Fulham scored 3 at Anfield yesterday. I'm sure they'll fancy repeating that on Wednesday. Hard to look beyond a home win and another step closer to Cooper's departure. It's on Amazon Prime. I expect I'll be watching through my fingers again.

Reds by 2. Felipe solidifies the back and a healthier Sangare Yayas the midfield.
-
I worry about Felipe's tendencies of diving in and getting sucked towards the ball. He was very lucky not to be sent off last Saturday.
-
First game back for Felipe, so I'm forgiving.
-
Cannot help thinking we are going to revert to a 3-5-2 for this one. Also I was thinking of you Dave because I was going to pen a match thread called where's the fucking hoover?!?. You clearly felt my steely gaze and came up trumps with this match thread title.
We need a result. We also need a radical rethink of the forward line. Can we do something different? Let's hope so.
I am going for an overly optimistic 2-2.
Chicago: Clearly Bonkers.

Looks like Worrall and Mckenna are down to 6th and 7th in line.
-
CB partnership of Felipe/Murillo tonight becomes Forests 9th (Nine) different CB pairing/trio in the first 15 games this season.
Quite an extraordinary stat.
According to Twitter.
-
Wasn't this the game where both centre halves got injured ten minutes in last season? Maybe we'll also see our 10th and 11th pairing tonight.
-
I am loking forward to acknowledging my ignorance claiming that Origi is a bit sh!t and not the striker for us when he scores a hattrick.
-
Yes, Boly and McKenna, I think.
-
I'm pretty excited to see how it works....Felipe and Murillo have a bit of everything (including carrying the ball out), HO is quality on the ball, Elanga greased lightning, and Origi a natural finisher (shame about the running). My biggest worry at the moment is Dominguez, but Yates or Danilo to come (as circumstances dictate) is positive. Plus MGW against tiring legs, along with some late Woody goal hanging....you can see elements that are positive. Of course football is more complicated than just what you can do...but I am genuinely interested to see how we look.
-
Already this is being refereed very differently from the Luton game last night.
-
I'm not sure what that free kick on the halfway line was for, my first thought was he'd just given head height.
-
Sangare loses the ball again. Felipe overcommits towards the ball again. Fulham score.
