Bloody loves a strong team doesn't he?

I hope we are not running on empty come April. No idea why some of those are starting tonight.

Not one to rest players is Tenners

Much stronger than I thought it would be

Think given our lead he should have rested 3 or 4 more key players

I guess it shows that there isn’t a huge core of players in the squad that he trusts

wtf if you can't rest people for this, when can you?

Surprised Eriksen isn't starting.

it’s all sunshine out of ETH arse.

his squad management is worrying.

there’s no need for casimero to play tonight , bruno also.

just field a mess of a line up and flood the midfield.

forest on their best day won’t score 2 goals against maguire and lindelof.

Maguire still can't get a game

A bit disappointed to see Cas, Varane, Bruno, Shaw and Martinez all start. I'm not sure what it will achieve.

He doesn't get it yet, treats everything as must win for the greater good....



I love it, play on lads...

presumably, he is thinking that forest will know they don't have a chance and our boys can treat it like a training match.

pretty sure that leaving out martinez, varane, cass and bruno would have been ok. shaw, if fit, needs game.

Get a grip. Who else would you have left out, and for whom? Forget about "running on empty in April" - this is about now and trying to win something now.

This line-up is not our best starting XI ffs ... If we started with Maguire some people on here would still moan

Strongish team, get a first goal, make changes at half time.

Gutted to be watching some of our best players. Just gutted.

Oh no.. not positivity.

They’re professional footballers.. they should be able to manage 2 games in a week.

You don’t even know how long they’ll be on the pitch for and you’re moaning.

Have to say, surprised at how strong we’re going here..

Surely we’re going to try cruise it on effort levels, to a degree.

We are 3 nil up you berk

I'd have started 5 who are on the bench.

Pure's gone to the match. I don't think Manchester has the bandwidth for the upcoming barrage of photography.

Okay, you used "berk" and that made me smile. I am okay with this line-up, and obviously there will be changes.

We will win 0-2

5 subs at HT when it’s 5 on aggregate, hopefully.
