I doubt he’ll be going to take up the same role at forest that he had at arsenal likely be to head the whole group of clubs and take on a more ‘corporate role’ marinakis may be expecting something different though !

Brave man

Who is playing us next ….

Before race : how many points will Norris take out of max’s championship lead ? after race - how much further ahead is max now ?

I’ve seen way more salty tweets from them since yesterday than any other fanbase (except arsenal who are the saltiest fans on the planet )

I didn’t use it as justification- I said it was the best argument

The best one I can think of is that we were all still here at the end of his first one……..

I’m really intrigued by the last two games why are we inverting? Cooper hasn’t done it before afaik. is it purely because we had to play Ricky and cooper doesn’t believe he is physically up to playing a standard up and down full back role ? Can’t see that can be the case. I could have bought that he did it once against forest because the boys had been asking to play that way and we were off the the back of two wins. But again yesterday after losing that game convincingly? has cooper been leant on by those above that the quality of football isn’t what he was employed to deliver? Had he promised to continue the possession approach that the board apparently want to embrace? If so, then his inability to effectively play the way the board want him to could be his undoing. Potter is definitely the person they need if that’s the case.

I’ve only seen it from one angle but imo, if you go in with that much force and miss the ball = red I think we benefitted yesterday from Michael Oliver’s intervention last weekend. You see it every time when there is a var mistake - the following round of games sees the pendulum swing too far the other way. A few weeks ago we saw Martinez make a jump challenge which var didn’t sanction. A week later you see Fernandez make a challenge with legs in the air which is given as a red and the var doesn’t get involved to reverse when he should. Two rounds ago you saw ayew pulling the shirt and var didn’t give it. admitted as an error by PGMOL. The following week var gives the Man U challenge as a pen when it clearly wasn’t. reckon next weekend you’ll see the var getting involved too much again because they’ll review this weekend and say that the fatawu challenge should have been a pen.

I reckon the team finishing 17th will have 37 points

Occurred to me but with facundo and BEK we shouldn’t be short in that area. We’ve played wilf further forwards and maybe some games Bouba can step into that role

His issue is lack of concentration he allows players to run off him and he gets drawn into pressing in the wrong places and being played around Both these traits are a disaster in the PL is it possible for a player to change what seem to be such basic instincts ? with the ball at his feet he is most likely one of our best midfielders driving forwards.

Struggling to see which team drops instead of us

100% he’s our best passer But he showed today that he’s defensively limited in a two

I think against more dynamic forwards he’ll struggle. Would be ok in a three where he has plenty of cover

JJ and Ricky are playing completely different roles tough to compare Still Wondering why he goes so high so soon - it’s way too easy to cut off passing lanes into him

It was a very poor quality PL game i doubt the tactical battle stimulated stryder It won’t be remembered long in the memory - only our fans for the added time equaliser

Wasnt a howler not to give it - refs call. I’ve seen it twice on replay and thought it was/wasnt. No need for var to get involved after oliver getting involved last week I reckon ‘the bar’ is on the roof of the stadiums this weekend

Maybe today we’ll have two dreadful halves

Great player but shows his inexperience way too often atm

Sorry - my comment was rhetorical if you can’t see what’s different between this season and last season when it comes to the level of coaching ……

There is a difference from last season ……

You leave marj alone the space laser is coming 😀

Yeah yeah - but apart from that ……

Its not that he should save a particular goal it’s that he never seems to make a man amazing save And when you add in the cheap goals that keepers always concede where they could have done a bit better, you’re left with a keeper that isn’t worth the position
