? We must realise we aren’t the best team in the land and all the world this year but we haven’t adapted how we play accordingly. It’s such a frustrating watch at the moment.

How can Haaland run on to the ball over the top when they have 10 men behind the ball?

he still has a lot of credit in the bank

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Bollocks

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Pray tell when and where he is going?

His contract is up next year and he’s made insinuations about moving on before. Seems logical to look for successor, if the club has someone in mind it makes no sense to delay it.

 

[Beanhead]

doku

wow

you're shite , but wow, what pep see's in you is stunning

He was maybe our best player first half I thought.

 

[Roachy]

Nope. They hardly battered us

Irrelevant. They created and scored, we didn't.

 

[Stelea]

Any that’s the best we can offer after a week off!

 

[wolviedinho]

This team is broken.

Haaland completely ineffective.

Doku/savio no end ball or at least not consistent.

Midfield can’t pass a ball forward to save its life.

Khus is the only current bright spark.
Eddie typical stupid goal near post.

No proper full backs.

second/third rate midfielders. Rinse and repeat do nothing with the ball at all.

The tactics approach to games has not changed which is a worry. Asking inferior players to play in this way is part of the issue.

I love a good laugh at the rags but we have major problems.

This is not a pep out either. The whole thing is broken, dull and all very predictable. Any organised team will beat us.

The pep period of dominance is over for now.

 

[der bomber28]

Even without the pressure of midweek Champions league football to contend with. We still manage to turn in the same dull, drab and weak minded performances. Drop off this season has been astounding, we’ve become so pedestrian and predictable. Yes we’ve been ravaged by injuries, but it seems to be a mentality issue that’s killing us the most.

 

[HolisticJim]

It's one shit year in 6 or 7.

That said, once we subbed Nico and went back to the 'tried and tested' I said to my dad that we would lose.

You missed out winning 50/50s.

 

[paulsimpson]

Why that big dafford has signed a 10 year deal here i’ll never know.

What a fucking waste.

I smell Trafford off you

 

[superwatsonwatson]

Didn’t see one City player who played as though they wanted to win the game.
