Match Thread | Man City vs Nottingham Forest (23/09/23)

[ws01]

Where's that thread that asked us to rate our summer recruitment

So far it's 10/10

 

[buckshot]

Have City done what we once thought was impossible and brought in 4 players who understand the system right away?

Nunes glides around the pitch. We just keep getting the recruitment spot on.

He has settled in really well, impressed so far

 

[jimharri]

Commentary “ corner comes to nothing”, the most used phrase with us lol

It's our default setting. We should ask if we can have a throw in instead of a corner!

   So yeah, 46 passes leading to Phil Foden's goal. To add to that, Opta have this...
   It is the second longest passing sequence leading to a Premier League goal on record (since 2006-07), after Nacer Chadli’s strike for Spurs v QPR in August 2014 (48 passes).

It does look that way. The new players have also had to adopt quicker than normal due to injuries. Very impressive recruitment. The club is run on a different planet to anyone else at the min bar maybe Madrid.

Nunes is so similiar to Cancelo from a far

 

[malg]

When's our first tough fixture? We've had a very, very good run of fixtures to start this season. Really need a test.

Faces on the Forest fans are a treat as we get near their box. Like the faces on the patient’s family as the surgeon comes out of theatre.

Jack sitting on the bench wondering if he’ll get to play again this season. ;-)

Sounds like a challenge there...
First to 50 passes!
Come on City!!

Foden has destroyed them. Unplayable so far today

I would be surprised if they didn’t to be honest…we are probably the most analysed team, in terms of playing style and tactics, on the planet

 

[dromoreblue]

Cmon City

 

[pennblue]

Everyone playing well, but Phil, Nunes, and Julian standing out to me... all just playing so smoothly and not forcing things while still being so so deadly

Just right. Keep them all on their toes. Long season ahead.

As long as he doesn't turn out to be a whining mard arse.
