Nottingham Forest (A) - Sat 8th Mar, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 12:30 GMT.

Full weeks rest at this point in the season for the first time in about 10 years.

Similar team to the one that started again Spurs, need pace and physicality out there. Forest work hard and have a dangerous front 4 that could cause us problems if we're not on it.

I think this will be a very tough game.

------------------Ederson
????---Khusanov---Dias---Gvardiol
-----------Gonzalez---????
---------------------?????
Savinho-------Haaland----------?????

I'm sure of those 7 and then not sure on the rest.

Largely agree with this except for Foden based on current form. It is hard to pick who would go into that spot, but de Bruyne or Grealish would be my picks.

Yes im not set on anyone there. No one has looked good.

It's like a black hole honestly. Whoever plays there just doesn't get involved as much as required and makes it look like we're playing a man down.

We have a whole week to recover so maybe de Bruyne or Grealish can be ready to start again by that time.

Hopefully Ake not back on the table already... that said Reis looked very solid today but Forest obviously a level beyond that.

Have nico play the 6, not that weird 8 role that didn't work against Spurs, kovacic and bernardo can play as a double 8 either side of him which adds some solidity and control to the midfield. Just feed the wingers as early as possible and let them provide for haaland.

Come on you blue boys.

You'll be well pissed come kick off.
7 days is a long wait if you're already in a bar in Espana.

 

[goater1985]

Ederson
Nunes Khusanov Dias Gvardiol
Kovacic Gonzales

Savinho Marmoush Doku
Haaland

Seems obvious to me

 

[Gorbachev]

Win this and we're getting second place.

Only United away in my opinion left that I could see us dropping points in with it being a derby.

I think we will win all of our home games, including Villa and Brighton.

Everton will be on the beach by the time we play them away.

[samuelyeboah]

very confident. Let's secure top 4 (and top 3 with a win here) and start breathing down arsenal's neck. 3rd in a two horse race again for the gunners!

 

[chesterbells]

I think the under lapping runs from Nunes against Spurs gave us real threat and his overall play was first class. For me he has to start again in this next league game at Forest too.
