Joelinton is least of our worries today. Yea he’s been his normal self this season, but fundamentally we’ve been shit from word go. Slow with ball, making wrong decisions (i.e not releasing players quick enough) and just no overall control. These are a poor side and we’re allowing them to grow into the game. Should be bossing the possession and have them pinned back ffs.

How often have we got it to Wolte? Just terrible this. Need a lucky break.

Yet again, Elanga free and it turned down. We’re making him look poor and it’s annoying me.

Christ Joe. Fucking dog shit play.

I really want us to ditch this midfield trio. It’s peaked and needs a fresh look.

I don’t understand why Howe has got our wingers sitting central. Guess it’s to support Wolte, but when our full backs have no legs, its awful stuff.

It was an under hit pass to Elanga, what’s he suppose to do?

Trippier is Forest best attacker.

Trippier playing shit yet again. Careless pass, then just threw that straight to them ffs.

That’s a massive chance missed.

Already seeing early on we’re refusing to get ball outwide quickly to Elanga when he has space. Really need to snap out of it as it’s not using Elanga strengths.

Gordon has to stay wide. He can’t be coming inside against a three back three ffs.

Hopefully it’s just a tweak, but it’s yet another thing he needs to work back to fitness on. Going to need to role out Joelinton in full back at some point.

Outside of MGW, the main players I fear against Forest are on bench (Murillo for how he defends and CHO for his quality outwide). Hopefully we can kill this off first half.

The team we all wanted (Hall for Burn only change but we knew that wouldn’t happen). Be fun to see how it translates now.

Man City if they had any common sense would be swooping to seal Iraola and Semenyo for next summer. Perfect manager for them post Pep, and a much needed goal outlet from wide.

From watching Liverpool when they’ve been on TV, Etitike looks a far better player for them than Isak. Isak regularly wants the ball in the box, he’s not someone to drop deep and link play and be happy with that. Whilst Etitike is the opposite, he’s happy to drop and link play, and overall better at it. He’ll score some goals, but I really believe he’ll be 2nd choice this season as the preferred XI is settled upon by Slot. Just can’t do it yet as he’s a club record signing so has to try and fit him in. He’ll be an issue for him by end of the season, as you don’t spend £125m and like £300k pw wages on someone to be a back up, and neither does someone who’s on that is happy to be that.

Statement game needed today, so we can come back after the internationals with a real purpose. Giving how teams are playing, we should back ourselves top 4 this season, but we need to start hooking up the performances of old. Midweek was a start, and now we need to back it up.

Deserved and long overdue justice.

Murphy would’ve played that first time for Isak.

Think it’s a more “your benched because you was a twat last time”, rather then getting Isak up to speed.

Laws of averages say they should do.

We won’t win World Cup with Tuchel regardless, but issue for me (and whole point of why Tuchel hire was awful), is Wharton can play a significant part in the future and should be part of the squads right now and getting used to playing with Rice and Bellingham. Henderson has no future, but here we are.

When I say top class, it’s someone who’s established and 25+. With Hall / Tino / Acheam, they would be all under 22, so it’s a balance then for some experience.
