He’s fallen into Nuno’s trap nicely there.

Interesting that fab said bloom is a big fan of cashin.
But how will he fair in a more defensive midfield role? I consider him more of a striker or attacking midfielder so we may see a different side of him today. I hope he does well.
Don't see him having any trouble dealing with Danilo, Anderson and Gibbs-White.
In name only!

Bournemouth were forced by injuries to play people out of position against Forest and it worked okay for them. Let's hope the same applies today.

Especially when you consider he's barely played a minute of senior football in midfield...

I think that front 5 all deserve to start. So I’m comfortable with that.
O’Riley and Gomez as more defensive options as the game progresses makes sense to me.

A fair point and we will find out soon enough but pretty damning for both players that with all those you have listed missing the manager would rather play someone out of position there.
He’ll be fine, going to cover every blade of grass and have all three Forest midfielders in his back pockets ! They won’t know what’s hit um !!
Just turned on TNT Sports and they were busy previewing Man City vs Real Madrid, guess that’s going off until kick off then

Just the two on the bench I suppose...I think he may be somewhat limited with no Baleba, Ayari, Weiffer or Milner available

But Fergie is on bench irrespective of all the talk about leaving on loan or otherwise,

Minteh was meant to pick up Baleba and Ayari on his way to the departure point but he overslept and forgot about them, so they've both been dropped for disciplinary reasons. I heard this from a hot sauce.

Correct. If the starting 2 in midfield had been Hinsh and Gomez/O'Riley most would likely think its maybe not our first choice but our hand has been forced. But Gomez hasn't played any meaningful minutes, and O'Riley is similar to Rutter but has been less effective so far. So really, with what we've got today, Hinsh and Rutter probably are the 2 players he's trusts the most for centre mid.

All about what the players have been told to do tactically. If we bomb forward and leave Hinsh as the only cover for the defence then we're done for. But if those 'attacking' players have been told to sit deeper than normal and pick their moments for counter attacking, then absolutely no issues with that 11.
