Yeah there was the Ramadan excuse towards the end of last season. Yes it obviously affected his energy levels, but hes been making stupid mistakes or having lapses of concentration for a while now. No excuses today and that og was nothing short of pathetic. A player who cant even use his right foot. Dont know how we manage it but we almost always look defensively worse when we go with 5 at the back. Even had two defensively minded midfielders in front of the 5 and still shipped 4 goals. Just go back to 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-3-1 please. We're likely going to concede most games, but better to give ourselves a chance with more attacking options on the pitch. The club needs to seriously look at bringing in another CB (hopefully more experienced). Obviously that will depend on moving Bednarek and another CB on, and whos going to be interested in him after todays effort

A team consisting of Valery, Bednarek, Djenepo and Adam Armstrong....cant really expect anything other than a defeat. Theres 4 players who arent good enough at this level, nearly half our team

Saliba looked excellent tonight, still only 21. Think we were interested in him when he was at St Etienne and then enquired about a loan last season

We do enjoy a signing from Ligue 1

Imagine Leicester take McCarthy off our hands after Bertrand and Vestergaard last year 😂😂

Jeez. Goes to show what one season in the Championship on loan can do to a pricetag. £20-25m is alot for a player that never played a game at Chelsea

People on here expect us to have/sign multiple strikers capable of 15+ goals in a PL season. Firstly, those numbers are very difficult in the PL, secondly players of that calibre are £30m plus and in huge demand. Yes he shouldnt be our no1 striking option but Im very happy with Che as 2nd/3rd choice striking option who can chip in with 7-10 goals a season. His hold up play is an asset to us also

Newcastle are seemingly one, but whos the other? Doubt if those clubs are interested that he would choose us (thats if we're actually interested)

Can we not have a 'top 10' striker and Che? He has more than proven his worth since signing and although hes unlikely to hit 15+ goals in a season, he will chip in with 7-10 a season and brings important hold up play to our team

Positives Kane usually has a slow start to the season. No Richarlison who usually scores against us. First games of the season are often cagey affairs which could work in our favour. If we're still in it by the hour mark then the crowd will get restless as they'll be expecting a win. Negatives We're likely starting with 5 at the back and it will be a 5 with us getting bodies behind the ball and looking to counter. Will have to endure alot of pressure and need to ride our luck. Just dont see many goals in us atm. Therefore if we want to get a result we're going to have to shut Spurs out or concede one at most. Our first game record is absolute garbage. Got a feeling about us nicking a 1-1 draw, but head is also saying 3-0 Spurs

We desperately need a goalscorer (as does everybody in the PL). Just dont think theres enough goals in Che, AA and Mara. The midfield will chip in with JWP, Aribo and Stu all likely to contribute, but an injury to JWP and we will be struggling. Would still like us to push for Kaladjzic, his height will be another big advantage. A goalscorer needs the supply/creativity around him. Aribo seems to be a good addition and will create space/chances for the strikers, but just think we need a Tadic-esque AM. Somebody that plays between the lines and can pick that killer pass/cross when needed. Would still like another CB, but will only happen if we shift two out. I just dont see much difference between Bednarek, Stephens and Lyanco. All can be very good on their day, but also very liable to concentration lapses or silly mistakes which get us punished.

Seen a few players wearing a jacket like this after the game on Wednesday which looked decent

Always enjoyed them myself, particularly the on field and tunnel reactions after a win. You didnt see too many when we lost, obviously just deleted the footage 😂

League - City Top 4 - Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs Relegated - Bournemouth, Fulham, Leeds Saints - 13th

Hes certainly better at CB in a three than he is at RB. More cover in a three if he makes a mistake, which he continues to do. Good to see him playing better but hes not the solution and a move would be best for his own career.

Dont scud us 😂

A few posters on here would look good in a back three

And what is when we're attacking? Actually it doesnt matter, that very rarely happens

Wow. Hope we're not seriously considering a more advanced Romeu. He may not be such a holding midfielder according to Ralph, but the defensive side of his game is by far and away his best attribute. Scored a few decent goals, but ballooned many more high and wide

Think I read that they lost 12+ players from their squad last season through loans ending, end of contracts etc. So they needed mass recruitment. Some good signings in there but MGW for £25m plus doesnt seem like good business to me

Or maybe hes getting a run out tomorrow night

With City not willing to sell Delap, I wonder if we now face a dilemma in relation to deciding on Delap or McAtee on loan. Seem to be interested in both, but can only loan one. Joe Shields will be the ultimate decision maker knowing both very well. Think we'll get Delap on loan

Just loan him then. Sign Kaladjzic too if we can

Thats the spirit 😒

As pointed out, the huge salary doesnt really matter when offset by the free transfer and J Lingz may turn out to be a decent signing for Forest. My issue (and Roy Keane's) is that hes another footballer more interested in his image/social media/clothing brand than his actual performances on the pitch. Was also supposedly the player leaking a number of stories to the media about what was going on behind the scenes at United. Dont want this nonsense anywhere near our club
