So Sean #Dyche ‘s first game in charge of #Forest ends in a 2-0 home win over Porto.
And this is the team he picked.
A return to a back four, players in their natural positions and a match fit striker up front. Practical & effective, exactly what you’d expect from Dyche. 👍

Goals galore in the #ChampionsLeague this morning, but the most impressive result imho came at the Emirates.
Beating a Diego Simeone side 4-0 takes some doing, and #Gyokeres scoring 2 is significant.
If the Gunners can get him firing they could be unstoppable..

These match stats are damning for #WestHam , pointing out how they not only lost at home to #Brentford this morning, but got totally outplayed too.
Not a good look for new boss Nuno Esposito, as his #Hammers remain in bottom three. Brentford’s win takes them up to 13th..

Club captain Ryan Yates, leading goalscorer Chris Wood & winger Callum Hudson-Odoi all out of starting XI.
Big Ange has some serious work to do to win over the Forest faithful it seems..

So #England become first European team to qualify for #2026FIFAWorldCup with a 5-0 victory in Latvia.
This line up is largely the one that has won the last 3 games - with a 13-0 aggregate score.
Still no Bellingham, Palmer & Foden, but will they break into #Tuchel ‘s starting XI?

A new leader in #PremierLeague this morning, with #Arsenal overtaking #Liverpool after the latter lost at Chelsea.
That’s 3 losses in a row for the Reds & defensively they look shaky, conceding 9 goals in 7 games. Arsenal have conceded just 3.
Defences traditionally win titles.

He played a 3-4-3 according to BBC Sport, compared to the counter attacking 4-2-3-1 of previous manager Nuno.
Forest fans not happy apparently..

The ex Forest boss has been in the building just 2 days, but managed to secure his new club’s first #PremierLeague point this month.
Blowing bubbles?

Comfortable wins for Premier League teams in #EFLCup this morning, and draw for 4th round is now complete.
Still not convinced Prem teams should even be in it imho.
Phil Foden playing an extra game at Huddersfield on a Wed night doesn’t exactly help England win a World Cup, does it!
