Nottingham Forest (H) | Sat 23rd Sept | PL | Post Match Thread

[Keeper!]

It was stupid from Rodri but the ref was desperate not to even it up.

Montiel and Origi both comitted stone wall yellow cards while on a booking and recieved no punishment.

He also waited until Grealish was playing Aké through on goal to call a non-existent foul.

Taylor was a fucking joke.

Nonsense, a moment of madness from a man usually so calm.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Can't complain about the red but thought forest were a bit naughty with some of their tackles. Poor refereeing

 

[jimharri]

I don't disagree. His refereeing performance is what led to our players losing it though, again. When have you seen Rodri act like that before?

Yes; the ref didn't help. But Rodri needs to learn from it. You can't rise to the bait. I'm guessing that, if fit, Kovacic may go into the DM role for the next few games.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Rodri was a fucking idiot but Taylor allowing a bunch of cart-horses to kick lumps out of us all game was the reason why there was so much animosity on the pitch.

It was a good win in the end with Forest creating next to fuck all even with an extra man for 45 mins.

The worrying thing is that midfield without Rodri. Nunes looks fine on the ball but off it, he looks a bit lost. Philips is Philips, looks completely out of his depth. We need Kovacic and/or Stones fit, and sharpish.

 

[Keeper!]

He had a few good moments but he would hold the ball to long and lose possession.

Not faulting his effort, he simply is way off technically

Heart still racing. Great city performance there. Very proud of the lads.

 

[Fordyboy46]

We would've won at a canter with 11 men, no arguments about the sending off fucking stupid from Rodri. Foden rightly motm, great game from him. Six out of six, what more can we ask for. Up the blues

Who wants to be the first idiot in this thread to say it wasn't a red

Don't worry, they'll be outnumbered by the usual negative idiots calling Rodri out; you know, the ones never to be seen when he does something great.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Thank fuck Forest can't score for shite.

Alti Fan doing Arsenal a favour again.

Saying that. At full time I thought that's why we're champions.
