Hint one is Portuguese rather than South American, slipped in there.


Augusto de Almeida Monteiro - Felipe

Nascimento dos Santos - Murillo

Dos Santos de Oliveira - Danilo

Albertino Varela - Andrey Santos (figured he wouldn't have 'Santos' in his name twice)

Santiago Costa dos Santos - Nuno Tavares

Have had my attempt above.

:Thumbs up:

1 and 3 correct

2, 4 and 5 the wrong way round!


Felipe has a magnificent name by the way, you almost want to add Generalissimo in front of it.

For the sake of clarity.
My head spun figuring out three names wrong way round.

I see Dominguez getting a lot of glowing reviews.

Are they justified? Or is it simply player performs well on his debut, Forest fans proclaim him a world beater. Player plays a bit dodgy in debut, Forest fans proclaim him the worst ever and should never play again.

On that note I see Montiel sounds like he had a decent game although Man City strangely retreated into their shells. Suspect Aurier starts at RB next game though, he may have to wait for another chance.

He looked very good to me.
High energy, good technician and also was a leader out there on Saturday.

He’s in the team to stay IMO

I think he had a good start, although similar to Montiel, a lot of that came after the red card. He did come across quite vocal though, wasn't he captain at his last team? Either way, Cooper is pretty consistent for rewarding players with starts if they have good games so I expect he'll play against Brentford. Be interesting to see whether we switch back to 4 as Everton played 3 CBs and beat Brentford convincingly.

I think at home to teams in the bottom half at home it needs to be a back 4 to enable us to get the extra attacking creative player on.

Murillo and Dominguez absolute ballers.

Murillo has certainly made an impressive start. I wonder if his future lies as a defensive midfielder rather than centre half? He's not as tall as most centre halves but he's certainly got the ability on the ball to play a bit further forward.

Montiel has definitely improved from the Burnley match too. Didn't look troubled yesterday and had one tremendous volleyed shot which was deflected over.

We might find a few big offers on the table Jan.

I am calling it from now which I know is extremely early however...

When/if we ever decide to sell Murillo he will break our record for a transfer fee received which is currently the fee we got for Johnson.

Think both look excellent additions. Hope they continue to improve and with forest!
