Match Thread

[willsclarets]

The tresor criticism is just superb. A football message board wouldn't be the same without that level of absurdity

[TPClaret]

Kompany was class in his interview after the game, unlike Heckingbottom at the weekend

[Carwin261]

I know it was only a cameo appearance, but Tresor didn't impress me in the short time he was on although he did see plenty of the ball.

Bloody Hell mate guy plays a quarter of a game and he doesn’t impress you ,you should nonayforever be allowed anywhere near the Turf with a stupid comment like that.

[Ampth7]

That’s a man who knows he’s got away with one

Agree! It’s laughable hearing managers use the old cliche ‘after the luck we’ve had with VAR’ nonsense as if that has some bearing on the decision being discussed.

[boatshed bill]

He's not the only forward at the club you know

Front 3

tresor Amdouni koleosho

OK. Anything you say.

[IPAclaret]

Now I've calmed down a bit, lots to be positive about, not least VKs interview where he said there is so much potential in this team and we're improving.

Somebody earlier in this thread said they weren't impressed by Tresor. I thought the complete opposite, he will be class. Touch, vision, pace, he has it all.

He was magnificent IMO acknowledged too by your man from Brentford
We have one hell of a man in charge
Principled as Sean was but better

This. I thought his touch was excellent.

[CoolClaret]

I personally believe Hecky’s comments were needed at the weekend.

The refs are killing the game, intentionally or not they are.

As for Tresor? He looked every bit a PL player. Some real good touches

[123EasyasBFC]

Trafford getting booked after 10min, is crazy, ederson would have over 20 red cards to his name with how long he takes sometimes

[Dark Cloud]

One day an extremely brave referee will be asked to go and look at a monitor and will actually decide to stick with his original decision, because in his opinion he got it right first time! At which point I'll probably trip over my own jaw!!!

[123EasyasBFC]

There’s absolutely no way VAR let United lose 4 league games in a row on Saturday

Happened at the weekend didn’t it?

[BennyD]

I don’t usually comment on post mortems but I feel I must after that game. VAR is unfit for purpose. Their handball in the build up to their goal was allowed, where a less obvious hand ball in the build up to ours wasn’t allowed. The red card was marginal; I’ve seen worse ignored in many other games. I am seething that incompetence has stolen 2 points off us, and the forest forum agrees with me. Due to my absolute hatred of VAR, I will spend more time watching the Championship than the Prem this season. If I had a season ticket, I’d nail it to Jones’s forehead, with a very long nail or three.

[GetIntoEm]

Treaor did pretty much everything right. Great control of the ball and fantastic passing in tight areas

Strange what some people see

[Tricky Trevor]

I love charlie and he played well tonight, but ian maatsen is on a completely different level. And I think their respective careers will bear that out

Fair point but Maatsen is still unproven as a PL FB. Fine footballer though he is Chelsea haven’t played him there in a meaningful match.

He will be our best player. Did very well today, kept it simple as he eased his way in.

[123EasyasBFC]

Tresor and berge linked very well together in the short time they had

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

How much is Tresors option to buy?

[Colburn_Claret]

Trafford getting booked after 10min, is crazy, ederson would have over 20 red cards to his name with how long he takes sometimes

I was screaming at him to play the ball 8 secs before the ref booked him. Jones got loads wrong tonight, but that wasn't one of them.

[Pickles]

There's a reason he was wanted by AC Milan amongst others. He looked class tonight.

If you haven’t already it’s worth listening to the Kompany interview with JJ Watt. He talks about the talent in the squad like he’s really, really excited by it. Words to the effect of “this season will be hard but get through it and nobody knows how good we’re going to be”.

It’s very infectious and exciting, if potentially a bit exaggerated.

[Colburn_Claret]

Berge is definitely a better player behind the front line, than he is in front of the back 4. For his size he is so weak in the tackle, but did well tonight, and it was never handball

[NewClaret]

I was screaming at him to play the ball 8 secs before the ref booked him. Jones got loads wrong tonight, but that wasn't one of them.

Why would we/he time waste 10 minutes in though? I thought it an odd one and just needed a word really.

[Pickles]

Still fuming.

[123EasyasBFC]

Warning first because that’s setting the bar very high, no way ederson gets booked for taking that long

[123EasyasBFC]

Berge is definitely a better player behind the front line, than he is in front of the back 4. For his size he is so weak in the tackle, but did well tonight, and it was never handball

Berge glides when he’s running with the ball, he will cause damage playing the role he did tonight when he came on

[Colburn_Claret]

Why would we/he time waste 10 minutes in though? I thought it an odd one and just needed a word really.

I don't know why he should waste time either, but he did, and after the weekend and all the discussion, he should have known better. I was screaming because I didn't want him to get booked.

[AGENT_CLARET]

OK. Anything you say.

It's Okay and thank you for acknowledging you were wrong in thinking Rodriguez is the only attacker we can play whilst Foster is out

[Anthonini]

This. I thought his touch was excellent.

Did you see that high ball which he played to the right outside of the foot? That's some Bergkamp stuff.

He did surprise me with his pace, almost as fast as Koleosho it seems. Let him start next game instead of JBG who's just way too slow for the wing position, doesn't go past his defenders, has good passing and work rate but in the PL you'd expect more from a right winger. Tresor and Koleosho look like our best options so far. Quite disappointed with Zaroury so far to be honest, I expected him to carry the offence this season. Looks like it's going a bit too fast for him.

Amdouni is pure class. Today you could see better what he's about. Great goal as well. Really enjoyed him play. Amdouni Tresor and Koleosho should be our attackers with a strong Foster ahead of them.

Next game maybe a chance to do things differently and play Berge or Ramsey on the 10. Amdouni can play as a striker too he does so for the Austrian national team.

[Quicknick]

It was more of a get off me flex than an elbow, their lad has made a massive meal of it

I agree now I've seen it.

[Rick_Muller]

^^^^THIS^^^^

[123EasyasBFC]

I agree now I've seen it.

The fact Yates have got both arms around foster is being ignored to

[123EasyasBFC]

Personally don’t think the back 4 looked comfortable in front of Trafford last night

[Pickles]
