Think the whole country wants us to win tomorrow apart from a few scousers and sheep.

He's insufferable. Can't stand him.

Please win, Forest.

It is very ignorant isn't it.

Doesn't he know what our squad looked like 3 years ago?

Just need to look at wage bill, ours is 14th in the league. Wages spent largely correlate to results on the pitch (although that didn't work under Hughton!)

Bar the first season where we needed to spend our Net Spend for the last two seasons is around £50m which is also 14th.
I don't think a 200m net spend over the last 3 seasons is that bad for a team that needed to build a brand new squad.

Most of the football world wants Forest to win tomorrow.

He basically also said we stick 11 players behind the ball. Still don't really see his words as giving us any credit, think he is just trying to put us under pressure. Pretty foolish....don't think there would be any real complaints if we lost tomorrow from us....all the pressure is on them for this one.

Can't wait for tonight.

I think Liverpool are the best team this season but if we can keep Salah quiet again and attack their full backs then we have a chance.

Absolutely buzzing about tonight. Got to score first to have a chance I think.
Make the most of it, we don’t know if this sort of occasion when the whole country's attention is focused on us will happen again, just imagine if we can pull off a win.

I've been prepping myself for an hour and a half of pure pain. Winning,losing or drawing, I'm kicking every ball. The hours before the game are like waiting for a root canal surgery appointment at the dentist.

Lets hope that Liverpool will be toothless tonight.

Can't wait for tonight. A replica of the away game would do very nicely!

I really can’t call it, excited and nervous. Apparently mist is due at 8pm just in time for the game,  maybe it is falling in to place.
