It's honestly inevitable imo   Worth chucking a fiver on it to ease any post match sorrows

Real pisser we have let them get to half time to regroup on level terms. Just zero end product or even approaching it so far.

And that's with Wilson and ASM up top, no one can blame Wood for that. Definitely need another attacker in, whether that be Maddison type player or Werner/Dennis type.

 

But having said that, on another day that ball across the box could fall to Wilson instead of ASM and we'd be 1 up now.

[SUPERTOON]

Thought trippier was poor that half.

Harsh on Miggy. Done everything right today.

wat. Made some good runs, but very little end product as usual.

[r0cafella]

Wilson is an off the shoulder forward, I’m not sure what people are expect exactly. 

[Collage]

Dominating but soft in the final third so far

[STM]

How Eddie has turned these players into this team is astonishing.

[McCormick]

Love how Maxi is passing the ball a lot more. 

[xLiaaamx]

Feel like they've come for 0-0 

[Guest HTT II]

We need a CF who can hold the ball up and also play in behind, a traditional CF.

[nortoon]

Joelinton looks like that overgrown kid who grew too fast and can bully everyone else, Almiron looks like a 17-year old playing against pensioners.

 

We are controlling it but we do lack a bit against the sides who just sit back. Almirons running is very effective with Bruno's passes but the balls he puts in has to be better.

His movement and crossing have been generally excellent. Looked far more of a threat than Maxi on the other side.

[Guest HTT II]

Anderson to come on to get the winner…

[Guest reefatoon]

They have plenty of bodies back mind, they are not making it easy.

He's made about 4 interceptions already, thought he's been OK otherwise

[Shush]

We absolutely need a striker and right winger of high quality. We have nothing on the bench that can improve things attacking wise.

Not soft. Just playing against a side who are defending for their lives. We have to get used to this.

[Dr Jinx]

Forest have given us far less to worry about than I’d thought to be honest. I agree with someone’s earlier comment, we could do with them pushing us more, as we don’t seem to know what to do with all that possession.

[McCormick]

Joelinton’s biggest weakness is striking the ball. How was he playing as a striker before

1-0 Forest aaaaall owa this like

[Stottie]

We've dominated possession and got the ball into good areas. Plenty of shots and should really be ahead.

We need to get more targets in the box to create bigger chances. Set pieces have also been poor.

 

[Ikon]

Lacking cutting edge. Otherwise good.
