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

If Grealish is fit its time to throw him a central spot with Kev, Foden and doku wide

 

[Really_here]

We HAVE to win tonight, I wouldn't be that surprised if Untied scrape points against Arse tonight and I hate the thought of them being just below us in the table. The gap needs opening up again.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Must win game this.

If we can’t be Forest at home we deserve everything we get.

.....which will be what ?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Not what Pep said, he has been dropped as a warning and a shot across his bow.

Several others are in the same position, time to stop sulking and get your acts together.

Do you really think players are sulking?

They are far from sulking, Their confidence is on the floor for numerous reasons this season. Plus they are human like the rest of us they can't pull up trees every year.

Maybe a season like this will do most so called "fans" the world of good.

Given how well Ake played at LB, I'd keep him there and play Gvariol in his 'natural position.' I'm desperate to see Nunes in the middle. I'm sure Pep has reasons for not playing him there, but Idk how he can continue to see our midfield get run by and not think we need one of our only fast players there, even with his downsides. I won't say this is a 'must-win' for the top four, but it's close.

Ortega
Lewis Dias Gvardiol Ake
Bernardo Nunes
Foden. KDB Grealish
Haaland​

I suppose at this stage it could do no harm to throw Nunes into the middle but not sure I would be desperate to see him play anywhere tbh.

Pep looks old these days...

That's what General Relativity can do to a football manager.

I do with Ederson and KDB although sulking is really the wrong phrase, maybe heads turned?

Ederson had the chance to go into semi retirement on 400K a week and I think KDB was seriously tempted by Saudi and the fortunes on offer.

Both have won the lot and have nothing to prove, to get offered the cash they were is mind blowing, even if they are millionaires already.

It's a job to them, nothing more.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Some of our misses are worse than that.

At least he had a shot towards the opposition goal!

Rumours he was last seen on the grassy knoll.

We'll agree to disagree over Ederson and KDB, I can't see how you feel they are both sulking, What have they done exactly for you to suggest they are "sulking"?

Ederson has been good this season, He made a mistake against Feyenoord and all of a sudden he's getting pelters. As for KDB, He's barely kicked a ball all season, Truth be told KDB wears his heart on a sleeve and never hides away from anything, He's a actually too honest on his interviews whether it's with City or Belguim, That's his personality.

We could say alot of the players body language is good over the recent weeks, I wouldn't say it's "sulking", They are going through a bad patch for the first time in a long time.

A few wins under our belts consecutively will happen and all will be back to normal for fans.
