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

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

Really need to bin these early kick offs. No one likes them.

Take it there's still no way to mute the commentary on TNT and just have the ambient sound from the ground? They seem to be happy to talk about anything other than what is happening in the game, and when they do it's hardly balanced. Knee high challenge on foden and 'the forest player could have hurt himself making that challenge'... Then it's off to the drug test dodger for some mind-blowing insights. Ffs, barrel scraping at its finest.

Bit more conviction and we'll win this. Need Nico to carry the ball a little more and open things up, and Savinho and Doku more aggressive and on the front foot.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

need to bring on KDB, the amount of possession we had , he would be lethal

 

[ufo]

He's just big boned.

pics ?

After some of the performances over the last 4/5 months, we’ve been ok. Not spectacular but controlled most of that barring a few sloppy moments!

Tuff place to go, they’ve done very little to this point! Lets hope that continues…

 

[johnny crossan]

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

could be connected to this uninspiring and toothless first half combined with us blowing our PL & CL chances with half the season left.

Your commentary on TNT today at the City ground comes courtesy of the Nottingham Forest supporters club.

City matchday live has Mark Crossley in the studio. Fuck is the matter with them.

 

[M Gaudino]

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

it should be Foden playing in the midfield and dominating the ball but he often drifts pit of games after someone gives him a whack

 

[Brewster's millions]

Bernado and Foden just aren’t doing enough, particularly the former. He’s done nothing all season though and he still gets into the side.

At least if Gundogan or Kovacic were playing we’d have another body in midfield and a bit more control.

Khusanov doing great again and he’s improved our defence no end.

 

[Mr HJ]

Need a lot more from Savinho - I don't think Erling has had one decent pass from either wide man. Defending ok but we really need to play faster - the common issue this year is we are a little dull and slow.

 

[100 pints]

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

Ferdinand quiet on that,but got an opinion on everything else ,tnt going off after this game.

 

[youngbob]

Marmoush for Bernardo imo.

Just never hear his name mentioned in our attacks anymore.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

need to bring on KDB, the amount of possession we had , he would be lethal

He would have been at one time.
Not so sure now

 

[adr2.8i]

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

Nope...but there's just no space in and behind them. Forest well organised fairplay. We're dominating the ball but not creating much in the way of clear cut chances....neither are forest really.

I think I've heard Michael Owen make more insightful comments than Rio Ferdinand and that's saying something.

 

[christened at st marks]

We have no creativity whatsoever, 2 wingers achieving nothing their RB has Doku on toast, 1 has to come off for Marmoosh

Foden played a peach into Haaland before but Haaland kicked it against his standing leg for some reason.

At least if Gundogan or Kovacic were playing we’d have another body in midfield and a bit more control.

Khusanov doing great again and he’s improved our defence no end.

we had more than enough control, just lacking a killer pass.

 

[Chippy_boy]

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.

 

[spiny]

City should be ahead.
Nico and Khus make a big difference.
Bernie and Phil much better.
Not impressed by the officials.
