Unfortunate for Szobo to miss this one. Endo/Harvey to start?

[Benzo-13]

Right let’s do these

Big miss away from home.

[Stanley Leisure]

Got a full week between this and United but we’ll need to rest a few - go as strong as possible, fatigue-permitting.

Yeah this really sucks. He can make up for it v the mancs.

It's a blow, for us to have rested him for most of this game too. Jota starting this one will give us a different dimension though.

If Endo was ever going to start, it would have been against Leicester. 

Macca and Ryan will probably start, along with Curtis. 

That aside, hoping we win however way possible, preferably by keeping a clean sheet.

Keep Bowen and Paqueta quiet.  Score first, and start the game well, hopefully 

[Nebraska Red]

Nothing less than a 5-1 win will be acceptable.

Dom suspended

Gakpo, Grav and Nunez will be banned for United if they get a card in this game - or Forest away if they get a card against United.

Also Ibou's in that position too - but isn't likely to play  

After the United game, the ban threshold goes up to 10 yellows up to game 32

Was only on the pitch 2 mins when he got carded and we were winning. Was daft from him

Ref was a bit bloody harsh I thought. Gravenberch also close to one same incident.

I'd potentially be looking at a midfield of Alexis, Curtis, and Elliott (though I'm also open to Endo starting) then.  And a forward line of Diaz, Jota, and Mo.

I really don't want us in a situation of missing key players for the United game.

[psl]

Mo, Jota and Diaz up top.

We love a goal on the break v West Ham

[Ripley]

Mentioned in the Leicester thread as appointments were already made for Match 19s

Referee Anthony Taylor  VAR Darren England First time we've had him on VAR since he invented the good process

No Antonio either.  He’s usually guaranteed a goal but he’s had all his flukes already.

Very true.

I doubt Slot is happy with him. Shame he'll have basically missed 2 games after being brilliant against Spurs. No chance to build on it.

[Conrad]

Same side as last night other than Diaz at cf

Thought it was a harsh yellow

Having that hanging over for the Forest away is annoying too.

It is. But I imagine that the moment Slot sees the Forest team, laser bolts will fly out of his eyes and immolate them immediately. Which should make things easier.
