Nottingham Forest (A) 1/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Del Woppio]

Jesus christ. Just did a bit of sick in my mouth

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Lop has a lot of credit in the bank but it would be great if he could learn how to pick the right starting 11!

 

[Aikiwolf]

I take all my pre-game enthusiasm.

 

[Tony Towner]

Do we think 1 or 2 subs at half time this week?

At least 2.

 

[Jinky]

Absolutely wank starting 11. I like Lop but he is doing himself no favours at all with these ridiculous starting line ups.

 

[Carrotdude]

That’s a shit team, just hope we’re not 2-0 down by the time he changes it to one that can actually function

 

[WsWolf]

Unless Adama and Nunes are wing backs...

Scares me even more tbh. Would that be 631?

 

[Dire Wolf]

That starting line-up. Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ait-Nouri on the naughty step for some reason.

Starting to lose it with me. His team selections away from home are palpably wrong, every single time

I was talking bollocks. Forgot about Semedo!

I guess it's 451.

----------------------Sa
Semedo Dawson Kilman Toti
Adama Neves Lemina Nunes
---------------Moutinho
----------------Cunha

 

[sycophantia]

I know they won't line up like this, but it looks like a CB at LB (he may not have any other options) 4 defensive midfielders and Traore,Cunha isolated up front.
Hope he knows what he's doing or it could turn very toxic very quickly for Lopetegui

 

[PuntsWolf]

I hope it’s not going to matter and we knick a lucky goal.

 

[Tredman]

Perhaps that’s more a reflection on the players.

 

[YoungWolf]

I’m a bit speechless at that team

 

[Tony Towner]

Forest aren't playing their Championship cloggers

[PuntsWolf]

It’s the same 4231 he played for that spell with Nunes on left and Moutinho in 10.

The issue with that team is it hasn’t scored goals. It needs to change today or we’re in deep shit.

 

[WsWolf]

Perhaps that’s more a reflection on the players.

Not really. Raul and Cunha has looked a decent partnership any time they've been together but he completely ignored that to play Moutinho as a 10 which has never worked.

Playing 4 players out of position for no reason whatsoever.

 

[Del Woppio]

I can't be arsed to work it out obviously, but I'd wager that the career G/A per appearance for that front six is rancid. You can't win games without a creator or a goalscorer on the pitch
