If you don't have the players to play a certain way then you don't play it. Surely that is coaching 101.

This pre-season can indeed be described as depressing in terms of the football performances so far, where is the entertainment in watching this shit? All kudos to the 800 plus fans who traveled over to Germany

Pre season is meant to be about fitness not entertainment.

Great game 0-0 could have been worse.
A chance to see Arsenal tomorrow, that should be interesting.

Can't say much more than what's already been said. Shelvey looks better than Horvath is the only positive. Midfield players are really good at poor quality passing. Aurier first touch is crap, the ball bounces off him into space with Frankfurt picking up the loose ball. Is Johnson playing?
Ive seen all pre season games and I'm hoping there are 3 worse teams than us in the premier league but I don't know who they are. We have tried pressing a few times and they have easily played out of it. When we try to play from the back their press frightens the life out of us. Where are we going from here?

I think we have done okay so far, a solid away performance.
Eintracht are one of Germany's top teams and we are not just going to turn up and rip them a new arse hole.

Wassy I was referencing football generally from a spectators point of view and not this particular game

We did that last year and lost about 10 games in a row?
Like it or not this tactic was more effective at containing other teams.
Unfortunately I remember, the onus has got to be on the 3 CB managing the space and being willing to bring the ball forward and break the lines- otherwise the midfield are overrun

Yeah this back three is noticeably worse. I guess that's why we've had a flurry of bids go in. I liked it last year when Aurier was there, gave us a bit more attacking threat.

Wassy 50 years of being a Forest fan, cant help it !!!!
RE: Pre-Season Friendlies 2023/24 - JollyLolly - 05-08-2023
Much better start to the 2nd half more forward intent
