Casemiro should have a red card there. Not even mentioned by the commentary or looked at by officials. It was two footed, studs up, knees locked. Proper leg breaker. Nothing doing apparently.
Good weekend for us with all 4 teams below us losing.
Virtually a free hit now tomorrow night with the focus being on getting something from the game. To achieve that we'll require a disciplined performance which doesn't leave our leaden foot defenders too exposed and the creditable 2-2 against Brighton recently shows it's possible.

Trying to be positive here but in the first 20 mins against Palace we played some of the best pass and move football since Bielsa led the side to 9th in the PL. Ok it didn't last and the wheels well and truly fell off second half but keeping the ball and playing well is the best way of controlling the match.
Let's hope the coach, players and analysts have all had a good look at where we went wrong and the gameplan tomorrow is adjusted accordingly.

No matter how bad it’s going tomorrow will you try and get your mates to stay till final whistle. Give the lads a bit of support for gods sake
They’re a bit jeckyl and Hyde.. we were poor at their place but we started ok and conceded to their first attack… after a defensive blunder - a very familiar story this season. We were actually two nil down and they’d only had one shot.
Truth is jambo we’ve started well in a lot of matches this season. It’s been a bit of a trend under all the managers to start well, create a few chances… usually don’t make it count… concede to the first attack from the opposition. And then down hill from there.
Palace away was a less dramatic version of palace at home.
Don’t know why we often fade… I used to think it was not being able to keep up the intensity of the press under Jesse… but it’s happened under scoobs and Javi as well. Maybe Emu’s mindset issue? Guess it’s not uncommon for relegation threatened teams to have their confidence built up prior to a game and then someone lets the air out of the balloon.

All the supporters near me stay until the final whistle and that's the same win lose or draw.No matter how bad it’s going tomorrow will you try and get your mates to stay till final whistle. Give the lads a bit of support for gods sake
Granted that might mean staying in the bar but they're definitely in the stadium
Some of the one touch interplay in that opening phase against Palace though was off the charts and genuinely some of it was the best we've played in a pure football sense since we were promoted. Obviously in our first season back under Bielsa we may have played better but as no fans were allowed it's difficult to say. For me the real issue though is why as soon as we took the lead did the game change and that as you say has been a recurring theme all season.
That said Arsenal have given up 2-0 leads in their last two matches and so it's not just us that struggle to keep on top of the opposition.
Wanting forest to lose is not the same as wanting scum to win.
I used to think we have some big characters in our quad but after watching us fold like a cheap suite last week, I wonder. We need to see a big performance against the scousers and anyone who is shirking or hiding needs pulling off. Another weak showing from Harrison or whoever needs calling out. Alexander Arnold is a mirage and can’t defend so whoever we put wide right backed by Firpo can rip him to shreds. Robertson on the other side is likely to get sent off if we can skin him all night. Liverpool are pants defending and the big Dutch bloke is slower than Maguire
