Nott'm Forest (H) - Sat 14th Sep 2024 (3:00pm)

[Gruntfuttock]

Pod won't be 2 hours tonight!

[Engineman Hicks]

That’s the title gone. 

[3 Stacks]

The predictable part of that is that you just can't create at a not very high volume and expect the goals to flow. It's all well and good beating United 0-3 with 3 shots on target, but it's not a replicable result. We aren't creating enough chances.

 

And on top of that, we have the same forwards as ever, plus Szoboszlai who isn't proving to be very good technically, so you know the finishing isn't generally going to be very good. Chiesa won't improve that either.

 

Also, I wonder if people will overreact the other way on a Salah contract renewal after that absolute stink bomb of a performance. It would be only fair.

[Funkasy]

Whole empty pitch in front of him, kicks a slow high ball from behind our own half. Hopeless from trent.

[Pete]

Well. At least we know we can’t win the league this year.   

[diamondjoe]

Great. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Wonder what Slots incisive tactical sound bites will be after this game "the players were worse than shit"

[TheSire]

It's just because of the international break. The players haven't been training together, those little habits will slip out of mind whilst they're away. We'll get the odd game like this until it's all become habit. Just little things like picking the wrong pass, trying to play the Hollywood ball every time.

 

We conceded because we tried to walk the ball through a tight area with about 50 players in the way. Bit of sloppiness too where the final ball is rushed or the forward is caught flat footed.

 

We'll be fine in the next game, we probably did enough to win, just a bit sloppy and trying to force everything. 

[waddy78]

Really poor all game, I was hoping for 38 game unbeaten league season. Oh well 37 will have to do.

[Carra_is_legend]

Szoboszlai is not a very good player.

[Jairzinho]

Dismal.

 

Hope Slot takes off our worst players in the future.

[Moo]

I don't think it's much to do with tactics or "learning". We lack quality and depth, we'll be up and down all season.

[LFC 6 Times]

Wow, that was Hodgson/ end of Rodgersesque. Haven’t seen an Anfield display like that in an eternity.

 

Horrific.

[BeefStroganoff]

Same old squad. Same old problems.

[Chocoholic]

Fuck sake! Utter dogshit all day. No energy, loose passing, no focus, and shit decision making.

[Turkish Delight]

My big worry before this game was that this safer football against a low block would lead to results like this.

 

Slow, predictable shite.

[Planet Origi]

Stale performance, not surprisingly 

[Carra_is_legend]

Gakpo for Diaz is up there with the worst sub ever.

[Mook]

Absolute shocker of a result that. We can look at the ref & the international break for excuses but the truth is, they wanted it more & that is simply not good enough.

 

Bradley's had a nightmare there too but I don't think we should be laying into the kid after a poor cameo.

 

Sore one.

I think anyone with a bit of sense thought that was highly unlikely anyway.

[redinblack]

That was Dogshit. Somebody be along in a minute to tell us how statistics prove that Salah was fabulous.

[Strontium]

I feared the worst today when I saw Alisson wearing trousers.

[Tarwater]

Trent seemed to lose all concentration after some throw in shenanigans in the first half. The more he drifted in centrally, the worse he and we got.

[El Rojo]

At least Trent looks bothered by it. The rest high-fiving our weaker opposition.

 

Wretched afternoon, from player selection to performances to substitutions.
