We had a manager who would passionately defend his players and there were still plenty of people on here who hated him for it. Ultimately, i'd be happy to see our manager do whatever he liked as long as the team is winning each week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same injury as Ricardo Big loss for them, wonder if they have to buy another CB now. Otherwise back to Mings and Konsa again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t improved their defence compared to last season, but they kept a clean sheet yesterday. They got fortunate from a combination of poor West Ham finishing, a shit penalty from Rice and worldie performance from Henderson. They wont always be able to rely on all three. To be fair though, Henderson is an excellent goalie and was their most important of their many signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxondale Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Cannot believe how lucky the Forest were. If they perform like that every week, they’ll be doomed. Their defence looks like an absolute disaster zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has given an honest assessment of where we are, where we want to be, and the challenges we face in achieving our goals. Not sure why people get so irate about what Rodgers says, and look to read things into it that aren’t really there. Spot on. He wants to do well for his own reputation as much as anything else. Is he really going to get a big job if he gets sacked here with us in the bottom 6? It's in his and everyone's interests to do well. He knows like we do that we need wingers, that's why in his interview he alludes to this. Says he's forced into playing a certain way because of the lack of wide players when Barnes is out it's dire straits. I still think he could have set up more offensively in both games however. I mean if you count the GK we had 7 defensive players start both games and a sole striker isolated much of the time. We could easily have gone two up top of played people like Perez, Praet etc wide. We conceded 6 in 2 games despite being quite defensive. We might was well set up to attack and go for it, nothing to lose at games like Arsenal.

I think it is obvious that Brendan wants to do well - I’m just not sure he can now. I think he has lost his way as have the team. He has pride and ability, but it appears very one dimensional.

So because its your opinion or preference it isn't sexist?! I'm not trying to shut your opinion down. You can think what you want thats up to you but I'm sorry to tell you it was absolutely sexist. If someone such as Carney had played in the man's game and yet I preffered a male pundit you could accuse me of prejudice, but my preference is based on expertise and experience that adds value to the program, its probably why Gillette soccer Saturday viewing figures have floored since the change in format, people have just switched off.

Look at how many top managers over the years never played the game at any decent level.

UniFox21 Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Unsure if this has been linked already, but the standard of officiating is incredibly poor, again. Feels like we say that a lot. We have cameras around that ground and the ability to rewatch sections, yet somehow they've missed that, a clear hair pull and drags the man down. Then the offside segment with richarlison is fairly stupid, but I hope they now remain consistent on that ruling and not change their mind in the next fixtures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manini Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 I always think back to our first season up, we had 8 points after 5 games including a point against Arsenal and a win against Man United. After that we were off a cliff until we all know what happened. The buzz and adrenaline can get you points in the beginning but it doesn’t take much for the momentum to change and the rot to set in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t to me either. Just watching MOTD2. The tactical analysis from the female pundit has, so far, been more in depth than that of the the male one. I might also point out that the presenter has never even played professionally in his life, at any level. How do you feel about his involvement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a discussion about presenters (I've already said I love Laura Woods style, and Kelly Daglish, it's about commentary, co commentary and punditry. Some of the best entertainment is when we've had arguments with passion from Keane, Souness, Carragher and Neville, I just can't see that when you start taking out a couple of those pundits and replacing them with ex pros from the ladies game. Now you might not value that, but I think many do, as I think they enjoyed the arguments and banter with Gillette soccer Saturday which may now has dwindling viewing numbers with the new format. Anyway it's all opinion and I doubt it's going back and wouldn't be surprised to see Souness now edged out after the twitter row, I'm just another Fred Flintstone Wilmmmmmaaaaaaaa 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the most interesting and in depth football discussion on things like the tifo podcast and none of their presenters are ex players. Obviously we don’t agree on this but it’s nice to discuss things. I personally find what you have said to be sexist but I understand if you want to debate me on that. You mentioned earlier that you wished more women in your family were into football. I think representation is important in achieving that and seeing more women on tv is a vital part of that. I personally am very happy to see more women represented. Edited 15 August 2022 by RumbleFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
