We beat them twice last season.
Doesn’t much matter what the results were mind as they are different players and managers.
We’ve been here with Chelsea and Arsenal being talked up.

Yes, but it was 90+9’ before we scored a winner in the away fixture, which was after Nuno took over.
Games against a Nuno team are never easy. Apart from a 4-0 once we’ve mostly won only by a single goal.

Doesn’t matter how you win, you win. You could say they only won by a single goal in September.

Yeah I think that was @Nikola’s point though, that it’s been tight and they’ve been giving us a hard time.
Nikola’s point is it we should stay humble which we should.
Maybe they should to, it seems they are counting the points already.

Thought it was just a lame attempt at banter. But regardless, if you were them, wouldn’t you be jolly too? 2nd highest points in the league at the halfway mark when you were expecting a relegation battle is not bad.

There were new managers in Liverpool-Man United Anfield fixture, yet the outcome was identical…
Sometimes a team just doesn’t sit well for our team. Leicester and West Ham, I think, I hate when we’re playing against them. It’s not like we didn’t have comfortable wins against them but we lost points to them in seasons where we lost the title by a single point and suffered a few embarrassments in other seasons.
Our recent wins against Forest were mainly by a single goal and I’d be surprised if we managed to score more in case we won there. They are league’s in-form side over the past five or six weeks, so I understand the smugness of their fans. I just hope our lads will be up for it this time.

Is it smugness, or simply (justified) elation?

If you put it that way, you’re right. Write that off on the basis of language barrier, please.

Forest’s big issue is that they are a counter attacking side and that doesn’t work as well at home as it does away.
They’ve lost twice and drawn twice in 9 home games - without playing any of the big sides at home yet. They’ve only scored more than one goal twice (West Ham 3-0 win and Villa 2-1 win).
They’re a side we should be beating but we can’t disrespect ther counter-attacking threat. They showed against Wolves last night how deadly it can be despite being outplayed for most of the game they hit the counter at the right moments, take their chances and win 3-0.

Also, we have to consider what Nuno did tactically against us at Anfield, they never looked like scoring, but he had kept Hudson Odoi and Elanga on the sideline until 70 mins then introduced them. With their fresh legs and pace against our tiring legs, they caused us all sorts of problems.
I thought that was very clever by Nuno

I don’t understand the love-in for Forest at all. They’re owned by a cheat and a general piece of shit. Their supporters have always been dodgy at best. Absolute cunt of a club.
Shite city, too.

for me, they were always historically pretty cool…from the badge, to clough, to the football they played…and then when they were easily the second best football team in the country, we decided to go and thump them 5-0 in what was probably my most ever watched game of football…especially for the time (hardly get to see 90 minutes in the Oz back then)…so to get the VHS…and a bit of the season around it was pure romance
theyve bought a couple of our lads, so its always nice to see them kick on…
im having a hard time raging at thier current stupidity to be honest…probably more to do with my apathy about anything non LFC nowadays…
so yeah…i know im MEANT to hate this current version…but im struggling to work myself up to do it…
maybe others are similar to me?

Yep. That pretty much sums up how I feel about them.
Still, they’re playing well and they’re no more detestable than any of the other chasing pack, so that’s why I previously posted that I would like to see them finish in the top four.
Definitely prefer them to do so than either of the Manchester clubs, Newcastle or Chelsea.

Supporters don’t choose their owners and it’s good to see one of the traditional clubs back in the running.
I don’t hate any club

Nah they can just do what Chelsea have.
Yeah, their owner is pantomime evil, but in a league where a team is owned by the sovereign wealth fund controlled by a man who ordered the actual butchery of a journalist, the dominant side of the era is owned by the sovereign wealth fund by a regime with a dire human rights record, his poor behaviour is just pantomime
