Nottingham Forest were 4-3 winners over Olympiacos but there was a cause for concern that emerged from the game.

The Reds played well for large parts of the game at the home of the UEFA Conference League champions from last season.

Forest scored two goals through Ryan Yates with Anthony Elanga and Chris Wood also getting their names on the score sheet.

The Forest fan base were extremely impressed with the performance of Ibrahim Sangare during the game – but one player received worrying comments.

Murillo has been brilliant for Forest since arriving last summer from Corinthians but he’s now a big-money target for a number of bigger clubs.

After the game on Thursday evening, all Forest fans were saying the same about the Brazilian defender.

Nottingham Forest fans all say the same thing about Murillo vs Olympiacos

The negative comments came after a poor defensive effort when Olympiacos scored their first goal through Gelson Martins.

Fans took to X to share their feelings on Murillo and sum up his level of performance during the pre-season campaign.

Another disappointed fan claimed: “Murillo is having a stinky pre-season.

Some other supporters agreed that Murillo was in poor form but also thought there was a reason.

One wrote: Murillo pulling stinkers is fine by me in pre-season, hopefully putting everyone off a big risky move for him.

Finally, one fan took things a little too far and claimed bizarrely: “Unpopular opinion…Murillo will be the weak link next season.”

Murillo will bounce back from pre-season errors

There’s no hiding that things could have gone a little bit better for the Brazilian during the pre-season campaign.

However, fans should remember that Murillo is still young and there will be imperfections in his performances.

Forest will now look ahead to Bournemouth with a spring in their step and it’s important to note that teams win and lose together.

The Reds can look forward to the opening weeks of the season with a fully fit squad and a transfer window still open to able more additions.

Murillo won’t be happy with his showing out in Greece but in our view, he’s the real deal and we’d rather he got all of his mistakes out of the way now.
