I've simply Googled "Nottingham Forest" and there is a report related to that story by the Daily Mail, but not much from elsewhere. I'd probably wait until more reliable sources appear

Didn’t the Daily Mail claim Harry Maguire was the next Bobby Moore when he signed for Manchester United?

Hardly renowned for accuracy, are they?
 
Yes, although I wouldn't bee too harsh in them on that failed prediction. After all, I think Sir Alex said Phil Jones had more natural talent than John Terry.

Could be true tho but attuide and work rate are off the charts with JT
 
To be fair, I never really questioned the attitude and work rate with Phil Jones. However, his ability and injury record were brought into question

I'd say his injury record affected his ability because he was once a good defender
 
Video on Twitter of Klopp being a total 🔔 end when signing a shirt for Liverpool fan.
Can’t post as he drops a F 💣
Doesn't look great, but then the video may not show the true context. The fans filming it may have been being total bells (maybe not even Liverpool fans?) before the video. Klopp may have come over, reluctantly, to sign the shirt anyway, but agitated by their behaviour. And, when he did, they could have been moving the shirt all over the place to wind him up further.

Perhaps they were filming it because they knew they were trying to wind him up and found it funny?

Not that I'm a fan of Klopp and his behaviour in the past. Maybe he was just being an idiot. But I'd refrain from condemning him over this incident based on the evidence (that I saw)

I've seen the video and its typical clickbait rubbish.
 
Grassroots is clamping down on bad behaviour as well it seems, one of the football lads who coaches a youth team had this through recently.

We’ve had a brief on this by our CFA.

I can see this causing problems from some teams. Especially if points are tight.

Our CFA are poor at dealing with problem teams. Mostly because they are the bigger clubs who have close links with people running the CFA.

I have personally made a number of complaints about teams which have been brushed under the carpet, yet had to sit in front of the disciplinary panel and explain why I abandoned a game due to safeguarding issues.

Not good to see things have not changed in 20 plus years since I was involved in kids football in Notts.
 
Don't understand it. Henderson if in his prime maybe but now?

Rice and Bellingham are the midfield pair

Attacking mid you have mount, foden, grealish

Back up midfielders you have Phillips , Gallagher

You have eze coming through

Trent and stones able to play midfield

Why do we need him?
Why do we need him?
We don’t, but we have mike Bassett as England manager.
