MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Morato is totally exposed as Nottingham Forest concede early openerLabelled a “walking mistake” and accused of not being “intelligent enough” for the new manager’s style of play, it is safe to say that supporters have completely given up on Morato.With the 24-year-old stunting Zach Abbott’s development at the City Ground, one supporter was angry enough to “never want to see Morato play for Forest again”.



Ouch.There cannot be a single Forest fan left that still thinks Morato deserves a chance #nffc— Rhys Cooper (@dizzee_rhyscal) February 26, 2026 View Tweet It infuriates me we cannot start a game with any rotated players.We have to play our best 11 every match cos we have shite for depth Morato absolutely stinks the gaff out #NFFC— Curtis (@curt_nffc) February 26, 2026 View Tweet Very few have been impressed by Morato since his arrival in the summer of 2024, and it will only be a matter of time before Pereira realises just how useless he is in the back line.@jwkav10: “Morato is not intelligent enough to play this way. Jumping in needlessly as normal.”@C__UFC: “I never want to see Morato and Lucca play for Forest again.”@nffc_316: “Lucca, Yates, Morato disgusting.”Read more: This is what Keith Wyness is hearing about Edu Gaspar’s potential exit.Nottingham Forest fans make up their minds on Lorenzo LuccaThe Reds were making plenty of chances, and despite being an experienced striker, Lucca was absolutely nowhere to be seen when these opportunities were fired into the penalty area.Struggling to get involved, he got himself booked five minutes before half-time, having already made multiple fouls, frustrating the entire fanbase at the City Ground.Just think we got rid of Kalimuendo for Lucca, the lad couldn’t deliver pizza never mind play football. 🤦🏽‍♂️— Mega_Phone_Man (@Mega_Phone_Man) February 26, 2026 View Tweet @NFFC Lucca is the worst striker I've seen in a while.

I wonder what kind of person he is in the Forets squad?— VLK ank🇹🇷🦁 (@ank_vlk) February 26, 2026 View Tweet Lucca is horrendous at football. McAtee is not far behind him. #NFFC— Classic Fo(R)est (@Classic__Forest) February 26, 2026 View Tweet With Lucca currently on loan at the Premier League club, a decision will need to be made on his future ahead of the summer, and it appears that supporters have already made up their minds.Igor Jesus has been far more impressive this season, and if fans had it their way, he would start ahead of Lucca in every single game.
