Perfect afternoon's work so far, 2-0 up, in full control of the game and playing some lovely football.

Just don't do anything silly in the second half and this should be a comfortable three points.

We look like the best team on the planet and the officiating is disgustingly bad, a pretty normal weekend then.

For Lucho!

We've played some really really good football.

Darwin. Nunez.

Was looking like a demolition job at one point but they've made a bit more of a game of it since, aided by every little decision going their way.

It's obscene how much attacking talent we have out there today.

Dodgy last 5 minutes or so but Forest don;t want to do anything.

Lets score a few more lads.

Brilliant gesture by Jota too.

In control from start to finish. Struggled to break them down when they parked the bus, but after the goal we really started purring!

Fantastic play between the midfield and the forwards to create both goals.

Really looking good!

Hopefully the same from the 2nd half.

Cruise control so far. Let's keep it going in the second.

That was dead sexy. Pure class by Jota in the celebration as well.

Thank you Murillo

Some great football after the first goal. Forest are lucky the game isn't completely dead.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:53:14 pm »

Thought this was going to be tough nut to crack after the first 20 minutes but once we got the first goal we’ve been excellent.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:53:39 pm »

In control and 2 nicely taken goals

No silly mistakes second half and we're fine.

Suprised the ref didnt book Trent for kicking a ball at their player

We’ve worked our way into this nicely, didn’t get frustrated when the final ball wasn’t coming off initially.

An early second half goal would kill it, and stop any nerves.

Mac Allister has broken up play as the 6 really well today

Couldn't want a better team to play against than Forest on a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon. When they venture forward they offer zero threat and they leeve pockets of space in transition quite a lot which is handy

Great half!

Straightforward home game being dealt with the minimum of fuss - as it should be.

Two very well worked goals.

ShrewKop · « **Reply #20 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:54:18 pm »

That’s a great first half. Well played everyone, and a really nice touch for Jotas celebration.

It’s amazing we didn’t have more competition to sign Dom, he’s unreal.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:54:18 pm »

Total domination - we are very good

Darwin has 4 shots and > 1 xg in a half …. He’s sensational

Shout out to Macallister who some on here think is an average 6 .. mystifying to me .. was great for the critical 1st goal

Oldmanmick · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:54:38 pm »

We seem to be improving game by game. It's obscene the amount of talent we have on the field & on the bench.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:54:45 pm »

Haven't got out of 2nd gear, Nunez looks so sharp.

Teams are wasting their time trying to park a Bus with our new midfield now, we have lock pickers who can find that pass to open them up.

Lovely touch by Jota with Lucho's shirt.

Agent99 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:55:10 pm »

This front three is decent isn't it?

Fitzy. · « **Reply #25 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:55:17 pm »

Carried out a 40 domestic chore and missed Jota’s goal.

markedasred · « **Reply #26 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:55:22 pm »

Absolutely shite amount of attempts on goal in the 1st 20 minutes then a pinball amount in the next few minutes. Wonderful. For you, Lucho!

Tobelius · « **Reply #27 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:55:30 pm »

Good work from the lads,good to see us start strongly and a really nice gesture from Diogo Jota.A nice afternoon so far.

we have played well and Forest have just sat back. Can only see them scoring from a silly mistake by us. Just need to be professional now and not get too relaxed/complacent.

Surprised he wasn't given a red card all things considered.

Dominant all round the pitch. Had to laugh at the commentary on my stream apparently Nunez "knew nothing" about his goal it just hit him and then when the replay shows how brilliantly quick he reacted to finish the guy moved onto something else. Just shows you the power of a narrative.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #33 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:56:53 pm »

Did it in second gear. Stepped it up when needed

In a word: dominant

Looking the real deal today, 1 way traffic almost. Class celebration from Jota, hope Luis hears some good news soon.

ThoroughlyMediocre · « **Reply #36 on:** October 29, 2023, 02:57:20 pm »

Jota has been excellent, particularly in build-up which hasn't always been his strongest attribute.

VVD imperious.

Salah is absolutely loving playing with Szoboszlai and Nunez who are such strong runners. Szoboszlai in particular has been immense, absolutely everywhere that half.
