Nottingham Forest (N) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[its grim up north]

Grealish against the rags
Today's incident was a pen all day long imo

The wrongdoing was reduced somewhat by Josko heading in from the resultant corner.

 

[NorCalBlue]

I don’t mind xG as long as people use it in the right way.

Agree! Obviously it's actual goals that decide matches, but unless your post-match analysis is simply: "we won", 'we lost', or 'it was a draw', then it's a very useful metric.

 

[Bowyers Sausages]

Found it odd they were calling themselves cheats…

How many points did they have taken away?

How many has city?

Truth don’t matter these days.

And wasn’t it said of the legend that is Clough, that he “…liked a bung!”

 

[Trojan1962]

We had 3 world class players missing today, Rod, Haaland and Stones and they still couldn’t get close to us.

 

[Karl8]

Gotta give credit to our bald genius Pep. When I saw the team, I wondered what he was doing,.. But thought our side nullified Forest, particularly first half, and ultimately we got the job done. Fantastic work blue boys, win the FA cup and we’ll win more than the scousers this season come on !!

 

[Dodge]

Can't beat a bit of Berting.

Living in Leicester occasionally has its benefits.

Up the fucking Blues.

 

[Bowyers Sausages]

Forest and woodwork has a sort of delicious irony!

 

[wolviedinho]

City in yet another final is the only football news story worth reading about today.

I won’t recognise murderers, ffp cheats, hackers, spitters, glassing kids,as worthy winners.

I don’t care if it’s petty or not.

Next year is our year la.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Thought we were brilliant today. Got the goal and forced them to change. Got the second and kept them at bay.

Game over. Finals here we come.

And KDB

Great win brilliant to reach another final and we mustn't fuck it up like we did last year. Kovacic brilliant, the standout player by a country mile today a few others also decent a few others not really at it.
Pep seems to be picking very cautious teams at present not very attack minded at all but it's working. I want our swagger back but we might have to wait until next season for that

 

[Salford in the City]

Strange how a ‘perfectly executed shot’ hit the bar lol

Yeah, and all this 'it deserved a goal' nonsense!

 

[N1985]

Kovacic has been a brilliant signing. Absolutely love the guy

 

[Blue Mist]

It seems every post match thread has to mention how good Nico O'Reilly is.
So I'm doing it again.

The lad is immense. He's a midfielder ffs playing out of position.
Love the lad.

Love the lad.

His double pirouette would have been the best goal at Wembley since, er, Ricky fuckin’ Villa in 1981!

 

[Gordyola]

Anyone know what was up with Pep? He didn't really seem like a chap that had just one a FA cup semi final. I thought he was very out of sorts.

It’s a semi final win no trophy for it Did you see his reaction against Villa in mid week again no trophy but a very significant win There is nothing up with Pep

 

[Tolmie scores]

He use to have a soft spot for us.

Not sure what's happened.

He was born in Levenshulme and grew up as a blue

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Lucky Forest, it should've been six had not their goalie denied us at least four times. Even they fluked to hit the woodwork a couple of times and another after a typical Gvardiol-Ortega Wembley brainfart.

The Blues were UN-PLAY-A-BLE, the ESPNLA argie commentators were waxing lyrical about volvió el City de siempre [*] with our possesion, control and goal opportunities, and said that Forest hit the posts out of nothing but el City largely deserved the win.

So, take it! take it! take it! you flappers and doom merchants.

Pep was fine after the match. Went round the City support applauding and giving us the "We're not worthy gesture".

He knows nothing has been won yet and we still have work to do to get into UCL.

They should sign Timber
