‘Definitely’ – Nottingham Forest Star Admits Side Specifically Targeted Spurs’ Weakness
Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has insisted that he and his team-mates targeted Tottenham for counter-attacks.insidefutbol.com
Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has revealed that he and his team-mates targeted Tottenham Hotspur for counter-attacks given the kind of pace they got down the wings and that worked perfectly for them.
Responding to a question on whether they targeted counter-attacks against an attacking team, Anderson insisted that it was the case given how much pace they have there through Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
“Definitely [we targeted counter-attack]”, Anderson was quoted as saying by the BBC.
And that’s why we keep losing and conceding goals. Everyone knows our glaring weakness. Mainly because it’s Ben on show for a year and nothing has been done to even attempt to rectify it. Surely the players must have had enough of conceding the same goal by now.
We don’t keep clean sheets because stopping goals clearly isn’t the objective. It just means we need to score 2-3 goals a game to even have a chance of points. That must be taking it’s mental toll too.
Yeah he’s pretty much intimated that in some of his interviews. I suspect the players have had enough by now unless they are total robots. They’re being hung out to dry.
Why? What experience are you basing your opinion on?
Your own understanding and knowledge of a subject is always key to any discussion.
When I first started supporting Spurs in the 1960,s I remember thinking whether it was the attack or the defence to blame when we lost. I came to the conclusion that you should always expect the opposition to score and if you wanted to win you should aim to score Twice in every match. Now I know Ange takes that theory to extremes but losing 1-0 means the attacking elements failed and not the defence. Losing 3-2 is the defence that is at fault.
fair enough, I don't know. Maybe it's all because Scott Munn is running that side of things? Didn't they get rid of the set piece guy that worked under Conte, Gianni Vio? Seems like he was quite experienced ?
I ask you the same question
Scott Munn is not here to hire set piece coaches.

Not sure you are fully aware of how conversations work? And if you do you are choosing to ignore the fact you answer a question. And then come back with one.
A give and take scenario.
Now you’re just wasting my time.
Enjoy your day!
Thank God, 8 can’t stand opinionated people .
What nonsense.
Been as obvious as the day is long there is a template that teams can use to great effect against us.
It's only those that try to play their own game to win, who lose.
Which is ironic, as that's basically us.
(No-one with any sense can dispute that those fans that attends EVERY match EVERY season are the most committed, but....)
You claim that despite the fact that it's virtually impossible for 45-50k season ticket holders to get away tickets; they're to be considered "part-timers"?
That's utter bollocks.
Evidently you don't know what the term "OG" means either.
If Spurs play 50 games a year and you go to 30 you can’t consider yourself a full timer.
Maths mate innit. You need to education yoself!!
And OG has many meanings.
But let’s go with the Merriam-Webster dictionary for this explanation. To help you out a bit as you seem to be struggling somewhat.
“someone or something that is an original or originator and especially one that is highly respected or regarded.”
Seems a lot of people think this fellow here is as big a Spurs fan as Barry the Sandwich.
To be clear.
He’s not.
There’s levels to this fan game.
A gold level season ticket holder is making more of an effort to follow his team than some bloke who switches on the tv once or twice a week.
Just hard facts some on here refuse to deal with.
Take that silliness to the Lane and tell it to the ST holders... M'thinks a fair few will be more than willing to 'educate' you.
"Original" ........ Quite.
So they'll need to be "OG" fans from 1882 and thus around 140 y/o?
...............................Or are you just waffling bollocks?

I’d go to some away teams but unfortunately a lot of away fans sell theirs on and play the system. I’ve little to no chance of getting an away season ticket.
He's a dickhead
