Gary Neville making it sounds like a world class performance Vs Barcelona . ' Eriksson, outstanding he really has been',  hes been ok Gary, but calm down. He would have a heart attack if he was watching our game yesterday.

 

Both Neville and Carragher disappeared from punditry the sooner the better for world peace.

What on earth possessed Cooper to put on Surridge instead of Dennis.

By all accounts Dennis is a difficult character in dressing room but guy actually scores goals at prem level when on the pitch. Not sure if @bobzy knows anything given he's based up there but Dennis is their best CF by a mile.

Think Forest will be looking for a new manager this time tomorrow. Since that ultimatum statement they've looked two further games and not really looked like scoring.

Forest woeful from start to finish bad decisions and Navas stopped it from being 7 or 8.

Terrible back line and utterly inept in the final third. Maguire booked after 3 seconds and ropey as ****. How are you not praying on that? Amount of times the 9 or Surridge was pinning him and would receive the ball was bizarre.

Weirdly that public vote of confidence has made Cooper and the team become far more complacent. When it felt like he was getting the sack they had a real backs against the wall attitude. Knowing he's got the job even if they go down has them approaching games as if they are going down.

There’s no sort of conspiracy around Dennis at all. Consensus seems to be that all their strikers are cold at the moment (which they obviously are!) so it’ll just be based on training. Forest fans I’ve spoken to have always rated Surridge’s finishing even if the rest of his game isn’t that great.

Was out with a mate last night who is entirely resigned to relegation. Says that Cooper looks lost - no idea how to turn the form around.

Seeing the Chelsea vs Brighton highlights and I love the way they are under De Zerbi. Potter did a great job there, but they did seem to pass for passings sake. They have a cutting edge now and can score from multiple sources. That Enciso goal was pure quality.

It's amazing what De Zerbi has done when you think about it, they've improved under him.  I never really rated him as a manager before, he was only managing mid to lower Serie A teams before moving to Shakhtar for 1 season, where the finished way behind rivals Dynamo.  Would be surprised if they hold onto him, could see him going back for a big job in Italy or perhaps Spurs.

Picked him up for 10m from Paraguay last year.

This is where the link up with Vitoria can be beneficial for us (and them) as you'd think now we'd be an attractive club for more spanish speaking players. The ready ones can come into the group immediately (like Duran) given we have a few South Americans in the dressing room to help settle them in. And the ones who aren't quite ready (like Duran) can go on loan to Portugal for 12 months and hopefully get 25-30 starts for side that's always pushing for 4th-6th in Portugal.
