Fantail Breeze Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Brilliant performance, our pressing and attacking play was glorious to watch. It’s only Forest, so won’t get too excited, but that was great. Howe seemingly coaching the best out of ASM, finally playing like a team player and looks 10 times better for it.

ikri Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very nice way to start the season. Feels very weird looking at the league table and not seeing us rooted to the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Quick look at their forum confirms they over marked their players. We're now a really really good Premier League side, they hadn't realised until today. They'll improve ( they have too) but that's as easy as it gets for us.

Numbers Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 2 minutes ago, thorin said: Let's just blame first game of the season to start off with and see how it goes. I'm missing a systematic pressing, cutting of angles and whatnot. 2 ppl running the same guy. A defending flat 5 in the midfield watching a through pass. Think it was better last season tbh. I had hoped we would evolve into something decent, can't keep blaming the players there. Pope hoofed the ball more than Dubravka tbh. I honestly dont remember Pope kicking the ball once, you're clearly on the wind up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Most complete performance I can remember, possibly ever. Every single stat ludicrously in our favour and I can't remember an opposing side failing to lay a glove on us like that before. Excellent game management and made to look like a piece of piss - this must be what a proper pre season can do versus last year's opener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It's absolutely dizzying to think about where this team is headed, Howe certainly appears to be the man for the job, the transfers are savvy, the fanbase is absolutely fucking rabid. The coffers are overloaded. There's no limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 With better finishing it would have been 4 or 5-0. The scoreline flatters Forest who are as bad a team as I've seen at SJP in a long time (and I include Brewcey's boys in that). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Couldn't score any of our players below a 9. Although I do think it mighty cheeky of Pope to take a nap through the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Brilliant performance and a great win, totally dominant. I thought Miggy was our best player quickly followed by Bruno. Joelinton was, well Joelinton. ASM was less huffy, more economical and looking to pass more. Wilson scored, but he was often isolated and anonymous which is a worry. As dominant as we were, we did struggle to break them down and I worry about that, we clearly need attacking players and particularly a playmaker. I fear we will struggle against teams who do a Forest with 10 men behind the ball unless we get those players, otherwise we may need to rethink going back to more of a counter attacking team. But that’s in our armour anyway and I’m sure we will continue to develop different tactics and game plans to suit whoever we play. Willock had a very good game and I loved how interchangeable we were in terms of players swapping positions and roles, basically we were very fluid and some of our play was brilliant, until we got to their box where it was often Wilson alone in there. But we fully deserved that win and if Forest set up like that regularly they will go straight back down, they were piss poor. Regarding our former old boy Colback, I thought he was their best player on and off the ball, never misplaced a pass, he did play it safe a lot mind, but tackled well and intercepted well off the ball. Lingard is clearly not match fit and did fuck all, but you could see in advanced positions his quality where he played a few key balls forward. I’m glad we dodged that one, however. All in all a great performance with some great football, playing much higher up, at a quicker tempo and we look super fit, united, organised, tactically switched on and every player is bang up for it, we cannot, however, rest on this, we need 2-3 extra high quality attacking additions badly. Well done Howe, his staff, the players and Wor Flags for the display. How good is it to be back, the sun is shining, we won and this promises to be an exciting season based on this display.

Mazzy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Forrest fans have certainly changed their tune. Only took them one game to realise half their players aren't going to be good enough. Alot of the time under Bruce and Rafa when we would win, opposition fans would moan that we were lucky or didn't deserve it. They seem to unanimously agree we are a European place chasing team.

STM Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I feel like saying Trippier and Bruno were excellent is pointless, so I'll pick another player out.... Willock, who I thought was tireless especially in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent game management and made to look like a piece of piss - this must be what a proper pre season can do versus last year's opener. Carried on from the Arsenal game. Clean sheets. Domiant. In the end the goals that reflected that. Two different level of opponents and we just carry on. The only issues was whether the footballing gods would allow us to score, the bit we can control, we've been excellent in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 We were absolutely dominant today, we didn't just have more quality than Forest, we had superior work rate and energy too. Absolutely delighted and Wilson's finish was insane, no right to score that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
