Nottingham Forest VS Tottenham Hotspur. Sunday the 28th August 2022. City Ground 16:30

[Hrytn]

Jamie O'Hara on SSN just now, saying he thinks Forest are going to be the surprise package this season.

That guy talks rubbish, he is nice guy and Spurs supporter, ie: don't listen much to what he says.

Can we move on from the puns, sorry if that's not a poplar opinion.

You must be fun at parties.

 

[Belgrano]

There's no basis for this in reality.....

Bissouma had covid and missed a significant chunk of pre-season.
Perisic IS now starting (having also missed much of pre-season and had an injury to recover from)
Rich IS playing in the role we expected.
Lenglet is injured.

Forster - For Emergencies.
Spence - Work to do.

Reasons are clear. Conte decided to start the season with those who know his system. The new signings need time to 'adapt to our football'. I just think there's a case for accelerating this.

Likely we will see some rotation next week with 2 games in 3 days.

[oldwiltshireyid]

All the tree puns on the last 2 pages can all be found on the first 2 pages

Shit effort all round

Let’s branch out and widen the search

Right enough of this, I'm off to the summer transfer thread to read what's happening before 1st Septimber.

Sorry but you've just circled round and are merely repeating yourself.

What your saying is nothing more than "Conte should have been playing unfit, unprepared players".

 

[Higgo]

These tree puns are great. Not sure why people are throwing shade.

 

[Murphy]

So anyway. Who's going to the forest this weekend?

 

[Bill Madrid]

Enough already with these terrible tree-related puns!

Let's get back to starting XIs. Here's my line-up...

I never thought a few pages of puns could make me feel sick, but I'm sycamore now than I've ever been.

Oakey doakey?

Its not like he posted a weak team or anything .. that's a strong side. And West Ham will inevitably raise their game for the derby, look at United suddenly deciding they want to put in effort vs Liverpool.

I wouldn't drop Son personally as I think he's a 'play in to form' type of player who is worth the ridiculous upside when he hits it, but Richarlison is worth a shout given his strong cameos..

Doherty and Sanchez playing together is as good as asking for points to be dropped. Doherty is terrible defensively and Sanchez can't cover for his inevitable mistakes.
