I'm saying that I think we are more reliant on KP than I thought we were. I'm attributing his absence as a contributing factor to why we were 'dire' as you say. Maybe Klich would have created more chances if KP had been there playing in his normal position and Klich had been in his.
My misunderstanding..apologies. Yes Phillips is important as we don't possess anyone else.

Watching Bielsa post match interview...f**k me if I had to listen to this everyday I'd struggle to play any good as well.

I listened to 5 minutes of one MB presser when he first arrived and thought this is intelligible and never listen since. My guess is the reporter asks the question, something gets lost in the translation, Bielsa starts a speech and then something gets lost in the translation...

All members of the team will be hurting, psychologically and physically, after that game.
They need the comfort of knowing we still love our players and we still embrace them as human beings.

Surely this not good for players having to sit through it and try to understand him. The half time team talk must seem like University Challenge to all of them ! I'm losing my belief in the guy and he quickly needs to pull something out of the bag before the crowds turn on him...we all know it will happen eventually.

Sent off why? For the good tackle in our box or was there a bad one I missed?
He had already been booked and then a bit later his opponent got by him and he grabbed his arm from behind and pulled him back onto the ground. The ref gave a free kick and I believe the Forest players were correct in questioning the referee why it wasn't another yellow. It was one of those where the ref gives it if the player didn't already have one.

Forest the first team to out play us this season so far...did someone say they're not very good.
I did say I feared for us after SKY showed all our misses against Wigan and then the goals from Forests last three games. Banging them in for fun they were....
Outplayed by a side that most of their own fans don't know how they win games. Damming indictment of our lot isn't it.
If the same team gets put out against Brentford you'd have to say Bielsa has gone completely barmy. Good job he's not Hecky or TC.

I said all I had to say last week, so won't be wasting further energy on these clowns. Maybe some posters will see that I'm not "negative" just honest.

Cooper swearing at his players and NOT boosting them. V poor captain
Dont mind a Captain doing that.
Shout, swear, do whatever.
Problem is captains who do that tend to perform to a higher standard and expect that from their teammates.
Patrick Vieira, Roy Keane, Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand etc.
Absolutely fuming, gutted, hurting and pissed off this was worse than loosing against Wigan at least we were the better team then, tonight was poor, the players have bottled it and just don’t have an idea how to score or defend
Got to make changes against Brentford but I don’t think Bielsa will
Kiko drop for Meslier
Costa drop for Little Ian
Bamford drop for anyone including the ball boy but preferably Big Kev
Dallas drop for Kalvin - difficult choice as he’s been one of our better players this season but we need to change things up
Please Bielsa do something now before we become the bottlers the entire league hopes we are

Their big DMF hacked down Pablo early, then committed another bad foul, then another one before he got booked for a fourth.
He should have been off first had the ref brandished reds

With Cooper its a case of glass houses.
It's the way he did it ....

Dallas to lb and drop alioski (who should have been sent off today and was generally poor) would make more sense to me
It looked like it was abusive to me from the body language...Not encouraging, Alio didn't have that bad a game, we know he's not a defender, we know it's he's a poor tackler.

I missed that, was that when Ali gave away the FC in the second half?
' "Football is about the people and the players,” he said. “Then there are those who will mingle in the middle: the coaches, executives and journalists. That last group represents the worst part about football" Marcelo Bielsa
