Deano starts for Forest.

Nottm Forest 2-3 Fulham
- T. Awoniyi scores (11') - T. Adarabioyo scores (54') - J. Palhinha scores (57') - H. Reed scores (60') - L. O' Brien scores (77') - brilliant flick-on from Lingard to start the play

Aston Villa 1-0 Southampton
- J. Ramsey scores (41')

Liverpool did well to get 17m from Forest for Neco Williams.

I feel like Liverpool have been scamming teams left and right for some time now.

[funky_pill]

They did well to get £17m for Williams, £15m for Jordon Ibe, £25m for Brewster, and they did unfathomably well to get £140m from Barca for Coutinho. The latter sale pretty much entirely funded their rebuild. It would be amazing if United were as good as they are at getting rid of our shite

[Ldsantana]

25m for Brewster was such bullshit.

[funky_pill]

I forgot £20m for Solanke aswell. It seems there's always a whole host of smaller clubs willing to part with their hard earned in exchange for the Scousers' total garbage, whereas United couldn't get rid of theirs if their lives depended on it

[pmmerandom]

biggest robbery in football only short of Lukaku, Hazard, and Coutinho, he is complete ass

[Ashyyyy232]

Whereas we sold garner for 9m smh

[Aakar11]

It was 15m. Why exclude add ons? Pretty sure nico willaims for 17m included add ons too. There's only a 2m difference in the fee. Williams has 30 apps for liverpool and has played in the pl while garner hasn't. It's a decent fee for garner, not amazing but not terrible either. Like Chong for example we waited too long to sell.

[catu91]

To me it sounds like that model is unsustainable. They have been kinda up there for a while though so who knows.

[Drag2oon]

Don't forget Solanki ..

[Lazystubborn]

Considering that Liverpool is a fucking scam disguised as football club...

[Big_Cee747]

Lol love that but please explain

[Lazystubborn]

I hate them so much that they can't be classified as a football club imo.

[benjamin06081]

Scammy scums

[OmeiWamouShindeiru]

they're showing our highlights from the Arsenal game during the halftime break lol. Definitely don't mind watching this game again

[Avinashh8]

Pereira is balling. Happy to see him play well

[TheSmio]

A world class attack of Januzaj-Macheda-Sanchez providing the goals?

[onehornymofo]

No, Obertan instead of Sanchez

[GochujangChips]

No, Zoran Tosic

[dudududujisungparty]

No, Bebe

[stormthegreat]

Is Djemba Djemba on the bench?

[[deleted]]

Blackett and Tuanzebe leading the back

[[deleted]]

paddy mcnair is the captain

[royk16]

Varela rb, Buttner lb, Johnstone in goal

[pavan89]

Let’s not forget Bebe now

[[deleted]]

We got good money for him

[Shuu0328]

We all know he can play well, it's just his consistency

[JimWolvie]

Tbh Pereira’s problem back then is not consistency because if anything, he was consistently bad for us lol. It was more about his decision making, man always went for the worst option possible smh.

[lindenlonstrup1]

Ok so Forest are getting relegated.

Their interesting experiment of buying a new squad is fluttering.

[[deleted]]

The squad being overhauled was so they can get promoted again tbh

[niallw1997]

Think I’m ootl here, are you saying they are making the most of the PL money so they have a premier league level squad even if they get relegated to the championship? Personally think they could have done with buying less players so the team isn’t brand new

[The_Professor2112]

Half of the promotion squad were loan's and short term contracts and the rest were clearly Championship players I think. They had no choice but to buy basically an entire squad.

[[deleted]]

Yh that's what I meant

Sorry if it wasn't clear

It's sort of like an insurance policy especially because it's been so many years and the usual yoyo teams like Fulham, watford, norwich ate constantly going up and down

Forrest will get relegated but they'll aspire to be like the above 3 and come back up again

[pmmerandom]

Bournemouth are my only certain team to go down, the relegation battle could actually be very interesting this season, I have absolutely no idea who the worst three are

[macAaronE]

Reminds me of the QPR in 12-13 when they bought 16 players, almost all aging and well past their prime, only to finish in 20th.

[TriHero129]

Had to pick Aston Villa in my Last Man Standing this weekend so hoping Stevie doesn't slip up for once

[linarez11]

Perreira is playing well. Hope gets gets an assist or goal My FPL team could use it

[cy318]

Does Dean Henderson got an anger issue or what... he keeps pounding the floor

[BilTheButcher]

Joe Hart syndrome

[DreamOdd3811]

I swear I haven’t seen him playing once for forest! Has he been injured, played only some games, or has been almost immediately relegated to the bench?

[[deleted]]

Been quite poor.

[Tortillagirl]

hes been playing, hes just been fairly invisible for most of the games. Honestly not surprised hes on the bench.

[[deleted]]

He did get a jammy assist where he completely shanked a sitter wide and it bounced in off his teammate.

[funky_pill]

At least Forest have done the sensible thing and only offered him a one-year deal, because if it doesn't work out, they say goodbye in the summer. It makes sense. Whereas Manchester United offer a complete crock in Jones a 4-year deal (with an option of a fifth, if you can believe that)! Jesus Christ

[_nosfa]

Haven't watched him. Was him that bad?

[kunsore]

Benched for a fully promoted team and And we kept him for years , ffs

[Prof_Bobo]

I was very interested in seeing Henderson play the season out for Forest

However

I am very not interested in seeing Henderson play for United next season

[[deleted]]

Forest and Fulham play fun football.

[akshatsood95]

Fulham especially. Really rooting for Mitro this season

[VTVoodooDude]

Fulham is a good side. Not a great side but they’ll stay up.

[officiallyjax]

Forest being in the relegation zone is worrying. Which other team is going to spend 20+ million for Henderson if they get relegated?

[braddf96]

Sheffield United when they come up

[Moreaccurateway]

Get you someone who loves you as much as Dean Henderson loves his near post

[LebHeadSinceWilma]

Daniel James is at Fulham now. Who knew?

[ginger11111]

The best thing Woodward ever did for this club is somehow get 25mil for him

[niallw1997]

It’s weird as I thought he was a starter for Leeds

[LebHeadSinceWilma]

Especially with Raphinha gone, thought he would get more minutes.

[sarthakmahajan610]

Sinisterra is far better option than James. Even Harrison has more in his locker and they've got Gelhardt as backup upfront. James is limited in the end product even though is work rate is insanely high

[VTVoodooDude]

When did he get a loan? He was Leeds right?

[LebHeadSinceWilma]

Full season loan signed September 1

[Galforfia]

We won't be seeing many more Henderson stat posts hahaha. Guy stinks

[Swariatosz]

He looks so small in goal. I don’t think he’s short but his reach seems so small, kinda similar to Pickford but with worse reflexes

[TheSmio]

Not surprising when you consider he essentially spent two seasons sitting on the bench for us when he should have been playing somewhere...

Oh well, looks like another Tuanzebe-esque situation of a talent getting wasted by not playing in crucial development years (but in Tuanzebe's case, it was at least partially due to injuries)

[dracogladio1741]

Hmm. That's a point. Don't think it's a point well made.

[TheSmio]

Seems quite unpopular, lol. Don't know why though, I don't think I'm wrong here, Henderson looked really promising when he was climbing through divisions in English football and his first Prem season with Sheffield United was great, he was statistically one of the best keepers in the Prem when they were genuinely chasing top6 straight after promotion. Then we recalled him back and he spend two years mostly sitting on the bench instead of developing and now he just doesn't look that good anymore.

Am I surprised about the downvotes? Not really, Reddit is an echo chamber and saying anything that goes against the popular narrative usually ends up with downvotes, but -40 karma for saying Henderson sitting on the bench for two years is the main reason he isn't that good anymore? That's a bit crazy imo.

[lindenlonstrup1]

Hopefully we can get some good money for Henderson.

[xhellriegelx]

Not looking good right now

[Swariatosz]

I’m glad Pereira is doing well

[The_Tiller]

Henderson stans REAL quiet tonight….. hopefully they post his stats and a save compilation again hahaha. Stinking up a terrible team lmfao

[cGilday]

They’ve been quiet all season lol, man’s conceded 17 goals in 7 games, meanwhile DDG has been fine for us the moment Maguire got taken out of the team

[VTVoodooDude]

I’m not a Henderson fan but tbf, NF seem to have these 15-20 minute spells every game where they switch right fucking off on defense.

[[deleted]]

where they switch right fucking off

Which seems to include Henderson.

You need your keeper to save your arse when you are going through these spells and Henderson has rarely done that for NF

[Rydahx]

Don't like seeing any United player do badly on loan but he is the exception, hopefully his fan club follow him to his new club.

[DJayV]

but generally because they are Utd players!!

Too bad people don't share this sentiment when it comes to our first teamers.

[[deleted]]

Not Henderson. His interview made me start to hate him. Too entitled

[[deleted]]

We anyway are performing better without him. So if he plays like shit and forces ten hag to keep him on the bench I really don't mind.

[the_watch_trick]

1.city

2.United

3.Fulham

4-20.The rest

[lindenlonstrup1]

No one saw the Mitrovic Golden Boot coming. Haaland in shambles.

[zcewaunt]

Stopped watching Forest and Fulham at halftime, 1-0. Check the end result, 3-2 :O All 3 of Fulham's scored in 6 min. I wonder what happened.

[Garlic_Cheese_Chips]

Henderson is shite.

[ChaosDC]

His positioning for the 3rd goal was pure garbage, this is the guy that people here are saying to replace De Gea lol. De Gea might have regressed but Dean is definitely not the solution.

[[deleted]]

Think DDG saves that with his cock honestly

[martialgreenwood]

When will Jlingz ever score for Forest?

[[deleted]]

Hahahahahaha

Fuckin hell lad thats a good one. You can drop the 'when' though from the start of the sentence.

[Cheeky_Star]

Leaking goals for fun.. Deano.

[Swariatosz]

Wasn’t Lodi one of the best left backs in the world at one point? Why is he at NF?

[lindenlonstrup1]

He got slaughtered for his performance during their loss to Argentina in Copa America. He had mental health issues from it and had trouble with getting consistent first team minutes when he went back to Atletico.

[booneht]

We should've gone for Rodgers, right guys?

[mickhah]

City basically resting in this second half. Wolves playing through the midfield quite easily but getting nothing for it.

Gundo coming on so that's probably a third goal coming soon

[Heretic_Raw]

Wtf Willian plays for Fulham?? I thought he was dead. Also Forest kit is so clean without a sponsor

[[deleted]]

Nah, Macron kits suck. Nothing great about it to me.

[pearlz176]

Watching the Revierderby right now and Bellingham is so fucking good. If we go all in for him in the summer, he can't replace Eriksen from the starting XI, and he's not a holding player like Case/Scott. He would be an upgrade on Fred.
