The College Dropout

I don’t think it’s effort. Tonali is a high effort player. I just don’t think he’s found his path to balancing the midfield. That RCM position doesn’t work for him. He’s definitely much improved through the middle. Gets loads more of the ball. More passing options.

It still looked good with Gordon out there. Gordon is a bit of a weird player in terms of relationships with others. I don’t think he has a great relationship with anyone. But he himself is a danger at all times. We look best as a team with Willock in the side undoubtedly

We looked sharp and stronger through the middle when he came on.

Yeh. Problem was - it wasn’t a foul. As he gave it as a foul - it then is likely a yellow imo. Guess a soft free kick was the best decision. Burn won the ball first but he did follow through to take out the man. If that’s the ruling it’s only a foul no yellow. If he doesn’t think Burn wins the ball first it’s a yellow card foul and he’s wrong. Ref let Forest get away with loads of those though.

Worst decision was the elbow. VAR should’ve pulled that one up. It’s the fact he looks at him Tino and then lands a flying elbow.

They looked great there at the though. With Sandro central. Joelinton RW. Bruno doing whatever he pleases. It’s just that Longstaff is also the glue. I wanted to see Longstaff off with Tonali central and Bruno rcm. What we got was Tonali and Longstaff central and Bruno doing whatever he wanted to do. Which was Marvellous.

Thought he struggled a bit in the first half. Or until MGW came off. Defensively he struggled with the pace of the Forest counter. When he got pushed forward and MGW came off he was brilliant.

Same. actually that’s not true. I’m not able to capitalise off good decisions and maybe missing out on the biggest decisions. Keeping Haaland and not having Salah has been the worst decision. I don’t think Foden was a bad decision but should’ve taken him out by now. Kept DCL too long. Kept Trent too long. Dalot in this week was a good decision. Dont know why he came off at 57 minutes but a 1 pointer feels devastating when 6 was a lock. Second choice is Mazroui(sp?) he looks to be getting 7 points. Typical bad luck I’ve been getting. Been too hesitant to take a hit. I might take a -4/-8 this week. Get Salah, Joao Pedro or Isak, Saka. At least I’ll like my team.

Tonali for Willock but pushing Bruno right up really worked. Almost a 4th.

3 points. Barnes. Tonali assist. Pure sex.

Isak has ran his race again. Don’t expect Osula to come on.

Left foot beauty.

BIIIIIIIG JOE

It’s no coincidence we look a better team with Willock. Maybe it’s to preserve his legs but he was great again.

Not that bad mate. Chill out.

Willock off???????

I thought Isak would score.

Burn sailing close to the sun. We need Tonali’s athleticism so bad for that counter. Eddie finally making the move. I think it’s just the time for it. Which makes me think he does RCM rather than Central

We’ve not looked lethargic aye.

Ryan Yates could’ve been sent off three times in this game.

It’s not Eddie’s style to make a change in the game because of something that’s not working out there on the pitch. Unless a goal is conceded or a pre selected change time is now.

Would like to see Tonali at DM to try and cope better with the counter.

Genuinely would do best with Tonali at DM here though.

Legit that’s not Eddie’s style. We should know this.

I felt that as well
