Zinchenko brilliant signing imo final piece of the jigsaw
All we need now is a manager to get the best out of this multi talented squad and it's not Nuno
He would still pick the same team that lost against West Ham
Uis Bakwa aHutchinson and McAtee must pay v Arsenal.

Sels
Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Zinchenko
Luiz, Anderson
Bakwa, McAtee/ Gibbs-White, CHO

Gibbs-White only if he's not distracted by his personal issues regarding his Mrs pregnancy issues. I'd prob start McAtee anyway.
The only way that team starts is if we get a new manager, I expect.

Yeah totally left field never saw Zinchenko coming, brilliant signing ?.
01 Sep 2025 22:54:29
Until I see Hutchinson play for us I'm not convinced he's good enough from what I saw of him last season at Ipswich, going to be interesting and can nuno rotate them and keep them happy?
I don't think he will use half the new signings and that won't go down well with the big man
Sels, milenkovic, murillo, Anderson, MGW are sure fire starters, the rest will have to fight to keep their place in the starting eleven.

Oh, I've seen a lot of negativity about Edu on here. Well it's Edu's Arsenal connection that landed the Zinchenko signing.
When the left back deal fell apart, a couple of phone calls from Edu to his old club and job done. Left-footed left back who was first choice for Arsenal for 2 years until last season.

As a father, grandfather and Forest nut job, I hope MGW is dropped for the Arsenal game, family comes first! We have a brilliant player toteplace him, McAtee, so use him, let's attack like Cloughie did! Or am I to old hat?

Depending on Nuno surviving the international break DTP. i'm definitely not clamoring for him to go and would one hundred percent prefer him to stay but who knows what Mr M is thinking and you can't blame him for doing what he thinks is right. Look at the money he's pumped into the club over the last couple of weeks of the transfer window. Its an amazing time to support our fantastic club. ?.

I very much doubt Nuno would play the same team that lost to the Hammers.

Cooper didn't play Murillo for weeks and he turned out alright. Give him time to integrate them. There was no need to make any changes to the first 11. He should've made changes during the match admittedly but left it too late and leaving Gibbs-White on was his biggest mistake. He should be in the stiffs for a few weeks until he realises he's not as good as he thinks he is and stops doing fancy flicks and stick to the basics.

I agree, there was good reason not to change the starting line up last week. No excuse for not using subs early, just bad game management.
Just realised, that team I posted can't start the next game. Zinchenko can't start against Arsenal!
Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams
Luiz, Anderson
Bakwa, McAtee/ Gibbs-White, CHO

Savona not fit - ankle injury.

I don't agree there was plenty of reasons to change the team for West ham after the struggle at Palace.
West ham were bottom of the league, down on a bit of confidence and playing away from home, so as a manager should predict they would keep things tight and try and steal a win. We played a predictable starting 11 that they been training all week to prepare. MGW has a few issues going off in his personal life that he needs to sort out, have a capable player in mcatee to utilise, swapping the team would have also given nuno a chance to look at other players in a prem game and would have had that to work on during international break. He now has a big squad, which needs to be trimmed down with the best quality kept so he needs to give others opportunities.

MGW?
gave a goal away?

IF you're replying to me Monty, I said "there was good reason NOT to change the starting line up last week. "
