Pre match: Forest v Liverpool - FA cup; Sunday March 20th, KO 18.00

Tricky little tie this. Forest led by an ex academy manager, good to see him doing well.

Toss up here with resting lads or going all out with the international break coming up. For me I think it has to be use the squad, for the reason that we may well need 1 or 2 of them to be sharp on the run in

Dont think Bobby is in the Brazil squad so Id start him

 Kelleher

Bradley Joe Konate Tsimikas

      Milner Jones Elliott

         Taki   Bobby Origi

Expect Naby to definitely start, Milner if fit , Bobby and Konate also.

I know one thing for sure, TAA won't be playing.

From what I saw, Forest were half decent against Huddersfield, so I hope for a fairly strong team.

I agree - let’s get a good solid mix of senior and young players for this one.

Think Klopp confirmed earlier that Alisson will start on Sunday.

I'd personally go a bit stronger than the side you've put out in the hope that we can get the game done and dusted as soon as possible. The European internationals are only involved in friendlies too, so could see those feature as they shouldn't be going full throttle during the break

Should go with our strongest squad to make sure we qualify, its a very important game as we are very close to a never seen before quadruple.

Have to go through here so play as strong as possible.

Strongest side as always. Get it won !

I want us all out for everything we can get our hands on, and also to keep up the momentum of winning, so strong as possible for me, I’d be tempted to have a back 5 of Ali, Milner, Konate, Virgil, Kostas, Trent out nursing his hammy, Joel a well earned break, Kostas will need game time, Mids… Fabinho remains as DM, Elliot like Kostas needs game time, and Naby lad, up top Jota flanked by Diaz and Mo, international break after so plenty of time to rest the usual suspects,…….


                             Alisson 
           Milner   Konate    Virgil   Kostas
                            Fabinho
              Elliot                     Naby
             Salah        Diogo       Diaz


  Bench; Kelleher, Gomez, Hendo, Robbo, Ox, Bobby, Thiago, Divock, Taki, Fowler,


Wouldn’t be at all surprised tho if there’s  something like 10 changes and using most of the squad, players like Ox, Taki, Bobby, Divock, Gomez, Elliot, Kostas, Ibra and old Father Time Milner,  all needing game time, we will need these guys in the run in especially if we’re still attacking on three fronts, I’m usually f***in miles off so take all the above with a sh*t load of salt.


1-3 Mighty Redmen

Date is wrong in the title by the way, it’s the 20th, not 21st… I was getting excited then thinking there was a game in my birthday and I’d totally got my days wrong.

Ive no clue what day were on

Consider pretty much the whole team is fit he has the luxury of naming a very strong XI. With new of Trent hurt wouldn't be surprised Gomez isn't used at RB just to get him more minutes on that role since he will be called upon after the break.

--------------------------Alisson-------------
Gomez-----Konate---------VvD---Tsimikas
---------Jones-----Milner-------Ketia--
----Elliot------------Firmno-------Jota----

We all hate scabs and scabs and scabs, scabs and scabs and scabs and scabs. We all hate F***ing scabs.

Used to love singing that on the all old kop against this shower.

Date sorted.

Strongest available for me. All must win games now.

NB: Team no longer available

I would have played Kelleher but Klopp said Ali will play :/

I would rest Matip, VVD, Robertson, Thiago, Keita, Henderson and all of the front 5.

3-0 for us

Can you explain why please? I was born in early 90s plus I'm not local.

Notts forest seemingly a very decent side. Field strongest possible team, it is still not impossible to win an unique quadruple. I am not greedy but simply like a lot !

Alisson, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Kostas, Jones, Keita, Elliott, Taki, Origi and Bobby

Goes back to strike in 84-85 and us hating Thatcher and them. Was a pretty big rivalry late 70s all the way through the 80s.

Alisson, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Kostas, Jones, Keita, Elliott, Taki, Origi and Bobby

Is Divock fit? Seems like hasn't been in the matchday squad for a bit, but I agree he should start if he is

Miners strike mate, Notts miners broke the picket lines, hence the Scab calling, back in those days work forces had power, especially the miners, they were the power houses of unions, Thatcher got miner fighting miner, the Miners had built a trust fund for families to use in times of strikes, so as to feed families long term,Thatcher the f***in bi*ch used her powers to have those funds ceased, virtually taking food from miners kids mouths, eventually the Notts miners gave in and broke picket lines, Scabs,

Thatcher was a total cnut, typical Tory, didn’t give a F**k about working class, nothing has changed, Google Orgreave mate, then you’ll get a idea what Thatcher and her bootboy coppers did for the health & safety of workers in this country, ordinary tax paying workers, trying to support their families!!! 


GOT ME f***in RILED NOW !!

We, Malta, got our freedom from Uk in 79. We would have been worse if we stayed and had Thatcher pulling the strings with the governor.

Come on Reds. More excuses to beat them, not that we need them. Henderson's father was a miner?! If so, he knows well about this.

Alisson, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Kostas, Jones, Keita, Elliott, Taki, Origi and Bobby

That's the team I'd go with

Wow, what a team - this is amazing to watch.

I just can’t believe it’s been 23 years since we’ve played them, I mean 23 years ? Can’t honestly get my head round that, the games for a spectacle were superb, two great sides built by two great managers, a lot of people didn’t like Clough, still don’t even though he’s frog up, but I did, he just told it as it was and that’s the way things should be, no airs or graces, if he didn’t like you, he’d tell you straight,

He was a one off Clough, he riled ppl, because they didn’t like his demeanour, but him and Peter Taylor built that Forest side from nothing to become European cup winners..twice..and back in the days where it was straight knockout, that was some feat, the biggest losers were Leeds, under Revie they were a great side too, but they had a close shop mentality and wouldn’t accept changes Clough was making, I think he lasted 27days something like that…. Anyhoo….

That 5-0 was probably one of our best ever performances, against a very good side, looking forward to tonight it’s a cup tie so anything can happen.


23 years ffs !!

Think I might go for 5-0 today, or possibly 4-0 as we’re away 😂

Not sure Forrest fabs really know just how good we can be. Certainly note Arsenal standard, which seems to be giving them some confidence.
Well one of us are certainly in for a shock. Depends on what 11 Jürgen starts with 🤷‍♂️

It has to be the strongest team playing tonight, there is No footy for the next week or 2.
I’ll be pissed if we don’t start s strong line up.

win this and its a trip to Wembley for the Semi's so a very important game no messing about with team selection before they go away on international duty no resting players strongest X1

Apparently the draw takes place at around 5ish today for those wondering. Imagine it will be shown as part of the pre match coverage of our game

Off topic but those Notts turncoats did the working man no favours.
As an ex-miner whose father, also a miner, died during the strike those memories have got me F***ing riled.
How the F**k those cu*ts are in power in this day and age is totally wrong. 

Sorry to be a pain in the arse, it's Nott'm Forest, not Notts Forest, Notts Forest does not exist, Notts County does, but Notts Forest doesn't.

Rant over

I’ve always just referred to them as Forest

It's an abbreviation mate that does come in handy when typing and the club name is used a few times.

Just call them scabs, or is that still allowed?

Have heard them called Notts Forest since I've been following.English football.

Clough went down in my estimations after his comments about hillsbrough though his trophy haul is impressive.
As for the ‘scabs’, I don’t really know where to start on that. My family were all miners and would strike except for my uncle who once went in as he could no longer afford to feed his family. Without pay he was given £14 a week and even though my grandad bailed him out a bit he struggled. Not saying that’s what happened in Nottingham but not all ‘scabs’ should be humiliated further.

As for the game today will be interested to see what team goes out and who is at right back? I have a feeling it will be Gomez.

Liverpool has a long memory where social injustice is concerned and those involved reap what they sow, time is of no consequence.

Sometimes life isn’t black or white though.

No excuses not to field a strong team today with the break coming up, so hopefully a few goals, still, I find myself nervous for some reason, more nervous than I’ve been for a few of our recent PL games.

Having trounced the Arse 0-2 in their own yard your nerves should be well in order.

How many Forest games you been? Plenty of digs about it today. Will be a tasty atmosphere. They're going to be well up for it. Just saying now plenty of "F**k the tories" and slagging off of Thatcher today.

They absolutely hate being called Notts Forest  From back in the day when they were huge rivals and we played them so many times, we had some crazy times at the City Ground, gutted that this match is only half an hour from where I live yet I have no ticket 
We certainly have the quality and experience to batter these but somehow I have a feeling it might be a tight tough game, god I hope I'm wrong. Still take us to win though.

Good point.  Although, technically not a break for some of the players I suppose!

Lovely gesture with the 97 seats left empty

Now lets go old school and have the game put to bed by the half hour mark

We all hate scabs and scabs and scabs, scabs and scabs and scabs and scabs. We all hate f**king scabs.

I preferred F**k em all, F**k em all, at Anfield the Forest will fall. We'll never be mastered by Cloughie's red bas**rds for we are the cream of them all!!

No Salah or Mane involved

Sorry for being at it again… let’s put the game to bed by the first 10m. That would ease the minds of the nervous strawberry fans.

Every striking miner struggled mate, that was what the trust money was for, to feed their families during down time, all those miners worked hard to donate to that fund, it was their money, and that f***in bi*ch Thatcher stole it from them, stole their hard earned money, stopped them supporting their families, that’s the kind of ppl that run this country, f***in parasites, there is absolutely no difference today, their all one and the same, NEVER TRUST A TORY !!
