Match Day Thread NUFC v Forest

Something's not working at this club. Two wins since, what, May?

 

It’s the fact that some players can’t actually get the ball under control quickly. Elanga looks a total waste of money.

 

Set pieces are the bread and butter of the sport and this side is bad at them.

 

Joelinton is also doing nothing. Apart from fouling players.

 

His touch is the worst I've seen in my life. He's an athelete not a footballer.

 

Miley for Joelinton, Murphy for Elanga - 60mins.
Schar for Trippier, Barnes for Woltemade - 75mins
Osula for Gordon - 85mins.

 

The midfield is 30 yards away from the fwds

 

We are trying to run before we walk.

 

Called this in the Summer - he's a straight line runner and as I said at the time not what we were ever in need of. We desperately need attacking guile and just don't have any.

 

This is ****ing shocking how bad we are playing.

 

Has Elanga won the lottery. He actually tripped himself up on the ball there.

 

He's ****

 

Our two CB's are good.

 

Bruno been shocking again

 

Two added minutes yet they took 4 to take their free kick in the first half.

Elanga is terrible.

 

Burn - been magnificent, but no longer a PL left back. Trips, been magnificent, not a PL right back. Thiaw looks good, Botman's back. Bruno slipping backwards, Tonali carrying the team, Joelinton belongs in the MMA. Gordon flatters to deceive, Elanga is so far garbage, big Nick's decent. Tino, Hall are big misses, Ramsey too, the rest are average or worse and not going to change games.

This is more or less a must win. We'll go 5-4-1 against Brighton aiming for 0-0.

 

I'm thinking that Tripps is having a stinker!

 

Always does.

 

This is really poor.

Eddie got credit midweek but this is poor.

If we don’t win here and go to Brighton to play for a 0-0 that’s a crap start to the season.

 

So despite this thread being a tedious deluge of exaggerated whining, it was ok and we were clearly the better team. We were definitely a lot more dangerous towards the ends.
