Btw for anyone still windering, here's the full list:
Wow, thought for sure with ESR in the team that Martinelli or Jesus would be dropped for Kai. Probably our best formation with the players we have available.
Would have been nuts not to start Martinelli in this. Hopefully his 2 goals will fill him with confidence and he can score another.
Here we go!
I wasn’t all that up for the game until I saw the line up. Hopefully he can deliver.
@DiabyKungFu in the mud.
Big Willie Smitty boy
My first thought when you said that.
On a separate note, hope Rice and Gabriel aren't being risked.
Don Pacifico need a 4-0 lead at half time so we can stop them for Jorginho and Kiwi
Slow and methodical play so far. Where's the corner goal to open things up?
Beautiful interplay between ESR and Zinny on the left. We've been missing that
We lack precision in literally EVERYTHING we do in the final third.
Saka's faster.
I feel like every time Jesus gets the ball, the last thing on his mind is to shoot. Always looking to take a few touches or move with the ball, or pass it. Sometimes you need to just fucking shoot
So slow and sideways with our play
jesus is the only player that does things out of structure and creates overloads. everyone else is too bland
Our play seems so cautious and cowardly
Sterile posession
To be fair, think Forest look really well organised and drilled. Whether they have the stamina to keep this up for the full ninety is another matter.
We get so much space in the box, even as packed as it is but we just can't make it count.
Qwiss most touches in the opposition box of any team in the league, mind. we ring-fence teams better than anyone, but that's as far as it goes. if this how we're going to play, just get an aerially dominant striker in and keep pumping crosses in
Nearly
Can't watch the match but from the outside a bit worrying that we don't seem to have solved that attacking dilemma and how we can improve our attack
We lack passing and creative abilities. Sadly not something you can address tactically.
Smith Rowe is also too attacking like Havertz.
daredevil we have loads of creative players.
Smith Rowe is way more involved than Havertz too. Has 26 completed passes in that half. Havertz managed 28 for the whole game vs Brighton which was also a dominant performance.
