Match Thread | Nottingham Forest vs. Man City (27/04/25) FA Cup

[BigJoe#1]

Great comments in here but lets not forget we are playing a decent side who have done very well this season.... just stay with it Blues.

 

[snorky]

They are just shit ( specifically Matterface and Dixon) not sure its biased.

Lee Dixon is the most miserable bloke on the planet.

If you can't hear the anti us biase mate I think I am on a different channel to you.

 

[Beanhead]

Savinho just showed why he's on instead of Doku at the end there, brilliant defending.

Yeah he did well. He does usually put a shift in and doesn’t shirk his defensive responsibilities.

 

[kaz7]

And?

I think he has blown his cover ,fucking dipper

 

[paulchapo]

Marmoush and Savinho look like they'll never score. Otherwise a decent half for us but they'll have a real.go.im.the second half and fetch pace on.

 

[CPPSC]

Couldn’t give less of a fuck.

Weird thing to post on here…

Weird username if you ask me- not you Eric the one celebrating an injury to one of ours

 

[Blueknows]

Lol

Some blues said the same about rodri , needs time does sav

 

[Blue warrior]

Need to get that second ad kill off any Forrest hope!

 

[Damanino]

you just know first Forest attempt in 64th minute will be a goal...

hope we will be 2-0 up by then. We need a bit more upfront from Marmoush and Savinho.
Savinho attempts come to nothing as blocked shots.

Grealish could be also bit more dangerous towards goal in passing and even some shots when he gets this central role he needs to look for how to create end product.

very delighted with Kova, Bernardo, OReilly, Lewis, their movement is great also their speed and releasing the ball

 

[eastmanc]

Need a second to really knock the shit out of them.

 

[mosssideblue]

Forest putting in an awful lot of effort for little reward. They will be blowing out of their arses after 75. Doku to then deliver the final blows

 

[Brewster's millions]

We need to buy a proper, top class winger this summer. And get more people into the box when we do cross it.

At the moment we’re making 30 intricate passes to create an overload on the wings, and there’s zero goal threat when it comes in.

 

[Bluearmy]

He's only a kid.
In a different country.
Trying to settle.

Give the lad some slack.

He’s killing us. Maybe one day he’ll be good enough, but he’s nowhere near ready to be starting games for a club looking to win things.

So many attacks have stopped dead at Savinho’s feet today, its unreal. Doku on please!!

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Could get his body facing their goal a bit quicker when he gets the ball in space but he's neat and tidy and giving us a lot of control.

The only thing I would say to Jack is be more selfish and take on the opponents before smashing the ball into the net.

 

[kippaxchris]

Fantastic first 30 minutes then decent from there on. Kovacic has been superb.

 

[Gabriel]

The platform is extremely solid but the attacking 4, save for Lewis’ goal, just aren’t working as a unit.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Great half that, controlled the ball and was aggressive winning the ball back. Do hope we're more positive in the final third though. Grealish or Marmoush not on the ball enough.

 

[paulchapo]

Indeed, but it is strange. Are trying not to embarrass Forest? Have they sacked their statisticians?

No idea but I don't like them. We've dominated all the stats in the past and lost.

 

[bert38]

Once the team news had settled it was likely pep would keep the same tactics-a box middle and inside forwards with high full backs-it’s not too exciting but does help stop teams running through us.

Bernie and Kova showing their wealth of experience.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Only 1-0 ffs..
