Nottingham Forest (N) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[thegoatsthegoat]

I thought grealish was pointless

Playing him after using him for about 3 minutes in the last 4/5 games was the weird thing for me. In them other snippets recently, cameo against Bournemouth, scoring against Leicester it is an opportunity to build on that confidence, Pep seems to stop him in his tracks to not build any momentum. Then he plays like Saturday, after very few minutes and people demand the world from him

As well praised in post match and man of match threads, Bernie, Nunes, Josko all had brain farts or misplaced passes that could totally mess up the result more than twice in city’s own half court in the second half. The second half could easily become a game against Fiyanod on another day. Theses players were over confident when the taking the ball at back and panik quick when the press was really high. Kova bailed quiet some messy passes from team mates out but A lot of improvement needed to be done to resist high press in our own half. Good thing is that Lewis improved a lot in controlling game. If this was November Lewis, the game would have been lost. Lewis seems grown stronger as well.
BTW, Foden was a total passenger since sub on. Not sure what’s going on. He should be better than this. Grealish had a good game. Gundo lively since subbed in. Oreiley defends better than Josko already.

........but apart from all that you enjoyed the match

Foden's heads gone i think. Actually looks bored when on the pitch...srrange to see such a talent look so down on the pitch...

Definitely looks like a case of burn-out with our Phil. No longer looks like he’s enjoying playing and nothing he tries is coming off for him. It reminds me of when he’s under pressure to perform for England - he tries too hard and then nothing works. The talent is there in spades, but his head hasn’t been right all season. Hopefully the club can help him back to peak form. It’s been a season to forget for Phil.

Superb from Pep. He played no centre forward and the two tree trunks had nobody to mark, instead he split savinho and Marmoush and played a box midfield with Rico and jack at the front, we never lost control of that midfield and I think we were miles the better side despite their breakaways which seemed to stem from our mistakes.

Yeh can't get my head round how shit he's been

He's not well. Should not be anywhere near the team

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

He's coming back slowly, Pep said, and will be back.

I'd trust that

 

[ancoats]

He throws his arms further back when he realises that the ball is going behind him. A penalty.

Did VAR really look at it?, From the replays, it's a stone wall pen and a possible red card because, like you said, He throws his arms further back knowing it's going in

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Yeah its a penalty, hits both hands and the second hand stops it going into the net

 

[chesterbells]

If they want to do that, they need to open the cup schemes up to members next season. It won’t happen this season. I’m not convinced the club care who goes to Wembley or who doesn’t though to be honest.

Looking at PL ticket prices for members compared to Cup games, I for one would join up to that scheme in a heartbeat.

 

[Bluethemaway]

In the Blue rule book, it's not worth looking at by VAR

In the Red rule book, it's a stone wall pen and a red card all day long

I was going to say different rules for different teams, but I like your version better ancoats.

 

[eastmanc]

Do they have a Balon Dor winner out. Do they fuck.

Forgot to add and a player out who should have won the Ballon d’Or.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Was in Middleton for midnight

Does Prince William know ?

 

[eastmanc]

And he is also a pofaced plonker!!

Is that that record by Lady Ga Ga.;-)

Yes absolutely. I was sleeping when the match was on and I watched the YouTube full match with composure after work. Brain fart happens every match and it is the game’s unpredictability that makes excitement. Good ting is that the team now have some composure and the luck comes with it.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Wow, Steve so out of touch. Usually he is bang on, way off the mark here

 

[cityboy2602]

Hopefully this link gets round the firewall, otherwise one of you clever chaps will need to do that thing where you provide an alternative link. Good article, shows how and why we've been playing like we are since Haaland's injury

We had two brain farts against Forest and got away with it. We had two in the Etihad Derby and gave the rags an undeserved win. Moral of the tale don't fart about at the back.
