Was my thoughts on squad building rather than what to do next window but I understand your point. If we can get Livra full speed and we can solve RW from within our current group, the squad then needs imo - 1. New no.1 2. Cover central mid 3. Cover striker 4. Cover central defence

While 12pm is now recognised as correct, the proper term is still 12 noon. -
As nervy as it is, in Eddie we trust.

If football was that predictable the bookies wouldn't take bets on it. -
Agreed. He’s 27 😃, and started three league games in Brazil…

Should be Labia for that bunch of cunts.

I also heard Foo King Mings was the best Chinese takeaway in Walker

They'll bottle it the more pressure they are under! -
Could end up in an Austria West Germany 1982 scenario between Forest and Chelsea on the last day if we don't beat Chelsea. Which, as its Chelsea, will be completely endorsed.

It's why we're gonna need to root for arsenal to beat Liverpool this weekend but I doubt they will. Liverpool are at home, and won't want to lose two in a row (especially if this is against arsenal) so they will actually try -

It's not completely out of question to think that we couldnt draw arsenal and beat everton if we draw to Chelsea this weekend, which assuming villa don't win all their remaining games, could be enough assuming that final game between forest and Chelsea doesn't end in a draw. Still much more difficult so I agree we really need to beat Chelsea this weekend -
I wonder if say a longstaff sale allows a hidden gem for under 20m say as a replacement or go towards the pot for other positions?

Just realised Arsenal may need result against us to secure champions league, not ideal.

In goal both Pope and Dubravka have provided room for doubt while someone who could play out from the back seems like an obvious evolution. On the other hand I think it's fanciful to reckon that a new right winger would replicate Murphy's numbers or prove transformative to our play. All of our wingers get good numbers in terms of goals and assists but are lacking in the buildup, and if we're going to solve some of our creativity or ball retention issues I think you could just as well look to the midfield where we sometimes lack guile and control, with Willock and Longstaff now unreliable as backups. Then again if we are talking about need rather than changes and improvements to our style of play, a backup striker is probably the biggest imperative because the fall off from Isak seems huge. Pope and Dubravka still look like Premier League players and we can rejig the squad elsewhere, but right now an injury to Isak would leave us without threat or a focal point. So I reckon at least four new signings, including a new goalkeeper and centre-back then at least a couple of players who can add cover and competition at centre midfield, right wing and striker.
-
I doubt we can afford to fill all those roles at least without selling isak. We're gonna have to decide which positions be we can afford to leave as is for at least another year. Pope and dubravka aren't great keepers but they are decent enough to get by so think we should hold onto them for now. I think defense and right wing are the areas we need to strengthen the most, particularly as we don't have enough cover in these areas.

Still only 31. Should probably be a lesson about supporting players and not boo/criticise them after a bad game.

I have read alot of strange things on here over the years, but this is right up there.

Must say Chelsea have looked much improved since Lavia returned. -

Looking forward to the Celtic game, great club, great fans, great stadium and also a decent level of opposition. Much better than those scummy zombies on the other side of their city. -
I really think it is . Beat Chelsea and we will get top 5, don't beat them and I don't think we will due to the fixtures us and the teams around us have left. Let's see how it pans out .

How about 12pm? edit - tbf if you convince yourself it’s a 12am ko, that could possibly be an acceptable state to find yourself in.

Funnily enough some Man City fans watched the game for MGW and came away saying Anderson impressed them more It's a shame he had to be sold because I do think he's a better Joelinton substitute than the others we have

We beat Chelsea with a gear to spare.
