Didn't look like that against spurs did it

To be fair, their defence looked shaky v Spurs. the amount of space they left for Spurs, they were lucky to concede just 2, look at the space Kane had for his goals.

I said on here on Sunday in the pre-match thread that if they defend like that against us, they’re going to get a shellacking

That said, I don’t think Forest actually did an awful lot wrong tonight, just got steamrolled by a team levels above them.

Mahrez might not get that RW spot back off Bernardo.

Good, always thought Mahrez would be better in a more central position

I think we were absolutely brilliant tonight, probably close to unplayable. Great performances from so many players, Haaland obviously, but Gundo, Rodri, Bernie, Cancelo, Stones, Alvarez all sensational.

The only minor concern is that Foden just doesn’t seem quite right. Other than this team is scary good.

I think Foden will be ok, he never travelled with the team pre-season, so he might take a few extra games to get up to speed. He’s quality, I wouldn’t worry.

Comment on LTLF the Forest forum: “We were like Zouma’s cat out there tonight.”

A superb performance all round. They had one chance, the header at 1-0 and a couple of flurries near the end after all our changes and at 6-0.

Haaland. What can you say??? The lad is an absolute monster. On his first goal the defender is pulling him all over but he was too strong and still scored. His header, what a leap for his hat trick.....and he's still settling in! Alvarez too, what a debut. Full of pace and running and two great finishes. Exciting times.

The first goal was a great show of strength.
The second goal a pinpoint perfect assist,
The third goal was just brilliant
The fourth a beauty
The fifth very well taken
The sixth amazing

What a fucking team!!!!!!!!!

If we can stay fit I don’t know how the league is going to cope

…and hopefully he scores at Anfield

Several times please, in the same game.

You’re being a bit kind on the second goal!
