Nottingham Forest fans tear into Nuno Espirito Santo after 'mad' twist

Nottingham Forest fans have admitted they’re “fed up” with Nuno Espirito Santos’ tactical decisions after their recent loss against Fulham.

Forest were beaten 1-0 at the City Ground on Saturday (28 September) after a Raul Jimenez penalty in the second half.

The result was their first defeat of the season after two wins and three draws in the previous five Premier League fixtures.

Forest currently sit 10th in the league table after the opening six games, but supporters felt frustrated by some of Santo’s decisions at the weekend.

It marked the first game this season that Santo’s team have failed to score a goal, and many fans felt the team selection was a big part of that.

Forest will be back in action on Sunday (6 October) as they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Nottingham Forest fans believe Nuno Espirito Santo’s lineup was ‘madness’

Fans took to social media after the game and admitted they “deserved to lose,” while others claimed the team selection was “abysmal.”

I fed up with too negative at home again sides we can have a go at. I wish Nuno took some responsibility of that.— Emmo (@Emmerson4) September 28, 2024

Forget the officials that game was lost when Nuno announced his team. He has far more at his disposal than Cooper ever did and the performances and results are not good enough. I won’t be in the majority but for me I would be looking to line up a new manager. #NFFC— ANDREW GABBITAS (@GABBITAS66) September 28, 2024

Wrong formation and lineup today. It says to me that Nuno doesn't trust the team without MGW in it. Which is harsh. We didn't need to play like that. Ah well. Let's hope we learn from this ❤️— Ellie Molloson (@elliemolloson) September 28, 2024

Perhaps …but we deserved to lose that game. Very strange line up. And how come CHO couldnt even beat the first man in that 98th minute corner. Dreadful!?— D.E.I.mustDie (@RJW88251833) September 28, 2024

Right about the ref, Nuno fingerprints are as much on the defeat as the officiating.— Donny_Machismo (@MachismoDonny) September 28, 2024

Thought it was a strong lineup. But the way it panned out. It wasn’t good. And the subs and the changes in systems, seemed to bamboozle the lads… A blip. Maybe Nuno had too much wine, Fridays night…. Next. ????— David Francis Davis (@DavidFrancisDa3) September 29, 2024

Frustrating game.
Regardless of the starting lineup, which I think Nuno will admit did not work, when we changed things our quality was not there. Final decision making, passes, touches and positionally we were just sloppy all round. Game was there to win. Onto the next one #NFFC https://t.co/0yZDTPZC2I— Malcolm Heron ????NFFC????

Nuno you take the plaudits but today you take the criticism. That was rubbish from start to finish, that line up was utter madness, tactical clueless #nffc— Steve Allen (@stekallen) September 28, 2024

Deserved to lose we were rubbish everywhere on the pitch today ,

Another failed formation by Nuno to start ,

Ainas worse game by far

Jota should start ,

All the subs but jota were rubbish

Was it a pen ? Was ours a pen ?— ⚽️Paul Walker nffc⚽️ (@tpall1978) September 28, 2024

That lineup up front was abysmal Nuno, this is on u— SON OF JACOB ISRAEL ???? (@Whiteisraelites) September 28, 2024

What a load of rubbish can't win at home wrong team picked what was Nuno thinking about sometimes I don't get these managers team selection— Carlscotney (@carlscotney) September 28, 2024
