What is that "oooooooooooh" chant they always shout when the keeper is about to kick the ball?

 

Shite southern teams fans patter from the 80s.

"You're shit ahhh"

Old school number.  Followed traditionally by "you're shit aggh"  most fun you could get at some games in those days

We are struggling to slow the game down due to not being able to retain possession for more than a few passes.

We’re a very poor side with the ball in that sense, which is strange for the players we have. Doesn’t help options are far apart. Just watch each time Bruno has the ball. It’s different when we have ball in final third, but other 2 thirds it’s so bad.

Has been for over a year.

Ah, figured it was something like that, but the "aahh" at the end was confusing. Cheers

[nemtizz]

Almiron got a bet on for Forest corners? Keeps running into that corner. 

[The Butcher]

Absolutely massive neck on that Forest striker.

One of the reasons Guehi is so important. Krafth and Burn aren't capable of it.

It's not that strange when you look at the players collective attributes.

[NobbySolano]

are they allergic to shooting? terrible sequence

[RobsonsWonderland]

Playing Counter attacking football will lead to less possession.

 

Maybe need to mix it up and slow the game down in the middle of the pitt

 

 

[pubteam]

Tonali is so so good, that is all.

[Peppe]

So happy Tonali is playing again

[OoOGazOoO]

Barnes' control at speed is brilliant

[KaKa]

Great ball from Barnes. Nobody at the far post.

[Menace]

Willock sub completely killed the games momentum

[Smal]

enjoyed Barnes’ performance so far.

Isak need to step up.

[STM]

Tonali has been unreal.

[Memphis]

I don't want to bang on about it but Tonali is just routinely firing first-time balls right where they need to go, he completes passes for fun that 95% of other players wouldn't even try

[nemtizz]

Alan Smith trying his best to convince everyone we’ve been under pressure since we scored.

See. This is why Howe usually makes subs at Howe o'clock.

[Keggy_Keagal]

Hall's positioning means he's not ready. In attacking phases he's just staying up there often meaning Joelinton's having to come over and tuck into the space or cover. It's killing our midfield. 

[Conjo]

Joelinton maybe not having a great game with the ball. Dread to think how we'd play without the ball and him not in the team.
