Muric or Samba? These Forest fans are split on who is the better keeper
Nottingham Forest fans on Twitter have been divided in their views as to which of their goalkeepers is better; Arijanet Muric or Brice Samba?
Both stoppers were brought into the City Ground during the summer transfer window, but fans can’t decide on which new arrival is the better option between the sticks.
Muric has been the first choice stopper in the league so far this season, but his debut was an absolute nightmare as he made two blunders which cost the Reds a couple of goals.
His second game was better, but once again questions were asked as his distribution left a lot to be desired with a pass success rate of just 40.7 per cent.
The Reds then handed Brice Samba a debut against Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup where the East Midlands outfit kept their first clean sheet of the season.
A number of fans were clearly impressed by the new arrival as many claimed that he should now be the number one choice between the sticks.
Bostock was below par against Fleetwood. Samba is defo No 1 for me

From what I saw last night.
Samba > Muric
Jenkinson > Cash
Figuriedo > Dawson
Ribero > Robinson
Bostock > WatsonThoughts? #NFFC

On the other side of the argument were supporters who think Muric should be starting. One stated that Samba is too inexperienced, while another wasn’t buying into his good performance on Tuesday stating that it was only against Fleetwood.
No, we shouldnt start Brice Samba over Muric in the next championship match.
He's inexperienced and his mistakes could cost us goals. Like if the ball went through his hands or looped over his head. #NFFC— Positive Paul Taylor (@PositivePaulTa1) August 15, 2019
Samba had a decent game at Fleetwood, but no disrespect but it was only Fleetwood. We also only see the players for an hour and a half. He sees them all week. I think Muric settled in well against Leeds after a bit of a wobbly start! #NFFC https://t.co/QcG7YQuXKL

I’d like to keep muric in only to keep samba out the spotlight longer & having him settled for next year will be more beneficial. Now putting sow in instead of Watson though is most needed
