Matt DaviesHOST
[laughs]
Michael TemplePANELIST
Look, that, look, there's credit to Matz Sels for that, for that save-
Matt DaviesHOST
Yeah
Michael TemplePANELIST
... because that could have been a comedy of errors.
LeeHOST
It was a good save.
LeeHOST
But that's what we know we're going to get with Celts, isn't it? He is good at that side of the goalkeeping.
LeeHOST
So, Yeah, really good to see.
LeeHOST
I'm not entirely sure what Murillo was doing.
Dan BardellHOST
And without creating anything that was hugely clear-cut from open play, w- we definitely did enough to be, to be winning that game at half-time.
Dan BardellHOST
And Lindelof's had that, had that chance where a bit of a weird passage of goalkeeping and then it's come back to him and he's managed to hit Sels on the head instead of putting the ball in the, i- in the back of the net, Lindelof.
Dan BardellHOST
But w- I felt like we should've been going in ahead and I was, I was encouraged and I was enthused about how I thought, thought the second half might go.
Dan BardellHOST
Completely out the window after one minute and it's a absolutely abysmal passage of play from Villa.
8 MINS LATER
Dan BardellHOST
But what Mbaye and Mattson gave you down the left-hand side, just that directness and pace, I thought they linked up really well.
Dan BardellHOST
Mbaye was unfortunate not to score.
Dan BardellHOST
He might have even scored off the corner that he won, actually, when he had the shot that Sales parried away out for a corner.
Dan BardellHOST
I thought he was a real plus point because he looked bright.
WolfieHOST
I'll be honest with you.
WolfieHOST
I don't think he had to do too much outside of that clown moment from Murillo, right? I think Sels had a pretty good game.
WolfieHOST
I think I remember a couple of half shots where he's parried them into safety.
WolfieHOST
Nothing too crazy.
WolfieHOST
I think he could have done better for the goal.
WolfieHOST
The header from Alisson, I think it was, wasn't in the corner.
WolfieHOST
And Sels is just slow to get down at times.
WolfieHOST
So I'm going to give him a 69.
David MichaelHOST
Yeah, I mean...
Chris BuddHOST
This one's interesting, I guess, because you've kind of got potentially quite a new-look Villa attack against a fairly kind of settled Forest backline, other than the new shape, because you've got Murillo, Milenkovic, and you've got Sels back in goal, who've been kind of at the heart of all that's been good about Forest over the last couple of seasons, especially obviously when they got into Europe that season.
Chris BuddHOST
Jesus up front, I think, is a good player.
Chris BuddHOST
I've always liked Gibbs-White.
TomHOST
well yeah erm And then I put 10 to 20th minute.
TomHOST
Suzuki made like a half save from a free kick shot edge of the box.
TomHOST
They were playing every free kick short.
TomHOST
Yeah.
Matt DaviesHOST
You picked probably the most aggressive team in terms of changes.
Matt DaviesHOST
So Finchy has got Sels in goal, Diomande comes in, um, Milenkovic, Murillo at the back, Munoz and Williams as wing backs, Sangare back in if fit, McAtee in midfield, and then Dan Ndoye keeps his place with Gibbs-White in behind Liam Delap.
Matt DaviesHOST
You submitted this team before, right? Cunha was called into Brazil squad.
Matt DaviesHOST
I don't know if that-
Matt DaviesHOST
So if...
Matt DaviesHOST
I'll read it out, people can probably remember.
Matt DaviesHOST
Uh, Sels, Shay Cunha keeps his place with Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina and Williams wing backs, McAtee and Schlager, Gibbs-White and Ndoye, and then Delap up front.
Matt DaviesHOST
How come you're thinking unchanged, Dan?
Ross DowsettHOST
Like, I really like that rotation.
Ross DowsettHOST
I actually looked at Verbruggen and Sels on wildcard if you wanna go there too.
Ross DowsettHOST
One that's not really been spoken about too much but I love is Bournemouth/Newcastle.
Ross DowsettHOST
Bournemouth from game week 9 onwards, their fixtures are a joke.
26 MINS LATER
Ross DowsettHOST
You'd never have to worry about that with David Raya.
Ross DowsettHOST
So yeah, it really depends on, on your risk appetite.
Ross DowsettHOST
But like I say, Verbruggen and Trafford, Verbruggen and Sels, even Kinsky and Verbruggen, the rotation still isn't that bad, so you could definitely try it Who are the best defenders outside of Arsenal? Let's assume we've got Calafiori and Konsa.
Ross DowsettHOST
Let's assume we've got a 4 million defender.
Matt DaviesHOST
[upbeat music] Hello, once Forest Focus, we once again hand over the agenda to you for our regular Q&A.
Matt DaviesHOST
We'll tackle questions on the big picture and smaller ones on Nikolic and Milenkovic, the bench and players missing out, number 10s in the attack, Matt Sels and the defense, and our usual random last question.
Matt DaviesHOST
We'll discuss that all in the company of, first of all, Sam Collins.
Matt DaviesHOST
Sam, good evening.
42 MINS LATER
Matt DaviesHOST
Um, let me ask the-- I'll ask David Grant's question, 'cause it is that question I guess.
Matt DaviesHOST
Um, David Grant, channel member, thanks very much.
Matt DaviesHOST
Good as he's been for us, I think Sels might be a weak link in this system with his poor distribution.
Matt DaviesHOST
Glasner will replace him as soon as he can.
HarryHOST
As much as I like the Chelsea attackers and I think they're fine this week, if you've got David Reier, you're probably still looking to play him.
HarryHOST
Then it's Kelleher, Alisson, Leno, Sels, Lamans, Verbruggen, Slakis, Suzuki, now, of course, Aston Villa's number one, Hornacek at Newcastle, Pickford, Kinski, Henderson, Trafford, Petrovic, Rolce, Martinez of Chelsea.
HarryHOST
Just don't expect Arsenal not to score in that game.
HarryHOST
Sherpen and Rushworth.
