So why did Bouaddi not start over Enzo?
Enzo Maresca: "If you are not able to win duels and second balls, like we have done in the first-half, you struggle. In these kind of games, first of all, you have to match the intensity, you have to match the desire to win second balls, to win duels, otherwise it's not good..."

Transitions, chaos, intensity running and Bouaddi didn’t feature at all. Fuck off Maresca.

Doing the same mistakes over again is the literal definition of insanity, and I cannot support a manager who could be diagnosed as clinically insane.

Nico O’Reilly partnership with Doku sacrificed to fit all of this in too, sickening stuff.
In their last four starts together, one of Marc Guehi and Ruben Dias have been taken off at half-time in three of them. 0-3 vs PSG, 0-1 vs Villa, and now 0-2 vs Forest

Donnarumma (for now) Nunes Reis/Dias/Guehi (only one starts at a time) Gvardiol O’Reilly Bouaddi Anderson/Enzo (rotate) Cherki Doku Semenyo (when he’s back) Haaland

Lowkey, our best defensive set up is: O’Reilly - Gvardiol - Reis - Nunes/Khusa

We had one of the best partnerships last season with Doku-NOR on the left side and Maresca completely ripped it up so he could fit both Dias and Guehi in his 3-1-6 slop.

Ruben Dias head the ball to a City player: impossible edition.

Play Vitor Reis, honestly he’s better.

Enzo Maresca is too system orientated, and I don’t like managers who think like that.

Nottingham Forest haven’t scored at home all season - enter the Bermuda Triangle.

Play Anderson as the #8, Bouaddi as your #6 and tell Cherki, Foden and Enzo to fight for the last spot with a stick.

If Anderson didn’t have a brain, I think we’d be borderline unwatchable.

Foden ball watching twice to cost us a goal, Doku on please.

If your game model relies on wingers getting isolation and beat their man - you can’t be playing a #10 who isn’t good 1vs1 on the right.

Anderson vs the world is what our midfield out of possession play is.

Enzo Maresca has his own Sergio Busquets and he asked him to lead a press with Haaland today whilst Anderson was on an island by himself holding Enzo’s 30 BMI ass.

Foden should’ve played ahead of Enzo because he can run and lead the press and then you get better out of Bouaddi, who then partners Anderson in sweeping up any loose/2nd ball in their half. Enzo shouldn’t have even played a minute if we’re being honest.
