What will happen is we will dominate the ball and if be Forest hitting us on the break unless we control it well like we did second half of our last two league games…

I can't remember Palace hitting us on the break. I remember a few long balls to Ayew, and 2 set pieces they scored from, but hitting us on the break ? I did go and also watched a recording this morning .

Must of missed it.

Wonder what we’ll get from them? Their manager doesn’t seem to be one who sits back and hits on the break but if they play open like he likes to I think we’ll hammer them.

Agree need to stop the breaks and sack the inverted fullbacks as they leave so much space down the wings..

I’m obviously saying this as Im a better coach than Pep will ever be.

Another high scoring thriller coming up

Yes I love a 7 0 thriller

Forest will be a tough fixture at the city ground, but my word Spurs have been poor so one dimensional. Why can’t they play like this against us!

Cos they still think they’re a bigger and better club than us and we’re the usurpers who need putting in our place. Established order and all that.
Just my two penneth.

Edit. Just like Arsenal think about us imho.

I can’t see them being able to deal with us to be honest. I’d be surprised if we don’t win this one fairly easily.

Yeah, if Pep were any good he'd have come up with a plan to stop us ever conceding another goal, certainly from a counter attack!

And when the inevitable chant of champions of europe rings out, Spurs' reply of "champions of europe you weren't even born" is perfect.

Yes he needs to adopt a back 5 low block.
This would shock the open to counter attack folk and they would need another route of attack.
I will be surprised if we don't score more goals while conceding less than any other Premier team this Season.
