Did he even play for the 21s?

Unused substitue. 

Slightly concerning, but we need to trust Gerrard that he's managing our players so he can get the most out of them. 

Honestly not too bothered about it, I'd honestly rather do it in Europe than a domestic League game.

No Katic in defense and Halliday in midfield, no potential for disaster then.   If Worrall is better than Katic then why has he been sent out on loan else Forest must have some top defenders???

Resting Katic here is honestly mental stuff.

Did he say he was resting him? I didn't hear his reasoning, but I'd bet on it being tactical in sime way rather than resting him. He's just had a two week rest.

Can’t be arsed reading through all the pages but what’s the reason for dropping big Niko? Feel a bit gutted I love the big guy. Maybe just a rest? Surely not injured if he’s on the bench. 

He's a bit jaded.

Gerrard saying Katic is Jaded.

 

Tbf, i thought he looked heavy legged first half on Saturday.

He's just slow. In my opinion he wouldn't suit a game against a Spanish team who could potentially move the all quickly. I'm assuming Worrell is more mobile, we'll soon see.

Exactly this. I'm sure it's not a decision he would have taken lightly

We're gonna sit deep. His pace wouldn't have been a massive issue.

Grim.

Septic and Hartson making money off the Gers is sickening?

[Clemdog 39,389]

Superb from the away support 

C'mon the Famous!

[TheKingObv 10,646]

What an abysmal attendance 

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

Whatever the reasons for resting Katic for a game like this, the upside should be that Joe Worrall plays the game of his life.    I hope so anyway.

Be good for Lafferty to bag a goal or two as well.  Here's hoping.
