Nottingham Forest (H) - Wed 4th Dec, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 19:30 (GMT).
I think this is the round of fixtures on Amazon?

Just need to get back to winning football games again. Try and find an XI that will work. Really looking forward to this though.

I'd like to see:
----------Ortega/Ederson
Walker--Dias--Gvardiol--Ake
----------------Akanji
-------Bernardo--Grealish
Savinho---Haaland----Doku

Not sure where some of them are at fitness-wise.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I’ll be there with my pie and pint hoping for a win and if we do win I’ll celebrate it like no other.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Huge game for so many reasons.

 

[Mike N]

Time for us fans to show up.

 

[denTTony]

Please no Ilkay or Lewis in midfield. Interesting to see Jack come on in centre mid, hope he plays there on Weds

 

[chesterbells]

Time for us fans to show up.

Absolutely. Oh, and the players too.

 

[bitterblue78]

Dont know where to go if we dont win this

 

[Dawsenna]

Ironically in seasons when we’ve been flying I’d probably give this game a miss with work commitments etc but with this run of form I’m actually looking forward to it come on blues get some confidence back

 

[Haaland94]

If we don't play 4 CBs at the back, so any 4 from Akanji, Dias, Stones, Ake and Gvardiol, and attempt to shoehorn the likes of Lewis, Walker, and Gundo into the starting eleven we will most likely lose again.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Ortega
Akanji Dias Ake Gvardiol
Gundogan Grealish
Savinho Foden Doku
Haaland

I doubt Kev is fit to start, but hopefully he gets another half an hour or so off the bench.

I know plenty don't want to see Gundo but he's still the best option to sit deep, and with those 4 behind him I think it would be manageable.

Would like to see Jack given a go deeper, think he offers more than Nunes.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

4-0. We will play on today’s positives and get back on track. Grealish and Doku to start.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ortega

Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake

Bernardo
Foden
Grealish

Doku
Savinho
Haaland

Go for the throat.

 

[ercbkippax]

Time for us fans to show up.

Yep, they need us more than ever.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Only one thing is for sure, KDB won’t start!

 

[Paul1970]

Think we will beat forest as I could see glimpses of it today .

 

[hertsblue]

Pep doesnt seem to learn so expect a poor, slow and lightweight midfield again and them hitting us on counters as they are pretty fast. Just hopefully, for once, we put some chances away

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Dont know where to go if we dont win this

Home?

 

[Mighty men]

We just need the 3 points, how doesn't matter.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

4-0. We will play on today’s positives and get back on track. Grealish and Doku to start.

Problem is Doku is best on the left and that seems the only place Pep will play Grealish. I don’t think all is well with the Pep/Grealish relationship to be honest.

Ortega
Walker
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Bernado
Gundogan
Foden - although he could have no complaints if he is dropped.
Savinho
Doku
Haaland

 

[TinFoilHat]

A European qualification 6 pointer.

Wow.
