In the wake of Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City yesterday, Ian Wright has criticized one player.
This season, the City Ground hasn’t exactly been a stronghold, but yesterday was not so fortunate for Forest.
Despite having numerous opportunities to take the lead, Forest was ultimately defeated by goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland.
On a different day, things might have turned out very differently, and Forest still has to battle to survive.
Following yesterday’s match, Wright chastised a Forest player and pointed out his mistakes for the day.
Ian Wright criticizes Chris Wood on his Nottingham Forest performance
Though it may come seem as harsh, given his performance yesterday, the £15 million Wood most certainly deserves some criticism.
He won’t look back on this with too much nostalgia because the opportunities he squandered were similar to ones he’s been stashing away throughout the season.
Wright included a critique of Wood in his post-match analysis because he believed that he didn’t overshadow himself.
“When you see the chances Chris Wood misses, he has just executed wrong,” he said on The Wrighty’s House Podcast.
When you practice that kind of stuff, your primary thought is that you are so close to the goal, which is the first one that crosses the goal. Make sure your feet are in order. He wasn’t alert and you need to establish excellent contact, so he missed it because he wasn’t prepared.
“The second one experienced the identical circumstances as the first one. The ball came over again, and this time, he was able to view the entire course of the ball. I don’t mind if you miss a shot when the ball flashes past a defender, but on both of these occasions, he was able to see the ball all the way.
Wood needs a vacation from the Forest supporters.
Here, let’s avoid overreacting.
Although Wood had a difficult afternoon, Forest would already be in the lower leagues if it weren’t for his goals this season!
He’s really stepped up to the plate in Taiwo Awoniyi’s absence, and the goals will undoubtedly return.
Although Wood had a difficult afternoon during the match against Manchester City, he is still a capable player.
This season, the striker has scored a number of crucial goals, but some Forest supporters still believe he isn’t good enough.
That idea, in our opinion, is absurd, and Wood was obviously disappointed to miss the opportunities he did against City yesterday.
