Haven't really got close from open play but how we haven't scored from one of our set pieces is beyond me. Forest are hopeless at defending them.

Need that first goal as soon as possible to just relax everyone.

They had a back line of 7 at one point. Also Konate's probably broken the record of most time spent on the ball.

Get Thiago and Nunez on, this is the type of game they would thrive in.

Thiago on for Jones at HT please

eddiedingle · « **Reply #3 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:50:40 pm »

Jota has to score that.

Nice threat from set pieces, pretty woeful threat from open play which has been a theme for 3 halves of football v these now. We'll still win, hopefully an early goal second half then they fold. Get me Darwin Nunez!

The attacking got better as we went on but there is too much lax passing.

Samie · « **Reply #6 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:50:59 pm »

This lot can't live with us when we up the tempo. They've done nothing. We really should be winning this.

Outside of counter attacks and set plays we don't seem to have a clue how to score. All very predictable and pedestrian. Bring Thiago on for Jones

Really good play just missing that edge a little bit at the moment. Just got to keep working though

Fromola · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:51:24 pm »

Keep getting these scoreless games after a big win this season but we have the quality on the bench to get the goal here.

Magz50 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:51:32 pm »

We’ll ease this one in the second. 2-0

Lycan · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:51:44 pm »

Come on reds. Get these beat. Hate Forest.

Tobelius · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:51:57 pm »

In near total control but with quite little penetration so far,Virgil and Jota close.Trent has been majestic.

Caston · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:51:58 pm »

Early goal second half and they will crumble.

But I’ll take any kind of win!

Or, much better, Thiago on for Henderson.

Coolie High · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:12 pm »

Not bad, should have a goal from a set piece, hopefully Diaz can come on later on and commit defenders.

CS111 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:13 pm »

Need Diaz on. No one really trying to take anyone on down the wings. It's the usual sideways and back bullshit against the defensive teams.
More urgency please

clinical · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:15 pm »

Not really sure what Jota offers anymore.

jepovic · « **Reply #20 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:18 pm »

We're too slow and static. Too many players that look for an opening pass, too few potential receivers. Need more runners in midfield.

Rosario · « **Reply #21 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:18 pm »

How haven’t we scored from a set piece yet? Might need to get Diaz, Nunes and Thiago in early here to try and change things up, since we don’t seem to be troubling them from open play currently.

robertobaggio37 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:19 pm »

Pls take Robertson off set piece duties

Rob Dylan · « **Reply #23 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:25 pm »

No urgency, right from the start - should've started Diaz and Nunez.

Eh! It still counts. You don;t get extra points for playing like Brazil 82 for fucks sakes.

chromed · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:38 pm »

Too easy to defend against whilst we have the ball in play at the moment - we just aren't finding those killer passes at key moments.

Set pieces have been better and look the most likely way that we'll break the deadlock.

A few tackles in that first half that should have probably seen a yellow too, I wonder if Oliver has left his cards in the changies

It's enough to put an insomniac to sleep isn't it.

MBL? · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:39 pm »

Little bump from the defender put Jota off so I don’t think it was a bad miss.

jonnypb · « **Reply #29 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:43 pm »

Over 85% possession, but lacking the killer blow from open play. Thiago on at HT as he’ll rip these lot to bits with his creativeness and will put opportunities on a plate for the front 3.

Paul_h · « **Reply #30 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:46 pm »

Cooper knows us so well. Frustrating.
Fab seems a bit off it.
1-0 should do it

JovaJova · « **Reply #31 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:47 pm »

Forest continuing their extreme luck from the first game against us.

A bit pointless having Henderson and Fabinho on here. It’s an against blackline of 10 players with no interest in playing a game of football.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:52:50 pm »

How did Jota miss that though.

Totally in control, Get Thiago on and we'll open them up better, Forest should tire around the hour mark.

His inability to be clinical will cost him, he’s deffo not a LW

Caston · « **Reply #34 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:53:13 pm »

Think Elliott should play the role Henderson is in.

Maybe Thiago on for Jones soon and Núñez on early second half too.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #35 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:53:20 pm »

Gakpo needs to find a way to make himself an option more.

Jones is playing fairly well. We don't really need Fabinho in a game like this, especially if Trent (who's quicker anyway) is going to be occupying that space that Forest might try and counter through.

Anyway, I doubt we'll make a change until 55+.

McSquared · « **Reply #37 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:53:30 pm »

A bit to static in the final third. I know they are packing the box, but we don’t have anyone making intelligent runs.

stockdam · « **Reply #38 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:53:35 pm »

Not great but not bad either. Unfortunately I had to listen to McManaman………listening to him you’d think Forest were the better side…….he exaggerates everything.

We just need to find a bit more space and some better passing. Maybe Thiago needs to come on.

All we can do is keep on doing what we have done and we’ll get chances.

DonkeyWan · « **Reply #39 on:** April 22, 2023, 03:53:42 pm »

Not terribly incisive, it's like the team is waiting for TAA to do something alll the time. Should still be ahead though, how Jota doesn't score that header is beyond me.

Henderson and Fabinho offer nothing going forward, very frustrating. Gakpo is neat and tidy, Jota most likely to score, Salah being marked by three at times.

I thought Jones has done well, particularly hustling back to help out when the ball is lost.

Konate has mo idea what to do wheh he has the ball, it's clear he's not terribly comfortable in this new role.
