Just as a note, with 32 points (which are what Forest obtained) it is common to be relegated in the Premier League, they were not relegated just because the statistics did not take into account that Burnley was going to have a terrible season and that Sheffield would have a worse season, and of course there was Luton who had a good campaign but clearly logic said that they were going to be relegated

[@archiemay388]

I watched every forest match last year his problem is inconsistency every match he played he was good for 90% of every match but at least 2-3 times a match he would make a massive error which our defenders had to sort out and when they couldn't we would concede. If turner didn't make so many errors we would've had at least 6-9 more points

Got to say he isn't good at kicking, but he is quite good at other stuff in goal

[@seanhack628]

He isn't, he is shaky at all times, every half chance feels like it could go in, he cannot claim crosses at all and even routine saves can sometimes lead to goals, all of this means the defenders tend to panic whenever the ball is close to the box, as soon as Sels came in our defence was calmer and stopped being as rash with tackles and rushed clearances, now those same players (Aina, Williams and Murillo) are part of the best defense in the league bar Liverpool. Our goalies in the championship, Brice Samba and Ethan Horvath were so sooo much better than him.

Tbh I think going straight for arsenal was the wrong move. And that’s from an arsenal fan.

Nowadays GKs can't just make saves and cut it, they also have to dribble like prime Ronaldinho, pass like prime Busquets and stand on the midfield in the name of sweeping.

[@setsaimu]

it's the same with defenders as well. Because soccer has changed. Build-up play now starts all the way from the back instead of from the midfield because defenders and goalies can see the whole field better than anyone so it is more efficient to start play from the back. You can't be bad with your feet as a GK or a defender. That's why Ramsdale is benched rn and De Gea doesn't have a job
