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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Excellent display so far, Bernie and Kova being available for every out ball.

Forest can only play one way and going behind so early has them looking clueless.

Need Savinho to be more careful with the ball at his feet and the second will come.

If they can't have the ball, they can't win, but we need that second.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Him and Grealish need to be doing much more.

They seem to be getting in each other's way. Grealish off Doku on.

 

[manimanc]

How long has he been here now?

9 months i think.

 

[dadnlad]

He’s been really good today though.

better in deeper role

 

[East Level 2]

Not saying I'm old, but I'm sat behind the son of someone I went to away games with in the 70s.

 

[paulsimpson]

That's not my experience of Savinho today. Great attacking energy & willingness to run at Forest.

And his defending

 

[Dax777]

Elanga coming on for Forest

 

[TFC]

Genuinely shocked at the negativity. I thought we were proper Manchester City that first half.

You’re in the match day thread blue, logic and reason have no place here.

He will do that around 70 mins , and it's also when Doku is effective

Savinho is the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz.

Does he look kike his dad did in the 70s?

 

[burning blue soul]

Sadly, there always is

That's very negative of you...

 

[I'm Blue]

He’s been really good today though.

He’s been everywhere.
His work from deep today has been critical.
Helping the defence and showing for Ortega.

 

[N1985]

Adverts are crazy.

Most of the times it's GAMBLE GAMBLE GAMBLE

Then they slip a gamble aware ad into the middle of the gambling frenzy.

Absolutely brutal if you have a problem with it. They've knocked fags and booze ads/sponsorship on the head. They need to do the same with the bookies. Fucking vultures.

 

[paulchapo]

Here comes the pace.....

 

[JULES]

no complaints from me, great 1st half performance all round

 

[mosssideblue]

That's very honest of you...

So far, only threat has been messing about a little too much at times with Ortega.

Other than that, a masterclass in control.

 

[Mancity1980]

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

We have dominated the stats and won, a lot.

Rag coming on...
