Going to adopt the coma mentality.

As in, pretend like I have been in a coma and these players are all performing at their peak levels.

City 3-1 Forest

Come on lads!!!!

The revival starts here.

I think starting KDB is an absolute must for this game if he's fit, would be great to see him heading back to his best and giving the whole team a boost, failing that let's see Grealish more central. Gundo and Silva both need a rest, they both look tired, predictable and easy to play against. Haaland needs something to chase and feed off so maybe a few longer direct balls forward too before the opposition defence has time to reset after we win the ball. I'm sure Pep has his reasons but sticking to the short pass possession based slow grinding down of the opposition is far too predictable and easy to defend against unless we sharpen up massively. We're turning the ball over far too easily for a high pressing team IMHO.

The greatest manager at thinking outside of the box, needs to start doing that?

Well his thinking inside the box is doing great for the last 7 games. All managers - even the greatest, need to bring new ideas into the frame when things aren't going right.

Forest are no mugs, if we pass the ball around for the sake of it they will sit in deep and just watch us doing it, teams don't seem to chase the ball round like they used to do a few seasons back they just sit and wait for a break.

I suspect we do win but they score with their first counter attack annoyingly.

Really looking forward to this, Forest hate the scousers more than we do and because of that I have a soft spot for them.

Saying that, I want them humiliated and shamed as our goal difference reaches new heights. I am just trying to think which boiled sweets would be suitable for the crowd around me for this match/
