Not for me and I’m biased, would be fuming if given at the other end
If you put the Forest defence and attack with the wolves midfield you’d have some team
He put his arm into line of contact. Knew perfectly well what he was doing too bizarrely
for the Doc:rofl:
The Doc was skinned there.
Absolutely roasted
That wasn’t a penno imo, inadvertent contact that doesn’t deny an opportunity shouldn’t be a penalty. De Ligt looked like he stopped the ball heading goalwards, which was fair enough
De Ligt’s was, was talking more about Arsenal game
Doherty like a fish outa water playing centre back
We go again
Next Tuesday night will probably be the footix game of the season on the forum.
1 goal conceded from corners this season is one of the reasons we’ve done so well, we were a disaster at set pieces under Cooper
There is always a place for a ruthless bastard like Nuno.
Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle. 4 or the top 5 have teams with serious size and power in the set pieces/transitions/counter.
Bit like Real Madrid scooping the Champions League with Bale, DiMaria and Ronaldo who walloped Barca with tough classy defenders and a savage and ruthless counter.
Football might be going back this way rather than press/tiki taka
Thought the defence was outstanding last night to a man. Sels my MOTM. He was brilliant with corners and crosses into his box. Wolves were unlucky, if Cunha is there instead of Larsen then they probably have two goals in the first half. We are deadly on the break though, will be interesting to see if teams figure us out going forward.
Haaland has given a great life to some very average physically biggish, stiff, Scandi mullockers up front.
50 years ago yesterday Brian Clough took over the management of the club. They’ve won 11 major trophies in their history - 9 of which were under Clough’s stewardship.
Footix alert
Their ground is a massive help as well. West Ham suffer badly for playing inside an athletics track. Fans are miles away.
They didn’t wallop Barcelona though. In six seasons from 2013/14 to 2018/19 inclusive, Barcelona beat them 8 times in 12 league matches with two draws and two Real Madrid wins.
Real Madrid did win the 2014 Copa de Rey final with that goal by Bale in extra-time but that was the only other win they had against Barcelona in that period in a match that could described as in any way serious. Barcelona beat them over two legs in the other Copa Del Rey meeting in that period.
The teams didn’t play each other in Europe.
Sorry Indeed, but they had way more success in Europe in the games that really mattered. La Liga is a far distant second to the Champions League and Barca shipped some brutal beatings, especially to Bayern.
