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.

I am 79 with a hip replacement and arthritus and I would not give the ball away as much as Nunes and I could track back faster than Lewis

A must win game not for anything but it's a must win. I don't care if we never win a trophy again but it's a must win.

If fit enough for 60-70 mins:

……………………….Ederson

…………………Dias………..Ake
…….…Akanji……Wright……Gvardiol

………….KDB……………….Foden
Doku…………..Haaland….…..Grealish

Yes not to go too mad with the youngsters but just 1 in the problem position would boost everyone including the players imo .

If the players have Peps back this really is the game to prove it. To listen first hand to the 10k scousers and 40 k day trippers tell Pep hes getting sacked in the morning was a real low point and an insult to the passion and work he has put into our club .

 

[Keeper!]

Forest aren't mug's. They've beaten the dippers away and drawn with Chelsea away. A pretty solid defence and good on the counter which is our kryptonite at the moment. I'd take any win.

I don't like seeing predictions for us winning four or five nil, talk about fucking jinxing it. Show a bit of humility after recent results.

Win at all cost game.

Scrap, fight, cheat, whatever it takes to get 3 points.

Banter…and good banter at that!

Let’s not take the bait and be raggish about Dippers and their premature ejacu…celebrations!

Watched that first dipper goal again today, talk about a sucker punch, it's as soft a goal as you will ever see in the PL. One ball over the top and Salah is in our penalty area, one on one with Akanji. Why does that hardly ever happen for Doku or Savinho, in contrast numerous times they were confronted with 3 defenders. Any breakdown in the opponents half is lethal for us, everyone we play must expect 2 or 3 chances each half. I imagine Forest will be prepping for just that tomoz. Low block and hit em on the transition, easy peasy, bish bash bosh.....

And Akanji then stood off him by 5 yards, effectively giving Salah an open invitation into our box. Why he didn’t get tighter to him only he will know……
