Felt even worse cos the podcast that used to slag him off, let him off with ‘Oh he just had an off day.’ and no more said. Elanga back, hence 2.5 goals on a plate and he left them all out there.
And Murillo got injured too. Really enjoy watching him play.
Forest such a frustrating team. I think they could be top half. And they play exciting football imo. But you look at City with Rodri, de Bruyne and da Silva compared to Gibbs-White. Hard to shut down all 3.
But today Wood’s famed composure was MIA. As you can read above I think Hudson-Odoi seems okay value, but is also horribly one footed and rarely creates space for his teammates, if you compare his output to Gibbs-White or Elanga.
One part or another goes missing at key moments. They score two or three, then the defense ships four.
Then Awoniyi is also a cracking CF.
I think they really need one more wing forward/creator to take some pressure off Gibbs-White and also give him some space. Two dangerous creators in the team would make them more complete. Unfortunately Reyna didn’t quite settle, but had potential. Neco Williams had been doing a bit before his injury, but imo questions remain over his passing and vision.
Anyway hope Woodsy can shake it off and contribute to at least a couple of wins down the stretch and they can stay up. I’d love to see him push towards 20 EPL goals even if it’s unlikely he’ll get there…
