Marsch and Orta fully at fault for not getting a left back in. Struijk has been at fault for most of the goals we've conceded recently. Nobody seems to be talking about the fact Johnson was offside when Struijk gave away the foul which led to the goal. It should have been our free kick. Yet another costly decision against us over the last two seasons. We must have enough evidence to throw back at the FA by now. Seems its every game.
Problem with that we will then have a fire sale and any talent we have will be offsky at rock bottom prices
Expect the same from Jesse Lasso ... "there was a lot more clarity to the way we want to play" ... "we're almost where we want to be" Think he'll be asking Radz for another 52 games to get his message across
Nothing to do with left back, everything to do with inability to break Forest down through the middle ... Marsch Ball is the problem, not Struijk ... please stop scapegoating the player in defence of Marsch, it's silly
Are you OK? Nothing to do with left back? I've just said Marsch is at fault for not sorting a left back out. If you think Struijk is a PL player good luck to you sir. I can't help you with that. We had enough chances to win that game comfortably. Same at Villa.
Even if that was an option, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t come back as he’s fallen out with the board..
Afternoon all. I just don't get how the system is messing us up. What system did Forest play today? What system did Everton play yesterday? Cooper adjusted his tactics to mess us up today, there was no system. Our problem consistently over the last few years, even under Bielsa, was our inability to turn chances into goals. Forest had one decent chance and they stuck it away. We never turned half chances into a good chance. Yet again we fluffed our lines in the final third. Forest were at it today, they never gave us a second. They also committed niggly fouls whenever we broke. Marsche was outthought today by Cooper and he couldn't find a way to sort it out.
Already gone 8 without a win earlier this season (did 8 last season too), need a win against them in the next 2 to prevent our longest winless run since returning to the Prem
You may be right but put the blame where it belongs Ted Lasso he just hasn’t a clue Wonder who he will throw under the bus this time because it’s not his fault Like hell it isn’t
He may want to prove a point by keeping us up - as he would’ve done last season. Leeds are probably the only club he’d join mid season as most of the players know what he requires. And we still have the personnel he needs. Get him back asap
We were good first half. Lacked the guile to break them down after the break. It’s about taking chances… we have 4 good ones first half - they have one half chance and take it. Sickening.
And on the flip Struijk really should have got a second yellow and have been off. Can they give offside when the balls not been played in?
We were poor 2nd half but Forest had gone 4-5-1 because they were 1-0 up. At times it was 6-4-0. Then it turned in to a Brentford re-run and we didn't have the answer. It just petered out in to a messy anticlimactic disappointment. 1st half we were much the better side and had 3 full chances to score with Sinisterra twice and Gnonto the other. All 3 of those should have been stuck away without too many problems. Plenty of other half chances too. Johnson is offside for their goal. Struijk ****s up the header and Johnson scores from the half chance. It's a great technique from him for sure. Thems the breaks when you're down there. We need a bit of luck from somewhere, or a couple of decisions going our way. Looks like we're settling in for the long haul near the bottom now though.
That would’ve been harsh imo two soft yellows when some fouls by Forest were far worse yet went unpunished.
You dont need to be Pep or Klopp to outfox Marsch, even Lampard and Ralf H have been doing it, every team we play knows exactly what to do to stop us. Marsch is a fkg big mouth knownowt and I have had enough. We actually do have the players to blitz many of the teams we have been losing to or drawing against. My worry however is that the board have spent their wad on supporting Marsch and even brought in Armes his mate who was doing fk all today sitting on the bench watching that shytshow. nobody can stick up for this guy any longer, he’s done
