Rodri needs a rest before the CL, so I'd like to see Phillips start in this one. Foden needs to play too, they both need minutes.

Phillips cant play the whole game after next to no minutes so not much point to start him , rodders will start and if we are ok give him rest if the game is won
 
It won't happen but what's the harm in giving Ortega a start. He looked rusty AF last time out but I think can handle this assignment as he's a good keeper. He needs more minutes and IMO Ederson could use this time to possibly evaluate what he needs to sharpen.

I agree, we need to smash these and Ortega has show he's good enough to counter their threat. Not been impressed with Eddie as a penalty/shot stopper.
 
Forest are in good form and Cooper is a decent coach so this should be tough. They made their Liverpool home match into a cup final so I’d expect the home crowd to try and make it as raucous as possible. We could do with a good start just to quieten down the ground.

Having said that we’ve just beaten Arsenal on Wednesday so we need to get the 3 points. A hard grind 1-0 would do but a few goals would be nice for the nerves.

I know a few people have talked up Villa but I’d expect Arsenal to be top by the time we kick off. Villa were pretty poor against us and I think they’ll face an Arsenal side with some points to prove.

If we didn't have the CL in the week i'd agree Kaz.
But I'd give him and Foden 60 minutes and replace them if necessary, after that.

What are you talking about, Forest defence has been decimated through injury, we should and will get the 3 points, Villa Park is totally different for the Arse it’s a much tougher game, with an ex manager there and Arse out of form, so I don’t know why you’re so confident in them claiming the 3 points.

It’s probably his OPINION and although I don’t share it I am sure he is entitled to it
 
No disrespect to them, but if we drop points against a forest side that's ravaged with injuries, i fucking give up
