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

[balotelli's back pocket]

Nunes' passing is absolutely criminal for a so-called midfielder.

 

[Micky Blue]

I’m looking at the bench and thinking it’s only Marmoush which would come on and make us more potent upfront.

I’m not sure KDB can do a full half anymore and I don’t think there’s any point Grealish being in the bench as Pep won’t play him anyway.

 

[Coljj]

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

Just let TNT show a Saturday 3pm KO.

 

[Blue Abroad]

Thought we controlled the game without necessarily playing particularly well, which I’ll take away from home to a team above us in the table. Pep will make some adjustments and I have no doubt we will have more cutting thrust in the second half.

That said, based on our shooting from the first 45, I reckon NASA will be in contact with the club tomorrow to see if we can replace SpaceX for cargo launches!

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

I've been watching on optus.
Anythings better than tnt.
I turn it off at half time though.

Remember Savinho being superb on the left? beating his man and whipping excellent crosses into Haaland? Seems Pep doesn't as he's not played there anymore.

 

[citymad]

Good half by the lads. It’s been cagey and the chances have been few and far between. Doku’s been on fire and making some good choices with his passing. Just hope we don’t fade in the 2nd half. Love having Bernardo floating about clearing up.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Marmoush for Bernardo imo.

Just never hear his name mentioned in our attacks anymore.

Our attacks?

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

One of our greatest ever players but I don’t see what Bernardo offers anymore sadly.

 

[BossHog]

Forest sacrificing their game to contain us.

 

[Norbert D]

When Gvardiol gets the ball back hit it first time ffs

 

[tweety]

Pathetic from Forest, 3rd in the league and park the bus.

 

[jimharri]

Match thread channeling it's inner match thread, I see!

;-)

 

[deano ou812]

Why is it it’s City’s fault if a game is boring,commentators and pundits do realise that there is another team on the pitch and also defending in numbers..

 

[super_city_si]

I think part of the reason for that half and not playinf quickly is because this season we have been gassed out ariund 70 mins in.

These guys should have the legs to up the speed in 2nd half if need be.

I think it’s the best way for us right now. Pep will probably be happy with that. They haven’t had a sniff and weve been in control. If this continues, we’re more likely to win than lose.

 

[Sky Blue]

Forest park the bus merchants. We are doing alright.

your missing the Oz ads - very entertaining

 

[PragueBlue]

We played ok with and without the ball I thought. Dominated and created a few chances/half chances but our shooting has been poor apart from when we hit the post. They have set up quite defensively and are obviously hoping to catch us on the break but we restricted them to very little.

We don't look very creative through the middle and neither Doku or Savinho are doing much of note. Nothing much for Haaland to feed off.

I feel we need to be a little quicker and sharper in the final third and hopefully better chances will come. Do that and we should win this.

pics ?

The guy could do a convincing jabba the hutt impression

You'll not last long on Matchday threads with that attitude mate .... ;-)
