It's time to smash The Enemy without Goals

Pretty much everyone struggles to break down a well set defence. Man City only beat Cov 1-0 and they are very attuned to pulling defences apart.

Agreed, but not really answering my question. I thought (perhaps wrongly) that as a club we wanted to progress to a possession based team as that was, well progress.

But it seems we still want to play on the break without possession. And without wingers and pace we are doing it worse than before.

Happy that it takes time for Glasner to get things working his way, but how is his way different/better/progress?

I feel that was an Edu thing. But Marinakis has decided he doesn't care now.

This lack of identity/ continuity / roots or whatever we want to call it makes following a club a bit meaningless now. Only real reason to buy in is for the people you go / sit with.

There's definitely a strong argument it would be better to sell on home tickets and just go to away games. We tend to do better, but irrespective it's a better day out with a decent atmosphere.

Glasner being the Austrian nazi that he is doesn't like creativity or mavericks. He likes Discipline. That must explain how he has managed to have frozen out Ola straight away. He was excellent at Villa and Cunha was coming back from a hamstring and rusty. Jesus is a way better player and creator than Dan touch me and i will fall over me boy. He has an eye for talent. Obviously Delap looks the part as does Schlager and Munoz but not at the expense of players who have been doing fine. the freezing out of players is mystifying. Was Ola injured? don't think so. Is CHO telling the manager how much he enjoys looking up at the bottom of the patio.

His tactics are rigid and he changed things at the end in a panic. Obvously VAR is a fucking joke but we aren't heading for Europe. I suspect 13 might be possible but we are nowhere anywhere near as exciting or creative as under Vitor. Why? Because he has his players and that's it.

The most damning thing is that If the other team matches our tactics by going exactly the same formation we are completely nullified. This will continue to happen until Glasner shows some form of tactical flexibility.

Boring cunt.

Chicago: Back off to my padded cell.

One game?

Friends, I rioted.

We started early yesterday. Think I'd had about 8 pints before KO. Can't recall much of the game.

After a reasonable amount of post-match drinking thankfully neither can I.

Lucky sod.

Chicago: Jealous.

It’s Olaf in Frozen mate, not Ola.

Ask and ye shall receive.
Sometimes.

If VAR hadn’t needlessly got involved v Spurs and Coventry we would have 4 more points.

We also should have beat Liverpool so that’s another 2, and fuck Leeds they were as shit as is a point seemed fair.

So I’m putting us on on 12 points and joint second.

But in all seriousness, fine margins and all that.

I may be slightly misremembering the stat, but wasn't the first weekend of this season the highest or second highest scoring opening weekend since the Premier League started?

I have pretty much lost patience with Ndoubt. He's got no Forest pedigree of attitude, touch, or effectiveness, so that I can handwave what he's like. Maybe Callum's not using instruction well, but I'd like to see if he could do something with number 10.
