Yep, I've seen enough. Another player that has fooled everybody into thinking he is good just because of his international form and the country from where he was born. He's not good enough. Also, take the vice captaincy off him, it's a joke that he even has it.

So weird that he hasn't even touched his Argentina heights with us. There have been some moments of brilliance of course, but not enough in the slightest.

 
Forest will do the same the City and Arsenal. We should of won that but didn’t and that shows how expectations and increasing.

I wager a bet they beat City and Arsenal this season too.

Knew this place would be a beacon of positivity 😂😂😂

Forest will cause the big teams a lot of problems away from home. They’re great in scenarios like today, less so when the onus is on them to attack.

I thought we responded well to going behind, something that hasn’t been a strong point for the last few years. We had some very very good chances and on another day would have got the win.

Props to Sanchez for the saves at the end. Thought Mudryk did better than expected when coming on. Enzo really the only one I’m annoyed with.

It’s the Nkunku and Felix chances that make it a hard pill to swallow, but you’re right. 
 

Away from home Forrest got their formula right. Structured/Defensive football mixed with dark arts of time wasting.

Why TF did he even get a yellow? We are getting done in by Sh** refs that can't even control a game

The difference an Anthony Taylor can make (eight yellows for us in the Bournemouth game):

Loving your positivity Niall. Totally agree on Enzo. But it thought it was possibly the worst ever performance from Jackson. Regardless of how dreadfully he played, I would drop him for yet again arguing with his own team mates.

To be fair, he has Messi on those teams. He gets a lot of space and opponents can't concentrate much on him

Seems like 2 steps forward and 1 back although Forrest just made it hard.  Too many ordinary performances, did they take them too lightly ? 
 

Maintained our league position at least 

I think we will beat Liverpool to close the gap and open the league right up 

 
Personally, I think most reactions here are overblown. We've just begun climbing the steps to getting into Top 4.

This performance wasn't as bad as last season, Forest was cheating all around. It got so bad, JWP blatantly caught the ball next to the center circle

We can look at it as 2 points dropped, or alternatively one point gained vs what Liverpool achieved in their equivalent fixture.

Probably need to beat them at Anfield now though, or at least draw. A defeat and the gap to the leaders starts to look quite large.

May be a blessing having Tosin + Veiga. 
 

Konate and VVD a big worry for me set piece wise. 

 
Maresca did not manage this game well, imo.

To be fair though we called for Nkunku and Felix to come on and they blew it, while Mudryk and Neto offered nothing and Palmer did not save us. He cannot always, and needs others to help him.

Today only Sanchez, Cucurella and Colwill can hold their heads up.

Jackson should have been removed earlier or not even started. Nkunku earned a start today. For those who have been attacking us, jackson critics, games like these where he goes quiet is the reason why some of us aren't hundred percent on board the jackson train yet.

Jackson had a bad game no debate, but to say Nkunku "earned" a start after his performance against Gent is well wide of the mark in my opinion ... apart from his goal he was a complete passenger last Thursday ...

His build alone was always going to make it a tough ask for him in this league. The Premier League is simply too fast and frantic for him. Enzo's legs just don't have the physical requirement to deal with that, and it's not a position you can be weak in. If we can't win the midfield battle, then we can never hope to control a game of football.

Mudryk ran the whole pitch n put it on a plate for nkunku. 

 
Conte said:
Felix with a chance... Went wide

Nkunku with a chance... Went straight to the keeper

Palmer with a chance.. Hits at keeper.. 

When we are frustrated do we not know how to shoot??? 

This reminded me of poch and potter games. 

Forest dirty team kept time wasting and what happened to kicking the ball away = yellow card? They kept doing it and they didn't get punished for it and kept faking injuries aswell what sort of BS is this

Very cynical.

Agree on Maresca, but thought Mudryk did everything he could in his limited minutes, if the keeper doesn't save that Nkunku header we'd be praising the hell out of that cross. Way better than Neto and what Sancho provided this game. Madueke also tried a lot and deserves some praise. Not everything came off, but his drive to win/score is a must in games like these.
