I don't know if it's because I feel fairly nervous about this game already, but I have had the odd thought today if the lads will be nervous given what we are experiencing at the moment and probably a decrease in confidence within the group. Just makes me think that the game on Monday could be a very nervy performance from us, where as Liverpool have looked pretty decent of late in the games I have seen them play.
Agree, I'm pretty confident, unfortunately, that we will finish 6th or 7th, hopefully not any lower, but we have made it very hard for ourselves to finish top 5 in my opinion and like you say, this could become a lot worse in Jan!
I haven't heard the interview but from that quote I interpret that as he has picked a team to do a job, the coaches have done their side of the deal but the players haven't delivered.
Agree regarding Burn, absolutely mind-boggling decision to play him given how Tino has performed and also taking into consideration Elanga and Gibbs-White were playing, crazy decision.
In my opinion, it may have been an 'even' game as you call it, but I definitely think Forest (the team who lost 4 of the last 5) seemed more dangerous than us when they broke and were attacking, we wouldn't have scored another in a month of Sundays!
Both of Forest's goals have come from Burn being slow as chuff - Howe has to take responsibility, Tino is head and shoulders above Burn it's ridiculous.
