    Reds did well to salvage a draw after going a man down early and levelling twice. Long way to go.

    Good to see a new face in Forest up there too.

      They've done very well. I wonder what they're doing differently to the last couple of years?

        Similar styles, Slot tends to be more controlled and dynamic. Tempo. Whereas Klopp was all about keeping it full throttle.

          I think Nuno is a pretty good coach and they've recruited really well over the last few seasons. Really stable club atm.

            You'll be wanting us to beat Man City as well on the proviso you beat Brentford. Brentford has been really good at home but no good away from home. A bit like the Gold Coast in the AFL in 2024. I give us a big chance against Man City who are in freecall at the moment. Cmon United!!

              Big win for us, left a few goals out there but all that matters is the 3 points.

                I like Mbeumo for Brentford. Newcastle are dying for a RW so I would love to have a crack at him.

                    Watched the 25 minute mini match this morning on Optus Sport. Great win for us in the end. Man City are crumbling. Big mistake for them defensively leading to the penalty which Bruno Fernandes took to equalise and then a great goal from Amad Diallo to get the win.

                    Key now will be consistency. I have seen this before when we beat a big team and then lose the next week so need to change that going forward.

                      This season can get bent! The year city decide to have a nightmare, we pull out rubbish performances and become complacent. Why couldn't they have done this last year or even the year before.

                      Still a long way to go, i think the XMAS fixtures is a good indication on who's going to compete.

                        You guys were very unlucky last season and the last as well. You didn't do too much wrong. Liverpool know this in that season they got 97 points to fall short in the title race by 1 point with Man City getting 98 points crazy! In another season 97 points wins you the title.

                          Arsenal has turned into a one trick pony with stopping Saka stopping all your goals. Artetas football is hard to watch.

                            Have to agree with you. We play with caution hoping to find the cleanest goal. Futbol is chaotic, sometimes the unpredicactble is more damaging than the perfect goal. We dominate most other areas but just lack that final finishing touch.

                              Yeah that is crazy stuff, super difficult when you have to be so flawless and then some.

                                We had some great matches with you guys in the late 90 and 2000s. We were at that time both on top of the English game and in the title race regularly.
