The commentators on Sky are terrible. TV on mute for the second half.
All our crosses are smashed low and deflected away.
Only one time it was whipped in and it created the chance. It's frustrating for sureCraig Burley is such a barry down the pub commentatorWe're being completely negated from crossing positions, credit to Forest on nullifying that avenue of our attack and making it difficult for the likes of Shaw, Garnacho, Antony in particular. Need to do better in the second half. I feel like we're playing knowing very well that we're 3-0 up and that there isn't a goal difference to worry about like there is in the league. Which isn't terrible, but it does make you wonder if it would have been better to give more rotation players an opportunity as this doesn't look like us "keeping up momentum" at all.
For Forest, I must admit I really enjoyed watching Scarpa in the first leg, and in this leg he's been a bit quieter but still a joy to watch.
6.6”Some of our players are sleepwalking their way through this game.Good to see Sancho on the bench.
Really hope he has a strong finish to the season
I think they just want damage limitation, and maybe get something on the break. Reasonable, really - if they had a real go at trying to claw back a three-goal deficit, they'd probably get annihilated.Pretty poor performance. Created very little. Wout should have scored though.
Might be because he's poor in the air, and prefers the ball played to his feetMay need to mute this. That Scottish miserable twat co-commentator is getting on my nerves.More comments on the commentary in here than the game. Just switch over to bein like I have
I remember the times he have, up in the top stands.
Should he just be our number 9 then?Near total domination only lacking the final product so farDoes she ever stop talking? Lord, too many first teamers out here for a dead rubber. I don't know why you wouldn't just play Maguire and Lindelof here. Now Varane might have a knock. Makes no sense.
It’s like that annoying drunk family member at Christmas who won’t shut the feck up!
They said it was a great save on BeinCan we at least sub off our best players at half time? I'm scared.Not done much other than that Weghorst's header. Forest coul have easily scored from that one chance they had.
Keeper got a great touch on it tbf
Doing my head in.
Forest are a nothing team tonight. We aren’t focused at all, probably because the tie is done and dusted but still, just a little bit of focus and can create much more.
It’s hammering it down. No keeper will want to come for it in that.
The one time we do we hit the post.
We don't really need to score though, do we?That Surridge is a fecking dirty snide cnut, He’s been leaving a foot in all game, we can’t afford any more injuries to key players.Apart from that Casemiro cross, the final ball has been lacking so far.
I'm hoping they are just trying to avoid injury, while still keeping match fit.Not very thrilling for a semi but the 3-0 leads dulled any excitement…
45 mins from a final though so suck it up.
ps i agree the female commentator is so irritating. ” forrest starting to get in to their groove” wtfPoor half, Forrest had the better chances.
Casemiro challenging like Andy Carroll, stop diving in ffs.Steve Cooper
SwoonPlay like that against Newcastle in the final and we will be down at half time. Simple as that. Eriksen not being on the pitch is painfully obviously, though he shouldn't have played here anyway. But I don't know what we are going to do without him going forward.
Also, I had to mute the channel. I genuinely got a headache from the commentary.Autopilot half, really. Think there’s a lot of game management from some of our players
Her voice is just horrible. Add that to the fact she's not got a clue (the other idiots are just as bad)
Varane hasn't played since arsenal...Been a bit crap tbhBring on Sancho for Antony and Mainoo for Casemiro to start the second half...
then Martial for Wout and Maguire or Lindelof for Varane
A wee dab o' speed, eh?Get Maguire on. He'll score from a set piece.
We don't have many natural crossers. Shaw can do it when he wants it but it's not enough. The right side of our attack doesn't cross one bit- Status
