Forest currently 1-0 up at Liverpool, shows exactly why I don't agree with stuff like this... We're better than Forest, we can get something at Anfield. The idea of, essentially, throwing in the towel before the game even starts and intentionally getting our players banned because "we probably won't win anyway" doesn't sit right with me, at all.
It's not that for me. Chances are we'll finish mid-table without a cup ... ... looking back at the season, with derby wins would make it a success imo. Would you really want to see Xhaka out, for the derby, because we went for it, at Liverpool, and lost.
Just thinking we will have a fair few lads going off to the AFCON literally with free hits going into the Derby. Now I don't mean I want these lads flying in 2 footed and leaving us with 8 men after 10 mins but could certainly see a few wipeouts in injury time particularly if we are 1 up or level and someone is threatening a break away.
