We have much better players available, he shouldn't be starting.

Agree. Get ballard and Alderete in there.

He's simply not a premier League centre half. It's that simple

Aye. Needs dropping if we’re serious about clean sheets.

Not good enough for this level. Heart of a lion but not a Prem centre half.

Aye. With 09 at the back we’ll be shipping 4 or 5 goals a match.

Didn't even play tonight. Bottled it.

Aye. He’s a 🤡.

He’s done great filling-in (bar today) and we all love him but let’s get our proper Premier League centre halves playing

Aye. Let’s get the “proper” lads on.

Said it before and was mocked.. O9 and Alderete work better together than Ballard and Alderete


RLB needs to figure out a way to play all 3
 
We came up slightly short away from home, against a top team who are competing in Europe with O9.

We've been absolutely tonked, against a relegation threatened team, at home, without O9.

I do worry about the intelligence of some of our fans

If he’d played tonight everyone would blame him.

Maybe but if we stand back and relect we all must have seen that, regardless of tonight's drubbing, Luke O'Nien is not a Premier League level player. Next year we need to improve again and that means saying thanks and goodbye to Luke. He's been brilliant and it's great that he's had some games in the Prem but it's time to move on.

Despite their position Forest are on good form. They won their last game 4-1. They are in teh semi final of a European competition. It was a bad defeat and a poor performance but that doesn't make O'Nien any more of a Premier League player. He's just not that level.

Last nights shit show defo puts lasts weeks pile onto O9 into prospective.

Abysmal from all yesterday. Really not good enough at all and 09 was no where near it.
 
If Onien churned that performance out that Alderete Did last night this place would have needed closing down

It must be about the 50th time this season aswell that Alderete has gave the ball away thinking he’s some sort of ball playing midfielder
 
In a way I'm pleased last night happened because it shows Luke wasn't the problem previous games, as many of us highlighted already.

We are still very exposed in several areas and none of that is to do with O'Nien..

Roefs, Ballard, Alderate, Rigg. All were way below par last night. Even Xhaka still isn't kicking long balls which makes me think his foot injury hasn't gone away. I'm expecting an announcement about surgery after the world cup so be prepaired for him missing the start of the season.
