We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

[Neiler]

I watched them against Leeds and it was genuinely the worst performance I’ve seen from any team this season. From a neutral perspective, sacking him after that probably would’ve gone down better than doing it after a game where they had 35 shots against Wolves.

That said, I do think they’ve regressed overall under Dyche. They’re awful on the ball, he doesn’t seem capable of organising a midfield properly, and Anderson looks a shadow of the player he was before Dyche came in.

His football is outcome based for sure and you don’t employ him unless you want to stay in the league or on your arse.

But I never understood the logic of shouting at the fireman after the fire is gone out because your couch got wet.

I’m not really bothered about him now that he’s left Everton - I just find the hate, totally weird and lamentable.

As I w as saying earlier:

Be interested to see what Cooper’s win percentage would’ve been if another manager had qualified them for a European competition to hand him fixtures against Malmo, Utrecht and Ferencvaros.

 

[Saint Domingo]

They’re only three points clear of the drop. Honestly, if you’ve watched Forest since about the second time Moyes got the better of him, you’d see they’ve been pretty poor for most of that spell, Brentford win aside. In fact, yesterday was probably their best performance in the pl in a while, even then it wasn’t great.

Most on here will have lived though a number of relation scraps with this club. In those periods we’d have all been begging for a return of 9 points from an upcoming run of 6 games , you’ll take anything down at the bottom no matter how ugly the football is.

I genuinely find it baffling that any Blues are gutted he’s failed at another club, especially considering how that fanbase behaves. But each to their own.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Why was he sacked then mate?

Go and ask Marinakis

And I’m not your mate.

 

[perth_blue]

Love it if Benitez went there and took em down

Oh please, the only shame we've already played them twice. Someone could have thrown a ham sandwich at the beast.

35 - Nottingham Forest’s 35 shots without scoring was the most by a team without finding the net in a @premierleague match since Manchester United had 38 in their 0-0 draw with Burnley in October 2016. Birtles

It would have looked very different if some of those shots had become goals though!

That's for sure something dychey would say - draws might not be enough if WH continue in this 'ucl form'

Tuesday i was Manager of the Month

But that is the world of football nowadays.


Europe was in my grasp, now it's a tent at Glastonbury..

But he hasn’t been there 6 games has he? We can all cherry pick a block of games to suit our own agendas, for example in the 4 games directly before the magical 6 game run, they’d lost all 4 of them. So actually it’s 9 points from 10 games, which is crap and very much tracking for a relegation scrap points total. Games against bum part timers in Europe don’t pick up Premier League points sadly.

Seems fairly obvious it's because he's one badly crap footy manager. Mate

Why did he hire him then?

You clown.

Show us the one for Premier League matches with the Swedish farmer removed.

You certainly had form for this back in the day, Christ.

Pot kettle black on both sides then I guess isn’t it?
