Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[ancoats]

If the players are tired this season why would next season be any different?

Genuine question.

Is the right question

The fans know something isn't right, Yes injuries have played a major part and burnout too, but something is not right within the whole setup, Pep is allowing 2nd best from his players and then saying it's ok to be 2nd best this season after the years we have had ??

Once any manager has admitted defeat what is the point ? I just don't get it and would Pep be saying that at Barcelona or would he be allowed to say that sort of thing before the end of the season.

Believe Me, politics behind the scenes are happening, things the fans never get to hear about, It's like a player failing a drug test but is put out in the media that it is a major injury and will miss 6 to 8 weeks wink wink, It's funny when you look back at Liverpool and Spurs and the so call asthma cases ? their players were flying every week then they dropped off, Also Pogba was banned for drug test failure But how many times was he reported injured at united ??

Something ain’t right…..Pep & players are devoid of ideas, no urgency or commitment

We were fine in the first half just lack that extra cutting edge same when we were at our dominant best. Nico's was a little unfortunate with his effort. Savinho had a little joy with Neco Williams but they did alter things.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

I don’t think Pep believes in “Play your strongest team”

 

[ysmsa]

I’d respectfully disagree. The way we collapsed and melted down mentally in the face of the slightest adversity in the derby, Feyenoord, PSG, Madrid, Arsenal away etc were failures of mentality and desire as much as anything else. All were bottle jobs
Did anyone genuinely expect anything other than a defeat today once we went behind?

That is the worry, are Nunes, Savinho going to dig deep, are they fuck.
They dissappear when it gets tough and the players we could rely on look fooked and bereft.

And we call the Tarquins….

We've set a higher standard then the tarquins mate..

We've been shite this season by our standards from pep to his no2 to the players.
We've got a much better squad even without injuries then most of the league..
Its all not right..

Without a creative midfield we’ve no attacking options, 2 wingers bring nothing to the table most of the time

 

[ysmsa]

Imagine him playing along side a quality right back, he’ll get better yet.

I would've just said "a right back"

 

[Marvin.]

Hard to believe that was 3rd vs 4th in the PL. A very ordinary Forest side beat a City side that didn't have any clear idea on how to win that game.

We still attacked and had a some joy in the first half with them.

[john blue]

No creativity in front of goal.
Can’t remember the Forest keeper having to make a save.
What’s happened to our midfield?

what midfield.

We need to find an el magico mk2..
Who though..??
Thoughts...

Pep could legislate for Gvardiol not shutting down the danger as quickly as possible or Eddy being beaten on his near post. Again he can't do their jobs for them in that regard. Nothing to do with his choice of subs earlier on.

Those 2 are not the reason we lost today, the play just before which lead to that ball was poor for from us.

Eddie made a brilliant save to keep it no score but wtf were the front 6 doing all game? Worrying how not one of them can get a goal scoring opportunity to Haaland.

If we didn't concede then Forest would have been more likely to fashion another chance late on, and take it.
We wouldn't have scored all day and night.

Positives?
Khusanov.
Worth watching motd?
It’s never worth watching when we lose.

We are looking at Winger Francisco Trincão from Sporting . 25yrs of age. Plays for the Portuguese national team . Has been with Barcelona 2020-23. . Sometimes fills AM spot. Currently in the league scored 8 with 10 assists. In all comps assists rises to 13 .

We have much too many players of a level who can play across AM/LW/RW and none of them are of the right level.

One of the main things that fucks me off is buying this sort of player when until Gonzo came in Rodders was like Michael Caine at Roakes Drift.

Stop buying AM's and get some fucking fullbacks in along with a proper box to box midfielder.

It was the sole reason. We were on course in getting a point.

None whatsoever,

And we wore the yellow kit which looked terrible in the bright sun and shaded areas of the pitch.

When playing red and white we should ALWAYS WEAR TRADITIONAL SKY BLUE.
