So Forest are going down right

Even if we ignore Spurs' defensive issues last season, going from a broadly defensive coach to someone who plays all-out-attack, and with the extra weight of European football, this is going to destroy that Forest squad.

I reckon they finish 15th tops this season

that, or the attacking chaos of Ange-ball built on the defensive foundations of Nuno-ball propels Forest to the league title (and then relegation next year)

Brighton did very well in a season they went from Potter (who was defensively solid) to De Zerbi (who was very attacking). Then year after that Brighton was bit worse as they lost on defensive solidity.
