Forest fans will  be wanting Hutchinson on 2nd half to have a go at Burn. Really frustrating first half considering we controlled it for most parts. Shite in the final 3rd, again

Did you guys really know what a 10 really plays like? If Wolte can pull all those move off despite so little space given in EPL he would be playing for Real Madrid already.

 

Dont complain if we play like shit after taking Wolte off in second half

 

He's made one cutting pass to Osula when he had the whole pitch to run and play the pass

Well, unlike most on here it seems, I liked a lot of that [emoji38]

 

Joelinton has looked great on the left.

 

Love the double pivot of Bruno and Tonali, which has taken some of the build up responsibility off Tonali, and defensively has done a better job of covering that wretched gap that always exists in front of the defence.

 

Osula continues to look bright. And just needs to continue to work on being a bit more composed in certain situations.

 

Love the gaps Woltemade is starting to pop up in and he really just needs to be a lot quicker and decisive with his actions. Won't happen if he isn't given more of run in this setup though.

 

Unfortunately Hall has to keep coming inside on that right side and so can't give proper width and Burn on the left is just not a full back. Miley at RB and Hall at LB today would have made things look a lot better.

I honestly think we've been absolutely fine and have been unlucky with a few chances.

 

Next goal is the winner though I feel. Looks red hot out there. Subs will decide this and I reckon Barnes will hopefully make a big difference if he comes on

Those cutting pass? Do you mean the one pass?

 

Maybe you're including the through ball to Forest he played?

Really poor attacking play again. Creating poor angles for eachother and shit passes that should be simple.

 

One thing I've noticed today as well is how little we utilise our centre backs to recycle the play when we're in their final third. We get it in there and it's shit or bust, often trying a daft pass when it should be rolled back to a centre back who has created an out ball angle.

Our lack of technical quality slaps you in the face on every build up and counter. 
 

I generally like these players as people but I’m so sick of watching them play football. So many nowhere near good enough.

Good player, yes. £100m player? No way.

This match makes it even more appaling we chose not to make any January signings. Especially when you see the boost players like Rayan have given Bournemouth.

I think he's played as many successful through balls to Forest's attackers as he has to Osula :lol:

Red hot? It’s 14 degrees and Eddie is in his usual 4 layers.

yea sounds easy. Easy. What about the fucking shit ones from Murphy in the early stage, one forcing Osula to stop and another one fucking far away from Joe?

 

I mean, you guys sounds like all these are easy stuff. Why didn’t we see them happened the nearly 3/4 months?

That seems a harsh assessment to me. Made some neat runs and his awareness/nous has improved significantly IMO.

 

he constantly looks like he's falling over. Good players have natural balance and I don't think I've seen a player with less than him :lol:. I absolutely don't deny that he is improving significantly though. 

 

Woltemade did everything right with that pass. Drew all three players out and gave Osula every chance he possibly could've had to score. Was a serious lack of composure on his part.

If there’s one thing I like then it’s the double pivot of Bruno and Tonali that I’ve wanted to see for ages. Really have wanted us to go 4-2-3-1 for a long time. Unfortunately we don’t have the kind of players I prefer in the last third (in general no matter what system)

This is a good point. We sit in front of their goal and use Bruno to orchestrate, whereas top teams will use their centre backs for this and the midfield would push up and compress

Don’t get the many negative comments, if the team gels a bit in that new formation we might be onto something. We were in control for most of the half and had at least one crystal clear chance that we created ourselves. 
I don’t like Burn at lb and Nick is too easy to shove around but apart from that I‘m happy with that new approach.

Woltemade definitely gets no slack from some on here that are happy enough to see Murphy and Burn offer nothing going forward other than the odd ball into the box 

 

Where you're wrong here is thinking that lots of people give Murphy slack.  He's had nothing all game and still put a few fantastic balls into the box that we easily could have scored from early on.  So to say he offers nothing going forward, when He's created more opportunities than Woltemade is daft, and I'm a Woltemade fan myself.  He's drifted out of the game later on, so has almost everyone.  But you're right that some people have certain players to blame no matter how many are actually to blame.  Including you with Murphy.  The big question is will Eddie Howe get some balls and make changes at half time or will he hide behind the fact we aren't losing like he always does?

It’s crazy. Tidy footballer but for that money you want someone who’s going to contribute to goals much more.

Botman, Thiaw and Joelinton should tag team in the dressing room and rip the team a new one. 

 

Bruno diddling with the ball instead of making obvious early passes. Woltemade done well to set up Osula but otherwise losing the ball too much. Murphy went off for a drink after the first 10 minutes and haven't been seen since. Hall ineffective from RB. Can see Burn is playing thanks to his height, but hasn't done much other than being dragged along by Bakwa. Pope popey poping. Tonali a lot of running, little ofa nothinga otherwise.

Talking about the amount of misplaced passes, the amount of times he lost possession unaware of what's around him, and earlier in the thread i said hopefully it's a lack of game time. 

I like Big Nick.W, as i like the 4-4-1-1 which would suit him, and i hope with stick with it and him, and give him time to get back into form from playing time. 

 

Although as you put it, i won't complain if we play shit if we take him off.
