Premier League Gameweek 1

I like Forest but I am distracted by Lingard every now and then. FFS lingard you had to join them?

I want forest to get smashed 5 nil every game lingard starts or gets minutes and to win every game in which he doesn't play.
 
Nah he’s a very underrated player in my opinion

I think underrated as in he's better than your typical mid table PL midfielders but don't think he'll be in the same league as KdB, Gundo, FdJ etc

His super power is deadball delivery. You have guys who are otherwise decent technically but can hit a dead ball really well.
 
Forest have been poor in every department. If this is their level then a very tough season ahead for them.

Tbf most of their summer signings aren't playing. But I did think it was a mistake to net get at least 2 of Spence, Garner or Davies in again, all 3 were crucial to their run last year and not easy to replace.

Well no but you’re comparing him to some of the best in the world in KdB.

He’d be a good signing in my opinion and has more to offer than a dead ball

yes people focus on his dead ball prowess and miss other things he does. Nowhere near world class but works hard and would be a good addition to a good squad (but we might be asking too much of him with ours)
 
Any bets on when Newcastle will sack Howe (I know he just signed an extension, and am only joking.... sort of)
 
Not watching, but seems like Newcastle have had a lot of chances. Is Manuel Yashin shutting out Newcastle single-handedly?

Reckon they will do ok this season. And I don’t think he will be under pressure for another year when they will look to start aiming for top 4

With financial rules they can’t spend huge sums right from the off so it will be more gradual than city and Chelsea

I thought it was based on income and their fans are as mad as ours when it comes to seventh away kit etc (joking)!
 
Bazunu's kicking has been uncharacteristically poor so far. Generally he's very good in that regard.
 
First decent chance for Forest there, excellent defending from Schar to block Lingard’s attempt.
 
I know it's not really for this thread but anyone know what martial's injury is?
 
Son beeing greedy there, easy enough pass for Kane. I suspect we'll see a lot more of that from Son this season, Salah style.
 
I realised Newcastle for all of their oil money haven’t signed a player after Sven Botman yes?

Yeah they really haven't had a Robinho moment yet, let alone Silva / Toure / Aguero / Kompany moment. It will come in time. I hope we're ready when it does.
 
If we think we're in trouble, spare a thought for poor Burton... man sent off in first minute, now losing 4-0!
 
I don't know, a feeling he must be annoyed at being snubbed and swept under the rug after having such a good season. It's all about Kane, Salah and co...
Wishful thinking maybe.
