Need to keep a 2 game buffer and a game in hand as deep into the season as possible

This is smart. Sozabarus Lefti93 RossFC one for the teal loving lads

Tzimas 9 on the back of the kit

Not the worst result overall, hopefully Spurs lift tomorrow morning. City threw away a two goal lead, they are cooked.

Very impressed with Forest, they are in for the long haul.

 

[Lefti93]

Eh, fat boi Marinaki will be found for cheating eventually. As an AEK fan I wanted to put my fist through the TV when I saw his mug.

Wtf goes on at the club in January

 

[Cooldude]

Jota and Kostas has to start from now on, Diaz upfront as an experiment just doesn't work against bus parkers. Robbo just isn't cutting it anymore

We're also getting into a terrible habit of drawing games where we're way ahead on xg and they barely have a chance

being liverpool?

 

[jod23]

Could see that coming a mile away. TAA lazy as usual

Bro, gotta calm down, that goal has absolutely nothing to do with Trent. It was just a really well crafted counter attack goal which Forest are very good at.

 

[peternorth]

We just dont take advantage when other teams drop points.

 

[jod23]

It's a tough place to go, a much better second half. Mo had an off day and a goal line clearance and some top saves from Sels probably preserved a point for Forest.

We're in a bit of a rut but hopefully we come out of it. Still 6 clear of Forest with a game in hand and 7 clear of Arsenal.

In a great position. Just need to find our best form again, sooner rather than later. Positives are even in this rut, we havent lost games (in the league) and still can turn around the League Cup semi.

A lot going on!

 

[Cooldude]

Brentford is now a must win which is really tough, we don't have a great record there. Gotta learn how to keep clean sheets again, has kept **** all for months

Correct - Liverpool were in possession - giving the ball away on the half way line meekly was the cause of the goal. Three touches is all it took.

Forrest were very good. They parked a very good bus, nicked a goal and almost got away with it.

Arsenal are the only challengers though and they are equally susceptible to a bus.

An away draw to the 2nd placed team is fine. Draws are stacking up though.

Not really. He could have pushed accross to help cover, instead VVD was left to cover two. Just because an attack is good doesn't mean it couldn't have been defended better.

* Just re-watched incase I was wrong. When we turn the ball over he just stands with no one close he needed to defend while Wood flies past going forward with VVD tracking him, if he'd reacted quicker he could have potentially covered. Not the worst of his defensive sins but still ball watching.


The bigger sin was giving the ball away against a team like that. Grav i think did it? He had a very ordinary first half.

It's odd. Kostas was preferred pre injury and Robbo hasn't exactly been great but for some reason keeps getting the start now Kostas is back.

I think Arne's just deferring to his senior players in a title race out of safety, that's why a lot of squad players don't get as many games

Grav was in the back 4 covering Konate and then inexplicably just drifted out leaving the open space…

Yeah and Konate had been sucked up into midfield, then we lost the ball creating a huge gap between VVD and Trent. It was easy for Forest from there. Shouldnt lose it in midfield there and Forest are excellent at taking advantage.

Had absolutely nothing to do with Trent, in fact I thought Trent had quite a good game defensively at RB.

Ibou at fault for the goal. He should always be alongside VVD in the defensive line.

 

[Zidane98]

One of Mo's worst games for quite some time

 

[Lebbo73]

Once that first goal went in in the 7th minute I had given up hope of winning the game. Probably should’ve won it in the end. ****, these early goals in matches, conceding first or letting in a late equaliser is going to be the end of me.

 

[Mr Meow]

In reality we created all the chances we needed to against an excellent defensive team. Lack of clinical edge, good last ditch defending and a great goalkeeping performance has stopped us getting a winner.

Conceding first so often isn't great.

Not a disastrous result in isolation but the draws are piling up and there's no illusions that this title race is going to be a comfortable ride to the finish line. None of us in here were getting carried away regardless; some "neutrals" tried to call it over a month ago and they look silly now.

On the positive side of things, keeping the 6 point lead over Forest (with a game in hand on them) is a win. If they got it back to 3 points that would've really put the pressure on. We have to hope Arsenal stumble. They have injuries but Spurs are Spurs.

If anyone is to blame, then its Konate who was way out of position. plus Mo's weak effort in the air

 

[Jars458]

This wasn't meant to be easy. Second half obviously much better than the first. I think we need change at left back. Much rather be in our position than anyone elses.

 

[Joker91]

If Arsenal draw/lose its a great week.

Another game completed and Arsenal, Forest, City and Chelsea still the same amount of points behind/
