Nketiah’s Struggles Continue
Nottingham Forest supporters have not held back in their criticism of Crystal Palace forward Eddie Nketiah following their 1-0 victory over the South London team on Monday, October 21. The 25-year-old, who opted to stay with Palace instead of joining Nuno Espirito Santo’s side during the summer transfer window, has yet to make an impact since his £30 million move from Arsenal.
Palace’s Disappointing Start
Despite his hefty price tag, Nketiah remains without a goal contribution in five Premier League appearances for Palace. His performance against Forest was arguably his best yet, as he created four chances and had two shots on target before being substituted in the 66th minute. However, his efforts were not enough to change the tide for a struggling Palace side that has now gone winless in their first eight league matches.
Forest Fans Celebrate Their Success
In stark contrast, Nottingham Forest is enjoying a solid start to the season, currently sitting in eighth place and just four points off the Champions League spots. Fans took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to revel in Nketiah’s lack of form and the decision not to sign him. One user quipped, “Hope Eddie Nketiah and Trevor Chalobah enjoyed that one, both turned Forest down to sit 10 places below us.”
Mixed Reactions to Nketiah’s Price Tag
Many fans expressed their relief at not securing Nketiah, with comments highlighting the absurdity of paying £30 million for a player who has yet to deliver. “Sticking to our guns & not signing Nketiah for £30m is one of the best decisions the club will ever make,” one fan remarked, while another noted, “Nketiah is a prime example of overpaying for a player because they’re at a top club.”
Pressure Mounts on Oliver Glasner
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner faces mounting pressure as his team struggles to find form. The contrast between Forest’s successful start and Palace’s woes is palpable, leaving fans and pundits questioning the future of the squad and its star players.
What’s Next for Nketiah?
With Nketiah yet to register a goal or assist this season, the spotlight remains on him as he seeks to turn his fortunes around. Nottingham Forest fans are undoubtedly enjoying the view from above in the league table, while Palace supporters are left hoping for a turnaround in their team’s performance.
