Forest are fifth. They’ve won away at Liverpool, drawn away at Brighton, drawn away at Chelsea, won away at United… the only away game they’d lost this season before playing us was at Arsenal.Nottingham is not a good team.

Even if they aren’t carrying those injuries anymore, starting one game doesn’t mean they’re fit enough to start the immediate game after just three days later.THEY ARE CARRYING INJURIES
The lack of understanding this from our fans is simply daft.

Well, we’ve got this ‘world class academy’ and we’re winning the divisions at almost every age group, so there might be an answer in there somewhere?We got 4 fit defenders...that includes Walker and Lewis. Who else is he meant to play there with Stones, Ake and Akanji all out injured ? It's hard to sort the defence out with 3 senior defenders on the treatment table. Gvardiol needs a rest, Walker shouldn't be playing and Lewis is struggling defensively but there's no one else available to come in as alternatives.

I’m pretty sure we are so down to the bare bones that we are putting players on the bench, and even on the field, who aren’t 100% fit. Or who are 80% fatigued. It’s not in Pep’s interests to say too much, and so encourage opponents, but it may come out in the wash later.
If ever McAtee gets more than 5 minutes, we’ll know it’s reached desperation level.

The fact that bothers me is when Pep realized that Jack won’t be ready to start he didn’t give the chance to James. He just went back to tactics with Gundo exposed what brought us this bad run.
There is no chance we are getting good results with that idea of playing while Rodri and Kova are out.

I think Pep is more adaptable than you give him credit for.
It's clear Pep doesn't prefer Nunes in the middle but considering no one else is providing assists or through balls to our striker.. Pep is willing to put him on the wing as hes creating chances for Erling and they're on the same wave length and Erling seems to know what Nunes is trying to do. It's similar to his connection with KDB!
Where as with others they look chaotic, like there is no intuition of where to pass to, where Erling should be. Sometimes you start thinking.. why didn't Haaland make a run there?
With McAtee I think Pep did give him 15 minutes vs Feyenoord to impress and he couldn't hold onto the ball and we know what happened.
The biggest example of this is when Rodri lost the ball vs Brighton in the 20-21 season and didn't track back, just looked at the sky and we didn't see him again that season and Pep started Gundo in the CL final vs Chelsea.
So to be a Pep midfielder he has to be able to trust him implicitly that the player will not lose the ball stupidly. Even Foden didn't get a whiff in the middle for 7.. that's right SEVEN years!
I don’t think that should be the reason to expose Gundo and whole defensive line after so many lost matches. We are conceding goals to easily and having only one midfielder is probably the very first reason.I think Pep is more adaptable than you give him credit for.

We lost 0:4 at home from the worst Tottenham side in last 2 years.
It doesn’t work. Gundo only doesn’t work.
But not so bad they can’t come on? Didn’t look injured Weds.THEY ARE CARRYING INJURIES
