Not to try and be smart after the event. But some of our results and performances don’t look quite so bad in hindsight.
 

Bournemouth are looking like a bit  of a monster at home. Outplayed us for the most part, beat Arsenal, battered Chelsea and somehow lost, easy win against Southampton. 2-0 against City with 20 to go. 
 

Brighton still winning at Anfield and should have been 2-3 up at half time. That first 35-40 was dominant against them and we still had chances we should have buried second half. 
 

Everton we know we should have won. Chelsea wasn’t great, but again, a close game. 
 

Hopefully we are finding our groove and can start replicating the home performances away. Or at least improving them, as we have not been good enough on the road for a long while. 
 

EDIT: The Brighton score went well  but my point still stands.

I think it was perfectly valid to ask questions after the Chelsea away loss and some criticism was deserved. However calling my for the managers head at this stage was a massive over reaction.

come as well

Yeah. I wasn’t really referencing the questions or people wanting him gone. More just my thoughts on the teams we have played and the performances we have seen in those games. Versus what those other teams have done since. 

We have had some poor, flat performances for sure and some questionable tactics, subs, lineups etc. But just trying to put some objective opinions up as best I can and not subjective.

It feels like we've generally been building momentum, performance-wise, since City.

 

Chelsea away aside, we've been much more like ourselves overall than the first few games and today was a culmination of the increasing competition as the squad's sharpness levels out imo. General application has largely been good, just certain combinations and/or sharpness haven't quite been there. We should've smashed Brighton, for example - that one still stings.

 

It feels like we have some better momentum now and more clarity about what we need to be for the foreseeable, even if there are a few selection headaches for Forest.

Yeah Hall was basically saying this in his match interview. Had been playing better but not seeing results.
