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

Marmoush could be an issue as he won't be able to break his fast till 6pm.
With the game kicking off early it is not ideal for him.

I suspect that Forest also might have a Muslim player, so it won't be a major issue.

It actually may work in his favour. I don't purport to know much about the Muslim religion but apparently they take on a lot of food and water between nightfall and day break, so he may be fairly nourished, whereas later probably be extremely thirsty and hungry.

I know I couldn't do it so fair play to those that do.

Yep, it's not like this is brand new for them. It's a way of life not an unexpected crisis.

Big chance to make a statement combined with the fact we have two more days to recover.

Forrest have had a great run with injuries most of the season as have Liverpool and its no coincidence their position on the table has benefited significantly as a result.

The news on Rodri should be a shot in the arm for the team and couldn't come at a better time even if he doesn't play this season which I think is far more likely than not.

I believe players can defer their fast on match day, and do it at a later time.

Also the earlier kick off means it will be closer to when he last ate and drank. As long as it is dark they can eat and drink liquid to their hearts content.

Can't they sneak him a chicken and mushroom pie ?

Is Marmoush vital in this game? He has had some good moments but most of those have been at home not away.

Personally I wouldn’t play him.

I don’t think going too gung ho is a great idea there.

I agree.

Forest strength is counter attacking. We should be playing control in this game and unlocking the Viking.

Mazraoui was allowed to break his Ramadan fast during rags game v Fulham yesterday

Living in Manchester he'll pretty much be able to eat and drink whenever.

Couldn't he have some eggs - chopped-up, in a cup?

Just watching Forest v Ipswich, two awful teams IMO, Ipswich terrible but Forest matchning them at being shite. Am constantly surprised by Forest this season, and hope we beat them comfortably again at their place.

They're tough to beat at the City ground

It works, but made a right mess of my hairy chest.

 

[Gorbachev]

They have definitely slowed down in the second half of the season.

You cannot expect the caliber of player they currently have to perform at the level they were at the start of the season all throughout the season.

tricky, even

Muslims are used to it (obviously) and know what suits their bodies, to function normally in their lives, as in particular times to eat....they don't all walk around knackered like zombies during the day ;)
