Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The best thing we can do is admit the team
Is not good enough.

No excuses. Face the fact it’s shit and anyone who can’t improve has to go.

Anyone.

Don't do that and we are no different to the rags. Earn the right to dominate again.

Excuses will only make the task that much harder.

It’s over.

Get 115 out of the way and khaldoon has some tough decisions to take.
absolutely ,it´s time to admit that this team is not good enough to win titles and it wont change next season unless city gets 3-4 very good players in.
 
There's some right entitled slapped arses on here ,if this continues we will just become the next scum WE CARNT WIN EVERY YEAR give your fucking heads a shake and support pep the team and the people in charge and if you carnt do that FUCK OFF
 
Pep’s refusal to ever sub out Haaland is downright pathetic. His performance, work rate, and body language were embarrassing. Send a fucking message that it’s not good enough. I get he’s working with scraps at times, but even then he was on his heels whenever there was an opportunity to get it into him.

Same for Gvardiol who’s passing and defending continues to be below par. Ederson, too.

Please make no mistake about it, we’re in a top four/five race.
Don’t be stupid, body language ffs! Haaland isn’t the problem, Bernardo, Foden, Savinho, Doku created absolutely nothing for him. I’ve noticed you repeat this opinion quite often.
 
How can Haaland run on to the ball over the top when they have 10 men behind the ball?
When we win the ball in midfield our first thought is to recycle it backwards and sideways. I’m not talking specifically about today but we never seem to look up and ball a risky ball forward in case we lose it. We don’t have that - if you can’t win a game don’t lose it attitude - because Pep has rarely managed a team who need to do that. Forest’s goal should never have been scored and I’m not talking about Eddies atrocious goalkeeping. Fantastic pass by Gibbs-White but why was Hudson-Odoi all on his own in a wide position, 8 minutes from the end of the game before he cut in and scored? If we actually gave a shit about defending (like Khusanov does) this would not have happened.
 
A dreadful performance, absolutely no goal threat all match. Sideways and backwards all game. Bernardo is finished along with quite a few others.
Regarding Forest, if they're the third best team in the league I'll show my arse in Burton's window, they're shite. I think the league is going full circle when the tactics of Pulis and Allerdice gets you the result.
Michael Owen said something the other day. I know I know. But I tend to agree with him. These days you don’t have to be technically a good footballer. Just fast strong and fit. There’s countless players playing now that are like this. Keep the ball all you want and pass it round but opponents now have sprinters who will catch you on the break and hurt you. This is the answer to we’re way we play football and it’s working especially this season teams know how to play against us. Not a chance they’ll go toe to toe in a game of football
 
That’s it 100%
People can moan about tactics, subs etc but the truth is half the squad is either past it or not the quality we need.
It amazes me the overreaction every time we play, like we’re gonna just flick a switch and suddenly those players that are too old are gonna turn back the clock and the players below quality are suddenly gonna become world beaters.
This is gonna be a slow process unfortunately.
If there’s any blame to be had it’s on the board for letting us get in this situation.
Sooner we accept the situation the better.

Pep, board, players have all done more than we could have dreamed. They got rightly applauded for their superb work.

Now tho, they deserve the criticism.

Honest conversations as to where the team is heading and who are the right people to take us there.

Watching us play is painful.
 
This is not important, but i legit thought we were pretty good defensively for most of the game!
Seriously?

They got in our box twice, hit the post and scored with the other.

We were fucking toothless so they had no reason to attack.

No one comes out of that well today.
 
I will not join the part who support a new manager, but something needs to be done, have the coaching team changed before this season? Have we lost our offensive and set pieces choches?

But I agree on the lack of aggression and pressing is totally gone. Agree that we don't use Haaland as we should but think that's the missing of a type KDB player on the pitch, no fullbacks whats so ever and no end balls from our wide players, no running in the box from our central defenders,
We can't take our defensive midfielder out we lose the controll the next second
 
We want a final product ? Doku can look good on the eye but what is he offering

He is a mixed bag, that is for sure, sometimes unplayable, sometimes a bit of a mess. If you are asking what is he offering there is a kid that gets more game time than him who offers zero but keeps getting opportunities…
