    We asked you what transfer business Nottingham Forest still need to complete before Tuesday's 23:00 BST deadline.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Gary: Forest need a central midfielder, preferably Lamine Camara as the top priority. Still worried we'll lack creativity so, as much as I'd like the attacking players who arrived last year to be given a chance, I think a move for Harvey Elliott to play 10 alongside Morgan Gibbs-White would be good to help break down low blocks. Goals still worry me, as does goalkeeper back-up.

    Scott: We need another central midfielder. Let Dominguez, Jesus and Ndoye go.

    Matt: Wood should be sold with one year left and no likelihood of an extension. He's slowed considerably and hasn't adjusted his game to compensate. Sell Sels. Data surely shows his distribution just creates more pressure and his positioning at set-pieces is poor. We need a central midfielder. If Wood is sold, we must buy another striker - Suarez from Sporting to play alongside or just just behind Delap.

    Kris: We still lack power and drive in the engine room and, without Gibbs-White, we have no creativity. I'd argue we need another striker on top of Delap. Wood is looking his age now and both Kali and Jesus won't get enough goals for us.

    Peter: You can never know for certain if Forest has learnt from its past mistakes but this transfer window seems to have been well thought out and planned. It helped that we sold Anderson early on so knew what funds we had. I think that we are stronger all round but it'll take time before Glasner gets us to click.

    Stephen: Fingers crossed Alvarez gets his move to Barcelona so we can hopefully get the Suarez deal done. Need a couple of wide players too to cover players being sold or loaned out.

  2. 'This is a winning club' - Munoz on joining Forestpublished at 13:35 BST

    Daniel Munoz has said the mentality and expectation at Nottingham Forest makes the club special as his transfer from Crystal Palace was confirmed.

    The Colombia defender, who has signed a three-year deal at the City Ground, will link back up with former Eagles boss Oliver Glasner.

    Munoz, 30, said: "I'm really excited because I can see so much talent. Forest are a team with great players, great qualities and great skills on the pitch.

    "I can't wait to get out there so I can help my new team-mates and I think we're going to do great things.

    "The first thing is that this is a winning club. I think that when this is the expectation, the mentality - both for the management and the technical team, and for the players - it makes it special.

    "It is a club that's fought hard in recent years, it has competed hard, got to the semi-finals of the Europa League - and I think there are even greater objectives for the future. This is what I like about Forest and that's why I decided to come here."

    With Munoz's signing confirmed, what business - both incomings and outgoings - do you think Forest still need to do before Tuesday's transfer deadline?

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Liverpool fans

    Nigel: We see the lack of quality passing in the last third of the pitch in every game. It's too late now, of course, but Liverpool should have offered Trent the world and a statue next to Shankly if he had stayed. We miss him more than any other player who has left.

    Adnan: They do not look and feel like a Liverpool side. Previous generations oozed Liverpool blood - remember, guys, who you play for and where you play. Jurgen knew and hence his players knew.

    Ben: An improvement on the two home games against Forest under Slot, but a lot of work to do. Tsimikas should be the first-choice left-back as Kerkez is still not up to the job, and another right-back is needed so we stop playing Szobozslai there.

    Marilyn: Not a foot-on-the-gas start at Anfield, but I saw little flashes of possibilities! The new guys are full of running, but passes going astray. Isak not positive enough. Rio too easily tackled still. Hope the jigsaw comes together with Barcola's arrival. Going to be a nervy few weeks!

    Nottingham Forest fans

    Chris: After the abysmal performances against Leeds I was not looking forward to this game. All I wanted was a good performance and boy did we get it. Onwards and upwards.

    Paul: Encouraging signs (genuinely) for Forest. Team looks to be gelling well, some depth and options on the bench too. Needed that point, and shame not to win. Delap looked lively and like he can make a difference. All players played well. On to the next game and maybe a final dabble in the window.

    James: Much better performance than previously shown. McAtee really stepped up but I thought Schlager was the unsung hero he was so good on his Premier League debut.

    Martin: The exact opposite of our very poor performance on Tuesday against Leeds. I thought we kept the ball well and defended solidly. Attacked with pace and all players had a great game.

  4. Forest 'were the better team' - Hodgepublished at 07:37 BST

    Media caption,

    Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge says Oliver Glasner's side "were the better team" against Liverpool and should have won the game.

    Forest fans were dreaming of a third consecutive league win at Anfield when Morgan Gibbs-White gave them the lead from the spot, but Liverpool rallied again and Victor Munoz's late strike ensured the points were shared.

    "We should have won [the match] with the chances we created, especially in the first half," said Hodge on BBC Radio Nottingham. "We were against a really lacklustre Liverpool team, who at times looked weak at the back and unsure of themselves.

    "Forest have gone to Anfield and scored two goals and overall, were the better team. They had better team cohesion."

  5. Liverpool 2-2 Nottingham Forest: How the players ratedpublished at 20:48 BST 29 August

    Nottingham Forest starting XI:

    Matz Sels: Was commanding and it was his punt up the field that led to Ndoye's goal. Made a great save to deny Wirtz but was well-beaten by Gakpo's cross for Isak's leveller and had no chance with Munoz's strike. 5

    Jair Cunha: Strong performance but will know he should have done better for Isak's goal. 6

    Nikola Milenkovic: Part of a Forest backline that initially made it incredibly hard for Liverpool to break them down. 6

    Murillo: Unafraid to drive with the ball and put in a solid shift but was well beaten by Munoz for the goal that made it 2-2. Still crucial that Forest keep him. 6

    Ola Aina: Relentless all game. Was very involved, as always, and constantly asked questions of Liverpool. Nearly created a goal for Forest. 7

    James McAtee: Getting his chance after Elliot Anderson's move to Manchester City and was very tidy on the ball in an impressive performance. Made some really good deliveries in the first half and battled well all afternoon. 7

    Xaver Schlager: The summer signing came in for the injured Ibrahim Sangare and bar getting nutmegged early on by Dominik Szoboszlai, this was a good display from the Austrian midfielder. 7

    Neco Williams: Like Aina, was full of energy down the opposite flank. Made a superb tackle early on to deny Gakpo. Was once on the Anfield books, and it was interesting to hear Steven Gerrard say pre-match that Liverpool should have kept him. Had a few defensive lapses but ultimately won the penalty that put Forest ahead for the second time. 7

    Dan Ndoye: A wonderful finish past Alisson in the first half for what was his first Premier League goal in 377 days. 7

    Morgan Gibbs-White: Quality on the ball and got the assist for Ndoye before dispatching his second-half penalty in style. Loves Anfield and how has five goal involvements (three goals, two assists) there. No Englishman has netted more Premier League goals overall this calendar year than his 13. 8

    Igor Jesus: Had a great chance early on and his hold up play was brilliant for Ndoye's goal. Caused a nuisance for Liverpool's centre-backs all afternoon. 7

    Nottingham Forest substitutes:

    Subs:

    Delap (on 66, Ndoye): 6

    Netz (on 86, Aina): 5

    Hudson-Odoi (on 90+2, McAtee): 5

    Dominguez (on 90+2, Igor Jesus): 5
