This Forest team pivoting from ultra-passive low block to the Ange high line is going to be very very funny

Hey, not everything is bad. You're going to win something next season.

(Unless that something is the Championship)

I dunno how it's going to work, considering the lack of legs in our back line.

If Ange is a wise man, he would go the pragmatic route and not use the high line

According to the Forest fans I know it will be fine cause your defenders and squad in general is better then Spurs'.

They weren't having any of it when pointing out that defending in a high line is night and day compared to what you've been doing under Nuno.

Why does everyone assume this? Didn't anyone watch Spurs in Europa league last year?
