Fenerbahçe SK v Nottingham Forest Match Thread Sponsored by ASSA ABLOY: The revolving door specialists

Vital Champions League
Tonight’s clash in the sun-drenched cauldron of the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium promises plenty of drama. it’s the debut of brand-new boss against (one of) his old clubs!

Tonight Vítor Pereira gets his first chance to bring some stability to an otherwise unstable season so far.

Pereira knows Fenerbahçe well from his past spells in Turkey, so this feels less like a debut and more like an awkward family reunion in front of thousands of passionate yellow-and-navy supporters.

Will the new boss bounce be bigger than the Bosphorus Bridge?

Given our current situation and having bigger fish to fry, this game feels less important than it should, a nuisance rather than a priority. Not sure we stood any chance, so I could accept a narrow defeat (to give ourselves a chance in the second leg) and no injuries.
 
Can't see anything other than defeat tonight although I'm quite happy to be wrong and served some humble pie (what a totally shit band they were!). Starting line up and tactics will be interesting though.
 
A truly pathetic effort but what more can we expect from the resident snert?

Would be pretty happy going back to the CG with a draw here
 
I did not realis that Ngolo Kante plays for Fenerbahce. And Guendozi. And Asensio. This is quite an unlucky draw for Forest

3 points in the bag by 60 minutes. We’ll see the team playing like we know they can.

Shackles removed, smiles on faces. Let’s go.
