Forest vs Arsenal May 20 5:30pm BST (4:30pm GMT) with a morsel of _______

What the hell, I'll put this up …

The main talking point will be that Nottingham Forest remain at considerable risk of relegation. If Leeds win one and they lose both out of their last two, they're down. So we have the opportunity to be cruel here.

I'm curious as to how Arteta responds to our having arrived, finally, at the beach for 22–23. Will he rest a few players, especially given this is away, will he blood anyone new, will there be any tactical quirks or experiments?

Looks like fans are on the beach too 😆

Only thing I have to say about this match is that it's a real shame we didn't win anything in our black kit - that kit deserved to be immortalised.

Just received my black kit the other week. It looks even better in person. Waiting on my fakes to arrive to see decent they are.😄

It's an away game, so reckon it still needs to be a strong lineup. I want the team recording Arsenal's highest ever season total, pride n all. Want see Jesus show some threat today. With Trossard likely getting a starting berth, I'd like to see him back it with some productive and progressive play today. If Xhaka is truly off, I'd like to see Smith Rowe starting in his position. If Arteta is averse, then Vieira.
Edit: actually given it could be a tricky away game, maybe Xhaka has to start.

That went when we lost last week, can only get to 87 now.

Not gonna lie, I don't love this line up, but let's see what happens.

Depending on formation, looks like Xhaka at LCB, LB, or LWB. Tierney remains on the bench.

Tierney is so off. 😆

Tierney's gone in the summer. Hope we can get £40m for him and bring in someone Arteta happy to rotate Zinchenko with at LB. As we can't rely on him for a whole season with no cover.

If we do get a RB/CB in could move Tomi to LB but again can't rely on him so could have issues with that position next season.

Also no Nelson on bench? Also off in the summer.

Panda Hope we can get £40m for him

I pray for your sake that this is actually hope and not expectation. £30m would be a pretty good win. Wouldn't be surprised at something like £25m. Something crazy would need to happen to get £40m.

Didn't notice till you said it. Bye bye, my sweet Reiss.

Even at Forest we have to invert LB. lol

Panda

DiabyKungFu hahaha I said hope. Don't see why we can't get it considering we paid £25m and Celtic have a sell-on clause and we selling him to Newcastle (loads money & CL rivals) and he has proven to be a very solid PL level LB entering his prime.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

QuincyAbeyie ah!

Panda

QuincyAbeyie ahh fair enough. Still expect him to go. Sorry BBKG!
