Match Thread | Nottingham Forest vs. Man City (08/03/25)

[Roachy]

Both teams average so far. Up the intensity Blues.

 

[Metal Biker]

So that leaves me and the tea lady....we're fucked.

Nah, you two are off as well. Get te' fuck!

 

[Gobshiight]

Played well but looking toothless. Desperately need a replacement for Kev in the summer

 

[OrigamiNinja]

A bit meh that. Not a great half of football from either side.

How Bernie is still getting picked is completely beyond me. Offers nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Doku looking the most likely to make something happen but Aina is actually doing well against him.

We have looked relatively solid at the back. Kusanov doing well again.

It’s winnable for either team. We have to step it up a level.

 

[TFC]

We largely controlled that.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Even so far…let’s see if we can figure out how to create more space in the middle..

 

[super_city_si]

Ref letting a lot go for forest. That one on phil was a joke

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Feels like a game where both teams would be content with a draw.

 

[jollylescott]

Sleepy lunchtime game. To be honest neither team looks like scoring.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Desperate this.

Bernardo, Savio and Foden all stinking. Especially Savio, he’s a right mate arse.

 

[Hertzblue]

They seem to have abandoned their usual game plan to kick the fuck out of us . We should be at least one up .

 

[chris85mcfc]

Feel sorry for Haaland very rarely does the ball actually come in from out wide, must be so frustrating to play in this side.

Not a bad half really, but we need to be a bit more direct if we want to get the 3 points.

 

[Paul1970]

Not watching gane but tell me we are playing direct football which has been giving us success in recent games

 

[robbieh]

Forest are well organised defensively

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Surprised at the negativity (maybe I shouldn't be!).

Thought we were ok. Could do a spark from someone but they're exceptionally well organized and comfortable defending and we have created more.

We were never going to go there on a 12.30 in our respective from and blow them away in the first half.

 

[Chak19]

Whenever we play Silva we're so slow and create very little, he's only useful when we need to keep a lead.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

The Premier League is on its arse if we are the 3rd and 4th best teams in it. Absolutely shite football.

Correct .
At one time all the big names played in the Premier.
What top stars are playing in this today.
Haaland.

 

[oldius]

They are very defensive and we need to move it more quickly.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Good half by City. As dominant as you may want away at 3 team in PL. Very little threat from Forest.

We obviously could do better in front, but second half there should be more space. Central area lacks a bit creativity, should be mostly Phil's job this game I believe and he may do better.

All attacking players may do better, Nico, Khusanov, Gvardiol good performances I would say.

We have good bench, Omar, KDB, they could find their chance this game.

 

[WallyA]

Its boring...

But I suspect Pep wants that, he doesnt want the ball pinging around. Forrest basically had no chances, and we had more.

I just want us sharper and quicker in the final 3rd.
