CAN LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE? (A match thread)

Well can it? It could....

We aren't called slump busters for nothing though. So with this in mind, The Scouse are currently going through a mini Slot crisis. Is it gay week yet?

This though doesn't really amount to much as we have yet to keep a clean sheet but under Dyche it's coming.....

CHO is training. As is Luiz. As is Wood. Should we risk them? Callum was a bruise so not so bad. The other two a bit more serious. I would definitely include our match winner from last season. Hutchinson will play a role but I don't expect him to start. Will it be Sangare or Yates or Dom starting? I don't think we should risk our maverick Brazilian but what do I know? Perfect game for some Ryan Shithousing.

Neco was great against Salah the last two times but is he now playing on the left which means Savona has a job on.

I feel optimistic. I think we can manage a draw. That would be lovely. Anfield has not been kind to us but anyway this shakes out. Fuck the Scouse.

Chicago: Digging a Dyche.

I thought Salah played almost exclusively down the right?

My mistake. Salah is left footed. Yes he plays on the right. Yay Neco rather than Savona. Although I rate Savona, I think he is decent and a good athlete but he does have the odd mental rick in him (Arsenal, Leeds). He would have to be switched on for the whole game against the Egyptian.

Anybody but Zinchenko in that back line. Luckily he is still injured...

Chicago: corrected.

Yes. I’m sure Savona will deal with Ekitike…

Liverpool last three games, Loss 3-0 Man City away, Win 1-0 Real Madrid at home, Win 2-0 Villa at home. I think they are out of their mini slump but the Man City result shows that they are not at the same level as last season. Gives us a chance to get something but we will need minimal defensive errors and to take any chances we get. I would be starting with Wood if he is close to 100%.

I know we're not supposed to say so, but it remains a free hit for me. Liverpool away is not going to define how the rest of the season pans out for Forest.

A point would be outstanding (and pile the pressure on Slot). In his head...in his head...

Wood won't be available if the press conference Dyche did today is anything to go by.

He could be doing a Cooper.

3 o'clock on a Saturday! What kind of fucked up time is that to be playing football matches?

I am delighted as I have just come into possession of a ticket for tomorrows match. My last away game was Newcastle last season so that didnt go well

Forest or Liverpool end?

No Taiwo!

Dyche out!

Chicago: Sad.

Dominguez in makes me happy. Dominguez on the wing slightly less so, but I presume the thinking is to give Neco support against Salah.

He said in the presser that he was injured.

Yeah just found that out. If only the big fucker could stay healthy. Unfortunately he is made of biscuits. This is a problem and will be his downfall.

Chicago: Striking out.

I'd forgotten that Dyche loves to make a home team play the "wrong" way.
