Sibierski Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Great start, looked bloody good first 10 minutes. Then soon as Forest upped the intensity, we’ve gone missing again. Unable to control the play and turned it into yet another scrappy game. Just doesn’t feel sustainable when games are often turned into this. Half Time rejig because of the Willock sub, calm heads, and we should get back in control against this Forest XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Tonali - we have missed you. Makes the game look so easy. Mixture of Scholes/Pirlo with his plethora of passing in that half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Pretty even overall but we created the better chances, some players still look a bit lacking in concentration & fitness, bitty and expect this is not going to be the last time we play like this away from home this season.

LiquidAK Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Bit of a sluggish performance, but a few bright spots. Think Barnes has looked lively, and Sandro has pinged about some lovely passes. Some encouraging things there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Absolutely loving Tonali. What a massive upgrade on Longstaff, his brain and skill is miles ahead. I kind of wanteda new RW more. But i can see why we are desperate for Guehi. With Schar out of the teams our passing out from behind is dreadful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Another poor performance but at least we are winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Every team we seem to.play are quicker, retain ball better, more aggressive and press with purpose. We look lethargic and no ideas most the time. Need to try and get a hold of games more, started well in this but then dropping too far back again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Just now, Disco said: Lucky to be 0-1 up given the team. You just know a real RW like Minteh or Steve Wraith would tear them apart. Hall would drop his arse when he found out Wraith knaas the Krays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) I actually think Hall is one of the better players on the pitch so far. Edited August 28 by Toon No9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Pleased to have the lead but we've been rubbish in possession. Miggy and Sandro 7s, everyone else nowhere near really. Isak has been absolutely shite aside from the goal involvement - couldn't trap a bag of cement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Absolute guttner for Willock, he was looking so good and showed us just how much we've missed him. Really hope it's nothing serious. Thought Barnes was good, Tonali showed loads of promise, Burn solid. Isak looked rocked by that early challenge, Joelinton has been good and bad, and Hall has been almost exclusively terrible.

Geordie Boyo Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 We don’t like being pressed…..they’ll have watched the Bournemouth game. We just don’t seem as organised and losing Willock, someone like Gordon who can run at players, is definitely a miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Just now, CallumG6 said: We look so laboured, as if we’ve played 3/4 of the season already. Fuck knows what’s up with us. Stale team, was always going to happen with no new first team signings for 2 transfer windows, no chance of Europe this season as things stand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Weird half, we've not looked great, but have broke well a few times and had all the clear cut chances. They've had the majority of the territory but i've not once felt worried, and we've dealt with everything comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 We simply don't control games at all. We're always chasing the ball. It's very concerning like as it's been like this for ages now. Will having 2 ball playing centre backs make a difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Just now, Shak said: The flat three really isolates him at times, Willock is the only one who really bridges it well. That said, Isak has looked ponderous on the ball today IMO. Aye, he's had the ball in decent positions and been very wasteful. It is important we keep trying to get him in the game though. Not easy for a lone man against a back 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The Willock/Tonali/Joelinton midfield looked the most fluid of anything we've seen so far this season. No surprise that since Willock's gone off everything has slowed down as no-one gets in the positions Willock does out of a Bruno/Joelinton/Tonali midfield.

Izakaya Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Hall poor, Joe poor. Feel bad for Willock too. Surprisingly Miggy hasnt been utter dog. We're a low possession, counter attacking team that is actually shite at counter attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Be lucky to finish 10th if we can't sort it out as haven't played any of the top 6 or 7 in league yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The fact we haven’t a centre back that can pick a pass is putting us in all sorts of bother IMO. It invites the press, means the midfield has to sit too deep and puts pressure on the fullbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Worst set piece ever. Think that was fine, we looked dangerous on the counter and they haven’t created much. Would like some more calm possession in the second half. Sandro looks like a boss, no rust at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 We miss Schar hugely mind. The ball is like a hot potato in the final third with this lot and Forest know it. Not enough threat down the left for me. Isak isolated and frustrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
