Nottingham Forest at home Saturday 14th Sept 3pm

I don't think Salah will be making any pointed comments about his contract situation after that stinker.

[Kenneth]

So they basically packed the middle of the pitch and force us to go wide, which we were very poor at. Presumably everyone will do that now so we’d better find a way of making it work.

Yep. Think we can expect to see a lot of this now, it was smart from Forest. We had some chances in the first half but never really turned the screw.

We need the ball to stick in the CF position and we don’t have a player who can do that. Will be interesting to see how Slot addresses this and then also how he rotates now.

Slot Out!

Slot Out!

Salah out... He was awful

[BobTheCharmer]

I wonder why Chiesa didn’t make the bench?

Yeah puzzling. No international duty. Been impressing in training. Doesn't make the squad. Just pick the same team every week.

[Charly]

I may be an Elliott fanboy... but I think he was exactly the sort of player this game needed

New to the squad, was kicked to the youth squad in Juve and had very little pre season. He’ll be built up and slowly integrated, pre game it looked a logical decision

Although in hindsight

Couldn’t have done any worse.

I think you’re right. Would like to see him in Szob’s role for a run when he’s back.

[Scratch]

Did a single player play well today?!?

This one’s on Slot though, the subs were very odd. With the amount of games we have in the next few weeks, why do we have both right backs on the pitch together. Ffs Trent isn’t a midfielder.

Weird that Quansah was hooked at half time in the first game for supposedly losing some duels or something, but szoboslai managed to stay on the pitch for 90 min today- he’s been ****e for a long while now, how’s he not been dropped yet.

To be honest, I think Quansah was an easy moment for Slot to make his mark, show the players he's not afraid to make changes. But hooking a young player at half time for a...not poor, but not brilliant...performance is a lot easier than subbing off an established first teamer, it would seem.

[Le Chef]

That was absolute ****e today, team flat, crowd flat and Salah amongst others stunk the place out, Partly on Slotty that one, **** subs

[Norbs]

Arne Slot, da da dada da

[vlahka]

Would have been a bit better if some of our players didnt look like they'd been bribed to lose. Salah's passing was insane the whole match.

[Kenneth]

This is a really frustrating result having slept on it.
