Thought he did pretty well but what’s with his unwillingness to shoot.

Yeah it was the only downside to his performance - he only pulled the trigger when he had about 4 bodies in front of him. Aside from that, his carrying from midfield, the setting of the rhythm in attack (holding it when necessary) and some of his passing was fantastic - that one to Doku down the wing was sublime.

A powder puff shot that's like a back pass. Needs lessons off Kev. Good game though.

 

[East Level 2]

Could have been 3-3 had they taken their chances, but could have been 8-0 had we taken ours. Overall we were at least three goals better than them. Oliver wasn't as bad as he could have been but seemed to give them some leeway to make up for the difference in quality.
Crowd was up for it which was great and I quite liked the "Champions of Europe? You weren't even born." chant, which can also be used against Villa.
Newcastle's late equaliser was another little boost, it didn't rain going back to the car, and the rags lost again. Top night out really.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Great to see three well crafted goals last night.
KDB is truly one of the finest strikers of the ball I’ve seen. Thrilled for Jezza and Jack too.
I’d almost forgotten the words to “Singing the Blues”
Love this club.

Let's hope we have 2 cbs at least fit.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Yep. Much better - but you can tell the players are still frail from the injuries that they are having to play with. No other team could have done what we’ve done with so many injuries to first team players. Akanje & Ake clearly needed more recovery time but we had no cover with Stones being injured.

A good start on our road to recovery

And that is the issue....1 step forward, 2 or 3 back.

Players having to play out of position when semi fit, picking up futher strains, rinse and repeat game after game.

Ozzy Bob may return early in the New Year but we need elite ready to go reinforcements which is a bloody challenge.

It seems as if James McAtee & Nico O' Riley are only on the perifery of the squad.

Jack in midfield could be like signing another player...he's a handful and will attract & occupy oppo players creating space for KDB etc.

In order of importance -:
Pivot.
Goal scoring forad.
Right back.
Creative provider.
Centre back/Left back.

Two windows and £350 million will refresh and reboot us.

Do things wjen we can , not when we must, pragamatism not idealism !!

A much needed result, a great win.

If Doku and Grealish can do a job consistently, we could settle. Palace away is a test of what direction we're going in.

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Loved Grealish playing through the middle. We've got great wide options without him, and we need reinforcing in centre mid. Hope we stick with him in the middle. De Bruyne is just fabulous when he's on it. Some of the tikka taka was breathtaking. Mind you a few of the defensive errors made me hyperventilate too!

 

[Jazzyblue]

Best team performance of the season, if we are nitpicking there were times we were lucky Forest lacked accuracy, but the boys played out of their skins from the whistle and our support was very good. CTID.
