Fear Of The Fox

Like Lionator said there's no strategy at all there. It's an one man show, Marinakis and his shady deals with agents which are under investigation. If Forest loses today (big if because Everton is equally bad), it's going to be a final day game decider against Burnley. Forest have one winnable game though vs Sheff Utd. Luton have 2 winnable games on paper vs Everton and Fulham and an "easier" run in. Everton's 90% safe but again they're so bad we can't rule out a total collapse even with the games in hand.

I agree. My worries are based solely on the Man Utd side though because this team is all over the place. Casemiro will probably play as a CB, midfield is non existent with McTominay and Mainoo. I can't see Man Utd winning this I'm afraid. Again I hope your prediction will come true and not mine.

Unfortunately Cov will win today. I can't see how this lethargic Man Utd side will cope with the intensity Cov will bring in. Man Utd would have had serious problems against any Championship team in the top 8 positions on a KO FA Cup game. Hope I'm proven wrong but the signs are there for an upset today.

I'd rather have Elon Musk, Trump, Ted Lasso or Sunak as managers than Cooper. I don't want a manager who got the sack from Forest anywhere near Leicester.

We'd rather have a toddler starting a campaign than LM.

Customise every seat there with quotes and photos of him.

True but I don't mind it. He was furious at Foden not the officials or the opponents, he wasn't giving instructions directly, maybe indirectly by telling off this player. It might have been a bit embarrassing for Foden but he needs to learn. You're right though, there are many incidents all 3 of them (Pep, Arteta, Klopp) get away with it.

They have even more serious problems with the pension type contracts they've given to players.

He was shouting at Foden. Proper manager/coach like one I had in basketball back in the days. It doesn't matter if you had an incredible game, you make one mistake and you get a proper lecturing.

VAR is checking for a handball. This means it should have been a corner if it's not a penalty. Where's the problem to award a corner after the check? Are they trying to not humiliate the ref further? By their rules it should have been a pen. So they're already humiliating themselves and the sport. They're ruining the sport every day.

Modern football officiating. Nothing makes sense now. Worse thing is that they think we're idiots. If you're checking for a penalty it means you're accepting there was a deflection.

How? He's never going to deploy a 4-3-1-2 or a 4-4-2. It's going to be Kane and boring football. Group is very tricky and I can smell the disaster.

It would be more empty seats. It's really shocking to see empty seats everywhere in a FA Cup semi final.

Some of our fans were calling today not to give him another contract which was rather sad to see. I hope the board offers him a last honourable contract if Jamie decides not to retire.

The way we're playing we're going to have another 3 dangerous and stressful for our hearts games. It's very unlikely we'll pull clear.

Don't expect teams in Championship with nothing to play for to roll over. Many players in this league seek a big move to a PL team and a big performance in crucial games could attract interest.

Are you sure it shouldn't be the other way around?

I'm not fully rejecting his philosophy. I just want a manager who acknowledges that sometimes things don't go by plan and he needs to make changes. Even after only 15mins into the game. Life is like this, other jobs also. Being stubborn just for the sake of it and bragging about it isn't a good sight.

It's the Season of Deflection.

He didn't but at least he was fairly capable to change things mid game. We're doing circles here. Enzo makes a huge mistake by insisting and bringing up on any occasion his "idea" and "philosophy". The mentality "we're losing but I'm going to stick with my idea" is outrageous. He acts like a teenager and his whole stance now looks very unprofessional.

We won several games by playing mediocre football even early in the season. Ipswich and Leeds could have been put of sight now if they took advantage of our dreadful results lately. The current table standings are a fair reflection of the season so far.

Hi Enzo! Glad to see you lurking around here. In all seriousness now, was this a sarcastic post? We should have been down 0-3 in the first 20mins, I called it at the match thread as soon as I saw the lineup. It's very concerning when fans know before the game starts how things will pan out from the 1st minute. Yet the manager who earns millions doesn't have a clue. It's like me spotting from my home a major flaw in a SpaceX rocket 45mins before launch and the experts giving the green light with a disastrous result eventually.

Not only this but they were further exposed by the fresh legs WBA brought in. Really strange behaviour from Enzo, I'm trying many times to find some reasonable explanation behind this and support him but it's impossible.

Agree. I also don't like this kind of wording and you'll never see me here posting like that. The majority haven't used bad words against Enzo here.

It's not vitriol mate. It's some fair criticism. It's not like we're saying stupid things. Most posts criticising him are based on logic and facts. Did they team need fresh legs earlier? Yes, this is a fact.
