Forest's kit today was very Spursish and on about 5 different occasions I had to remind myself that I was not watching the North London Derby.

Wirtz looks like he picked up a pair of safety scissors and cut his own hair in the mirror.

I suspect they've got a plan. I'm kinda impressed at how they've done business.

Or maybe their recent success is just a house of cards and this is the first one to fall.
All part of the plan…

Word is Nottingham are going to break the glass. Bring in the relegation fighter. Sean Dyche.

I'd do that if I were them. If he can't keep them up, they don't deserve to be up.

You break the glass for Fat Sam.

For Dyche you just ring the bell.

But seriously, Dyche has now become the new Allardyce. He's the guy you call when all you want to do is bunker in and play ugly soccer for draws. Not exactly the reputation you want as a big time soccer manager.

I think Big Sam hit his expiration date. Dycheee replaced him.

But, yea, this is a total scramble drill.

I don't know, there will be someone looking to avoid relegation every year. Who the hell in the Prem is going to hire Ange again? I think even Potter will need to go to the Championship for his next job, but on the other hand, there are a lot of Boards that do love British managers, so maybe Potter can con someone else after he gets done with this international thing for Sweden.

I love that he keeps giving away the game plan. just play old school over the top, deep corners and long throws. Slot apparently has no idea how to defend it.

Is it weird that I read that last quote in the voice of Uli Kunkel?

but it wasn't Uli that said it. It was one of the other Nihilists played by Flea. Dieter or Franz.

They're all named Uli in my book.

Can someone please spare some change to buy this poor guy a couple of players? I for one think it is appalling that he didn't get any transfer help. Stop sending money to save the neglected puppies and make an "Arms of an Angel" commercial for Arne.

Scoursers hired the wrong bald Dutch manager.

Was Isak a guy he pushed for? I always thought that was such an odd move for them. Especially after the splurge for Nunez failed.

100% unnecessary move. Plus you take that 130-140m and get 2 or 3 really solid squad players.

I don't know where the push came from (coach or board) but Liverpool definitely pushed hard for him. Isak benefitted from great winger service at Newcastle and doesn't get the same type of service from wingers at Liverpool. In addition his groin injury seems to be lingering. I for one don't mind one bit of swing him struggle.

Plus Woltemade has been exceptional for us.

Yeah I wasn't necessarily bagging on Isak and calling him a flop… way too early for that. But this whole deal just seemed like such a departure from the way LFC has conducted business in the Klopp era, so it made me wonder if it was a Slot thing.

As an EPL neutral who enjoys watching LFC from time to time (in part because they've got players I enjoyed watching at Leipzig), as the price kept going higher and Isak's attitude towards NUFC kept getting more hostile, I kept hoping that someone would wise-up and cancel the move. Maybe it'll prove to be great, but it seemed like a big risk - not only in terms of whether he produces on the field, but more so in terms of how it would impact the culture in the locker room.

The pressure of the price tag is so incredibly toxic.

60+ MM player gets about 1 year to work out.
80+MM player gets about half a season.
100+MM player gets about 8 games.

With the way the ball bounces, minor injuries there is so much that can quickly sour a big move deal.
