Nottingham Forest defender Moussa Niakhate has made a passionate plea to the supporters are yet another defeat. The Reds lost 2-0 to Tottenham on Friday night to leave them with just one win in 13 matches.
Niakhate started against Spurs as Steve Cooper stuck with three central defenders. The 27-year-old signed for Forest in 2022 and is now showcasing what he’s capable of.
The defender has struggled with injuries during his time at Forest. He tore his hamstring last season and missed around six months and in pre-season ahead of 2023/24, he dislocated his elbow.
Niakhate makes plea to Forest supporters
The defender is a fan favourite at the football club. He always gives his all and with Forest desperately looking for a consistent run of form, Niakhate is a leader of the pack.
After the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, Niakhate has come out on Instagram to urge the supporters to stick with the team.
He said: We are living a tough moment together. You are asking for more and you are totally right. Again yesterday you was here for us. We will make sure to be here for you next Saturday against Bournemouth in OUR Home and give you what you deserve ❤️NO ONE GAVE UP. NO ONE WILL GIVE UP.”
Forest have to stick together
The Reds need a win pretty desperately and Niakhate knows that. Next Saturday, Forest face Bournemouth at the City Ground and with tough games to come, three points are a must.
Niakhate is still finding his way a little bit with Forest and in the Premier League. The defender is a decent player and he does seem to thrive on playing in the current system.
The player doesn’t need to worry about the Forest faithful bringing the noise. Forest fans are as loyal as they come and once again the Reds will be out in full force on Saturday.
