He’ll revert to Trossard, Sterling, Nwaneri (if fit) and it will be a clusterfuck.

I think we need to look at dropping Odegaard. Since the baby the bloke has cliff edged. He looks ill. Something must be going on at home.

Forest will sin in, squeeze the play, let us have the ball and then score from their first shot at goal. We'll have three shots all night; one over the bar, one well wide and one in stoppage time that is straight at the keeper. Four or five times, Nwaneri will put in a perfect ball which drops on the edge of the six yard box and bounces out for a goalkick because nobody is there to tap it in. Trossard will start and not beat his man all evening, Partey will make one decent tackle then amble about looking confused for the rest of the night and be caught out of position every two minutes, Odegaard will have plenty of possession but do nothing other than try that flick pass into a crowded box which will be read and cleared every time, Merino will be up front and nothing else needs to be said about that. Arteta will have Jorginho, White and Zinchenko all brought on in different positions than they should be and all thrown forward in a pathetic and desperate attempt to pretend there's a plan. And we'll probably have someone sent off too because that's about all we manage to create these days. Oh, and Rice will take a corner that causes a bit of confusion in the box at some stage but as it's half-cleared by a Forest defender, Trossard or Odergaard will try to chip it to the back post instead of having a shot. It will be headed away easily.

Intimidating atmosphere against a team who play at a very high level of intensity and are very physical

Our invisible captain is probably shitting the bed already

We won't score. They will. Just a matter of whether it's 1-0 or 2-0

1 shot on target comfortably saved

Zinchenko at left back

Yay, the stuff dreams are made of

Agree with all the above. It's gonna be a long rest of season watching us lose or draw our remaining games.

Sounds spot on to me. Don't suppose you've got next week's lottery numbers too?

Forest have played Good, Quick Entertaining Football for most of this season....Just watching them against the Fat Bellied Choppers and if... IF They play against us like that , we are going to get fucked.

I am one of the more Positive posters on here when posting about Up and Coming games... But even I can see us getting Turned over Big Time unless there is 180Degree turnaround in our Attitude, Commitment and Energy Levels.


Mind you it would help if we had a Striker ( I knowww I knowww I knowww!) and Bench wasn't occupied by a Fat Dwarf who has given up the ghost, a LB whose knees weren't made of Balsa Wood, another LB who didn't go a Wandering when played and another Ex-Chav who had pace and was able to play a game every 3 - 4 weeks.

Well, no other fucker will have those, so it's an unshared jackpot for me. I'll cut you in for 10%.

Fantastic. Let's spend our winnings on a new goalkeeper and a journeyman midfielder.
