Match Threads Nottingham Forest vs Spurs

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Just put on Gil

against this forest team? Lad would be beaten to a pulp within minutes

 

[soflapaul]

It's not just Sarr. we're sloppy coming out of our third

 

[faze_coys]

Really struggling to see how Skipp is going to offer us anything at #10

 

[TonyK]

It’s all been very untidy and scrappy from us so far.

 

[Teegart]

It is what it is unfortunately. Our bench is just so bad just now with the injuries, we’re just hoping anyone coming on can just fill a role as best they can. The drop off is huge.

 

[antti19]

Strange sub

 

[Frank Blank]

Our defence is sloppy wih the passing.

 

[Tonio]

At 10? Come on

At 10? I don't follow

 

[gushayes11]

Gil surely.

 

[Col_M]

So many fouls. I guess he’s waiting for Cuti to do one before the first yellow.

 

[Romulus]

thats a bad tackle from Yates

 

[theShiznit]

Passing has been too safe and at the same time poor

 

[jonnyp]

This ref is a joke now

 

[Trent Crimm]

Did Skipp win the 1st sub on Raffle or what

 

[waresy]

Not sure I'd want to watch much of forest. Scrappy and direct is about all I can think of to describe the style

 

[rossdapep]

Bissouma needs to really raise his game.

Forest have the centre shut down and it could be opened up with a player beating players in there

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Yes.

Which is how I know that defensive lines are far more static than attacking one's.

It's pass and MOVE, not pass and stand still.

Think about all the attacking runs you make where you never receive a pass.

People especially thought this during the Barcelona 'toki-taka' years.

That defenders would be "chasing shadows".

The actual stats showed that Barcelona covered much more ground and did a lot more running that their opponents do.

It's a myth that you can tire a team out by passing around them.

You expend a lot more energy creating passing options.

Chasing the ball all game is much more tiring mentally and physically.

 

[pedrodelawasp]

This ref is an absolute riot. Forest are playing very, ahem, robustly…

 

[Erm33]

Very laborious and sloppy performance so far.

 

[midoshairband]

wtf a forest free kick for Skipp getting fouled
