Forest (A) PL Sunday 28th August 16:30

[ClemFandango]

Apparently it’s seven years to the day we signed Sonny but there’s speculation he might be dropped for Richarlison today.

Certainly a game we should be winning handily though.

[ClemFandango]

That’ll do

 

[J.spurs]

I'll be surprised if we don't get a result from this, but this is crap football from us.

 

[ClemFandango]

It’s more frustrating from me rather than crap. Could/should be two or three in front by now.

We're so good on the counter that we can be a little passive out of possession IMO. To paraphrase a great man, we are sometimes prone to waiting for the other lot to die of boredom.

[Chavhater01]

Bentancur and Hjobjerg really piss me off at times, their lack of movement at times when we’re in possession, effectively means we have absolutely no midfield, so the ball has to go long, and we just turn over possession time after time. I miss Dembele so much!

You know I’m picturing you smashing things with a foam cricket bat ..

 

[ClemFandango]

Clear penalty

As clear as day

 

[ClemFandango]

Crikey ..

 

[Chavhater01]

Bollocks! Bit of a collector’s item that.

 

[Yid]

While waiting for my daughter to get ready to go out... I watched all of the Magpie/Wolves game and 20 mins of ours...

Sounds like I didn't miss much... as of yet.

I'm sure second half Conte will get a rocket up them... that seems to be the MO at the minute.

What...?

 

[ClemFandango]

What...?

Kane missing a penalty ..

 

[Chavhater01]

That’s twice this season that if Sonny had just rolled the ball to Harry, he would’ve had a tap in.

 

[Chavhater01]

Much more energy this half, playing a lot higher up the pitch.

 

[ClemFandango]

Sonny looks completely fed up

 

[Yid]

Kane missing a penalty ..

Thanks... Wanker...!

 

[ClemFandango]

Get in

 

[Chavhater01]

What...?

Wasn’t a shocker mate, just not enough into the corner, good height for the keeper but a decent save.

 

[Havocc]

That will do nicely, onward

 

[ClemFandango]

Embarrassing from Hojbjerg there. So unnecessary.

 

[ClemFandango]

Well with 3 points and a clean sheet, it was job done again but we made hard work of it.

Davies and Perisic good again I thought.

 

[Dorset]

It was a bit tedious. I think we got lucky again, Forest couldn't score in a goal the size of a very big goal shaped thing.

Yh wasn’t exactly pretty. Looked lacklustre in the 1st half again, bit of a theme there. Decent 2nd half, could’ve scored a few more, tbf they had their chances as well.

Slight concern over Sonny, doesn’t look himself atm, looks short of confidence.

Yeah Sonny really looks a shadow of himself at the moment. But then I suppose the dilemma with him is that he's one of those players that just needs one touch or one thing to go in and he's right back on it again.

But with Richarlison being so effective off the bench in the last two games, I think he's certainly earned a starting spot on Wednesday. But then we start playing two games a week from Wednesday as well so there's going to be a LOT of rotation.

Think on the clips of saw that Richarleson has just earned himself a start ahead of the forlorn looking Korean.

I think it might be time to introduce Bissouma for one or the other.

 

[USspur]

Sonny looks like he is trying too hard. Needs to do less
