Honestly, Tuchel is a prat for not picking MGW. Some of the pundits agreeing with the decision haven’t taken time to watch him. But at least he’ll have a good break during the upcoming international boreathon #nffc

If I had one-tenth of Amol Rajan's self-confidence I'd be a rich man. You could use his stem cells to create a vaccine for imposter syndrome.

An idea: back to Born Slippy before kick off to celebrate Schlager Schlager Schlager? 🤔 #nffc

What a win for Notts! Fabulous result to cap off an unlikely success story of a season. Whatever happens now, it’s been a cracking campaign. Over to the football now… #blast

Once again, a situation perfect for the best player in the Premier League after Christmas. Imagine how good MGW would be teaming up with Jude? Could be on the left or in the middle. I like Eze, but MGW is much better suited to what we need. So frustrating #nffc

By the logic of today’s decision, why didn’t he go and look at the Morato offside decision too? Might as well have the option to overrule any clear evidence? #nffc

We’ll never know what Pereira might have done with a full team. Might well have lost anyway against a good side. But there’s always going to be that nagging frustration isn’t there? #nffc

Not at the races tonight. Was always going to be tough but shame it ended in a pasting. Hope there’s enough left in the tank to finish the job in the league #nffc

Our points per game performance is actually better in games after a Thursday night Europa fixture. Clearly plenty of other factors etc but 18 points from those 14 games compared to 18 for the other 19 #nffc

Smart move from Vitor to tweak that front line and get MGW into space. And what a captain’s innings from him. Heck of a player #nffc

Villa are a good side - classy on the ball, streetwise and lots of goal threats. Had three or four good chances 2nd half so happy to grab a point. Mind you, we had some momentum going ourselves until that baffling free kick against Murillo #nffc

We were on 22 points after 30 games in the Nuno survival season (albeit with four taken off). Sadly, don’t have that season’s Burnley and Sheffield United away to come - but probably need to match the 10 points we got in those last 8?! #nffc

Edu makes a handy scapegoat - and clearly didn’t do the job we wanted. But rearranging the deckchairs to replace one individual is our only real answer to a lot of problems and holds us back doesn’t it? #nffc

There are some deeply deeply strange people who don’t appreciate Gibbs-White. I don’t understand why those people like football. Preposterous goal from a fabulous player. Without him we’d be stuffed #nffc

Narratives build quickly in this league. However much the aggregate win was good and the Liverpool first half promising, this’ll now be 3 defeats in Pereira’s first 4 with City to come 😬 #nffc

Vitor Pereira is in, now what?
The fourth permanent manager of the season is set to fill the City Ground hotseat, but can he save Nottingham Forest from the drop?
