Nottingham Forest (A) - Sun 28th April, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I think we’ll be facing a bear pit tomorrow. They will be charging into every challenge, appealing for everything and putting as much pressure as possible on the referee. We’ll need to keep our heads and take any chances that come our way. Last year we should have buried them before their late equaliser. They now have Nuno in charge who has a decent record against us so I would expect a deep block with a counter attack. Also Gibbs White is a decent player if a complete pain in the @rse. Need to keep Rodri from trying to murder him tomorrow.

We need to play it smart and controlled, give the crowd very little to get excited about and be clinical. If we see we should be fine. We don’t have another match until Saturday so we can go full pelt.

I agree. Time for cool heads and ruthless finishing.

 

[york away to this!]

Let's get out of sight before the refereeing injustice is righted...

Agree they will be full on & concerned Ryan Yates in midfield being allowed to commit foul after foul without any punishment, watched a few of Forests recent games & he is one snidey fecker imo

Summerbee would have stood on his ankle.

CMON City, we’re the best team in all the land and the world for a reason

Not worried in the slightest, Id've love to bet my tax rebate on a City victory, but we would've lost then, so I didn't, thank me later

I don’t like playing teams that are scrapping for survival, especially after all their moaning about the refereeing last week. As others have said we must keep cool heads because they’ll be doing everything possible to throw us off our game.

Come on you blue boys. This is a big one.

I hope we smash these tomorrow and send them down

Forest are where they are for a reason. They are shite.

Forest isn’t an easy place to go, even more so with them fighting for their lives and feeling aggrieved about refereeing decisions last week. Going to be a hostile atmosphere for sure.

Sounds like we may well have a fully fit squad for this one though, which would be nice but makes it a difficult team to predict.

We were so good on Thursday that I’d be tempted not be to make many changes, but it is a quick turnaround and Forest will set up differently to Brighton, so I expect we’ll see some rotation.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
