Nottingham Forest (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Make the substitution a minute earlier to replace Foden and Forest don’t equalise.
Massive 2 pts dropped
 
Weirdly not doom and gloom after that. I thought we played some brilliant football tonight and it was yet again just a little bit of sloppiness at the back and a lack of composure up top that cost us from winning comfortably. Got to give credit to Forest, two quality goals and defended for their lives.
 
Even worse......all the posts will be flooding in about Gibbs-Shite & Anderson.......on tonights showing Anderson would add nothing we haven't got, O'Reilly offers at least the same in m/f.
......need a goal, so take off the one player who could produce something out of nothing, Cherki....and put on Savinho, who actually manages to produce fuck all out of anything....words fail me why he's still even here.
it wouldn’t mattered who played against us today they had a free run at that midfield today
 
We are no longer getting the best out of Haaland....we create very little in terms of chances for him at all. This box formation we have to fit Semenyo and Haaland into the team isnt very good....solid most of the time but turgid and stale going forward...Semenyo cant play wide either by the looks of it....or Pep wont play him wide....not sure which
Never Haaland's fault.. Always the teams...

Perhaps the club shouldn't be giving him the highest wages in the world if he needs perfect circumstances to consistently make a difference.

The reality is the Leeds game was his only good one over a month and a half or two.
 
I was actually a referee in my younger days.
Haaland knocks it past the keeper and gets taken out. Textbook penalty. If donnaruma had done that I’d be annoyed at donnaruma for giving a penalty away. And then Rodri gets smashed after he has his shot (whilst the ball is still in play) anywhere else on the pitch and it’s a foul 100%.

The ball had already left Rodri's foot and their player really only went for the ball. He's obviously going to hit Rodri's foot if Rodri already kicked the ball.

No pen for me. All that tells me is if you were a ref, you'd make biased decisions.

As much as I'd love a pen right there, it wasn't and I'd be fuming if it was given against us.

Inconsequential contact apparently on big Rod
 
TNT 2 post match interviews...Anderson and MGW. Says it all about their coverage. Surprised there's no champagne corks popping.
 
The usual knee jerk shit on here following dropped points. All the players are shit apparently and so is the manager!

We played OK, not brilliant, but we controlled most of the game. Forest are fighting to stay in the league, so we were never going to have it all our own way and they were always going to have a go at some point. They scored two worldies. The ref was questionable also.

Shit happens, we move on.
Best post of this thread. Title race is definitely on. They will also drop points. We play the better football for sure!!!
 
If the officials did their jobs we win that game 4-2 and everyone praises a solid performance in a title run in against a team fighting for their lives. No desperation about it. 2 clear penalties denied
Rightly denied
The first falls into the category of extremely soft
The second isn't even close (Rodri one)
 
Mediocre one half performance finally matched by a deserved result. What else is there to say, this is just not a title winning team, short of creativity, short of industry, short of ability to control games - the number of meaningles passes in the MF that hikes up our possession numbers has been laid bare all season. I am not so hopeful as some others here, that it is going somehow to gel next season.
Same here , dont see some players making a huge improvement. Don't know whats the plan for summer , but a few very very good players needed in this team.
