We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

When your only tactic for 90 mins is cross the ball in to Tarkowski and JOB you are just flat out a crap coach.

Bizarre, they do have some decent creative players and he decided to just blindly hit crosses in at one of the best cross defending teams in the league

I’d have Anderson here to be honest. Gibbs White reminds me of a player who ends up in Spurs reserves .

Anderson was a lot of huff and puff with not much delivery

 

[MikeH72]

This ginger Thatcher loving scab is getting sacked isn’t he. £400m squad by the way, against a team missing its 4 best players haahahaha

Tbh I'm surprised how badly Dyche has this side playing. They have several really good players and yet they look like they're playing with straitjackets on.

This is how every team under Dyche plays. The decent players will end up hating him if they don’t already, he’s a glorified defensive coach who takes no responsibility for his inability to coach attacking play.

Missing the big lump up top.

Strange thing is, with so many options and us with a makeshift back line DM situation, Dyche has players there to set up very different.

That result would have looked better on paper if Forest had scored 3 goals…

 

[MikeH72]

Nobody else could possibly do any better

The likes of Gibbs White and Anderson have the nous to do that though (break lines and play through teams) it’s just weird that they decided to play into our hands given half that squad were managed by him and he knows their strengths

Not complaining though, it justifies my previous hatred of him

Another masterclass from the snot sniveller - what a manager.

 

[BigBeto1]

That new manager bubble has burst already. Seen some fans on twitter calling for his sacking

They had the passing and the pace to try to double up on Patterson, it's what I would have done. Isolate, and get balls on the deck behind the two CB's. That means committing a player at Myko looking for the back post tap in. They have the options, but his rigid game plan of tire JT and JOB out with homing missile headers when their big lump is out seems a bit anti progress. That they tried the same stuff right up to the 95th says there's no confidence in or possibly no plan B at all.

Moyes occasionally gets that stick. Small world.

Listened to his post-match interview for a laugh. Hit nearly every square on my bingo card.

What was his excuse?

What was his excuse?

having worked with them he knows the strengths of the defence and decided to set up entirely to play exactly to those said strengths. prayer.
