Average compared to a player that I would consider very good or great. I think Diaz for example is a far better player than Gakpo even if you factor in the headless chicken moments, the ball control and electric pace puts the shit up defenders
Now Ramsey, I think his reasonably good goal scoring record is what made him average. Without it he’d be poor, ball first touch, poor passing even when under no pressure….poor at reading the game, poor at tracking back
Anyway. Good result today and keeps the glimmer of hope alive.
But honestly the number of opportunities we have missed to capitalise on Liverpool dropping points is getting a bit silly.
In some ways, it annoyed me more. But that said, if we won yesterday. Liverpool would have probably ended up slapping United about. I think Liverpool were complacent today, now that’s mainly because they anticipated a walkover against United but you also have to think they saw our result and the pressure was off
From the snapshot highlights, a draw seems like the fairest outcome…both sides missed good chances
United looked the better team defensively, Liverpool looked well pretty open at the back but United lacked confidence to take good chances.
Gakpo’s goal was probably the best goal of the game in that it wasn’t a clear glaring opportunity but it was well struck and well taken. The penalty was a penalty all day long, I don’t really see how Michael Oliver couldn’t have seen that on the field (incompetent?)
Wolves 0-2 Forest, Gibbs-White and Wood.
0-3 Forest, Awoniyi.
