I think their strategy will invariably be to make it a twenty minute game, and bring on their nippy lads on seventy to nick it. It worked for them an Anfield.
That’s why a fast start is really important for us. If we can get a couple of goals up, then we can sit in and their strategy is in tatters.
I would not say no to Trent, Szob, Mac or Grav letting fly from twenty yards out when they get chance.
A few weeks ago:
Slot “Guys, I know you can thrash United, you know you can thrash United, the media expect it and the fans demand it. However, keep your powder dry me boys, there be bigger boats to sink very soon”
Mo’s customary hat-trick and a convincing win please. As above, for god’s sake come out of the blocks at 100mph.
Irony is about 9 years ago I was at Palace V Sunderland and Big Sam was in charge of Sunderland anyhow it was a drudge for 70 mins and then he brought a quick winger who is lost to time on and they won 1-0.
It is a tactic as old as time.
I have been watching the match analyses of Forest last 5 matches and also the match where they beat us. It was interesting how they set the team up when having possession and when without. The running and shape they kept discipline with.
And after looking at all these I strongly believe that the only way we can beat them is to score more than them
Thanks Michael.
I’ve had a crap day so I expect this might add to it.
My day’s just started and you’ve already fucked it.
@mods do something.
They are doing something.
They’re having a cognac and a fine cigar in the exclusive Mods’ Lounge.
You could improve my day @mods
Footage of @ISMF already enjoying the luxury of his high status has already been leaked.
@ISMF APOLOGISE!!!
Given that Slot said only Gomez is injured, is this a good indication that this illness (virus or whatever) that had been affecting the squad is over?
I think pretty much everybody I’ve met in the last 3 weeks has had the nasty coughy ill shit going on. I died several times, even spent an afternoon shopping for coffins. Mostly passed now though.
Presumably something going around. My brother had something a few weeks ago (he is a postman in Liverpool)
I’m currently in Ormskirk at a public event, Everybody is coughing like a 40 a day smoker.
my team for tonight
Ali (needs to wake up a bit though
TAA Konate, Virg, Robbo
Grav Mac
Sozbo
Salah Jota Gakpo
Keep Diaz and Nunezs pace for 2nd half - i think we will look to keep the ball and wear them out.
I think Nunez is suspended for this.
He is.
