The 27-year-old from Nottingham Forest may have played in his final match under Nuno as transfer…
Paul Merson posted two comical tweets last night regarding Nottingham Forest last night as Luton and Bournemouth served up a Premier League classic.
At half-time, Luton were 3-0 up and going above Forest on goal difference. By the end, they’d lost 4-3 and were still three points below the Reds going into Saturday’s six-pointer.
So, what did Merson have to say on an emotionally draining night in the Premier League? Let’s take a closer look at how the pundit reacted…
What Paul Merson said about Nottingham Forest last night
Well, it’s fair to say that nobody saw a game of this magnitude coming. With Bournemouth having little to play for, it wasn’t overly surprising that Luton raced out of the blocks and went 3-0 up.
It was a return to the ground for Luton where they’d seen their captain, Tom Lockyer, have a cardiac arrest on the pitch back in December.
As a result, they were up for the game and scored three goals all inside the first 45 minutes. Merson felt it was time to start worrying for Forest, Everton and Brentford, posting on X:
Whatever Andrea Iraola said at half-time clearly had more impact than the words that Rob Edwards left his Luton team with.
Bournemouth scored three goals in 14 second-half minutes and then won the game in the final 10 minutes to stun both sets of supporters.
The Forest fan base don’t always need an excuse to activate meltdown mode on social media and half-time of last night’s game saw the Reds stay true to form.
Heads completely fell away from shoulders and god only knows how some supporters will act if Forest do actually get relegated in May.
It’s important not to get too carried away with other teams’ results and right now, Forest still have their fate in their own hands.
Of course, it was frustrating to see Luton go 3-0 up but at the same time, it couldn’t be better timing that they’ve royally collapsed just days before they face Forest.
As a controversial manager used to say…twists and turns people…twists and turns.
