We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

[Nymzee]

I mean if he doesn’t do better than Dyche there’s serious problems aren’t there? It’s one thing debating Dyche over and over but surely the bar is set higher than 48 points this season for this current squad?

I mean I'd like to think so, but there's still the caveat you're comparing results against teams with different squads and different circumstances etc.

"Not fussed about Moyes vs Dyche but I'll list a few ways to beat Moyes with if he doesn't do better than Dyche."

C'mon now, Daniel.

See what you mean, but my point was not fussed on their personal Vs, only their impact at Everton.

So couldn't care less about Dyches record at Forest this season.

I do. As long as he takes them down. Will build a statue of him myself if he does.

There’s no way that squad is going down even with him at the helm.

Nottingham Forest v Porto (Thurs, 20:00 BST)

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche on squad suiting his style: "I've learnt about the players, obviously.

"There's a few I've known from the past couple of seasons, a few new signings. It's different when you're watching a game analytically to actually working with players.

"Some players are better than you thought, often, and the other way round. It can be that way when you're working up close and personal.

"What we have noticed is the quality, there is a good spirit amongst them, it's just maybe been pushed down a bit by the noise.

"They haven't won games. Winning doesn't cure everything but it goes a long way to making that feel-good factor.

"What we've got to do is find the balance of the framework they've had that worked so well but then the freedom to go and attack and score goals. That's a difficult balance to find."

Still an absolute clown I see.

I don’t know Mike… It’s 50/50 at this point.

Angeball proved to be a big fat load of rubbish… But relying on Dycheball to save your arse is a big gamble.

Their squad is far too good and deep enough to cope with Europe. Every single club in the bottom half including us would swap their attacking options for Forest’s.

I don’t think they’ll get relegated but they wouldn’t be the first side that were too good to go down that did . in fact they wouldn’t even be the first ‘too good’ forest side that went .

If he was alive he`d probably be in line for the next managers job !

He's closer to Nuno-ball in style than fat Ange was, so he'll probably get a bounce playing in a way the players are sort of used to. Nuno was far less hoof, like.
