Betis v. Forest

How did we not score????

This is me. Really want him to succeed but I'm coming around more to Russ's way of thinking unfortunately. He's a yard behind the pace and no sense of urgency or danger to balance that out.

I would appreciate the ref doing something about Betis having license to mug Anderson at their leisure.

This is clearly Anderson's last season with Forest. The bloke is fucking mustard. Absolutely love watching him play - has everything.

He is showing zero awareness of anything happening around him. His relaxed approach to passing and movement is very obviously not appropriate for this game and if he can’t figure that out and/or do something different then I am Team Russ on him generally.

Really would like to see a (fully fit) Dominguez out there instead. He’d be perfect for this.

I hope Russ has found a way to watch this tonight because it's miles more fun than the Sunderland game is going to be.

Only 2 added minutes is ridiculous, but I don't mind on this occasion.
Right, Wednesday rules - sub 2 goal Jesus at half time, miss more chances and lose 3-2?

I’ve been banging the same drum as Russ pretty much since Sangare joined the club. People say ‘there’s a player in there’ because he cost 35 mil but there’s been no sustained evidence of this to my eyes.
I also think he has a fundamental problem - he can’t kick properly and often gets his feet tied up in basic moves. His weird challenge for the Betis goal is a perfect example.
He’s not good enough at this level. I’m not even sure he’d have stood out for us in the championship.

Bizarrely, Fletch on commentary has singled him out for praise.

We should be 3 or 4 up. I hope we can keep it up and not do a Swansea. But it’s strange to be so entertained watching Forest. Shades of 1994/5.

This could be a typo, but more likely it's just tricky making no sense as usual.

We'd been told by some that he would be suited more to European football but no obvious evidence tonight. That said, it's being played more at Premier League pace first half.

Bakwa for Luiz?
I hesitate to suggest what sort of ball that is...

Aggressive substitution…..
