Match Thread | Notts Forest vs. Manchester City (27/12/25)

[SWPISHOME]

Crying out for a winger to stretch Dyche utterly shit and predictable tactics. Absolutely predictable anti football from the **** .

So many people on here giving out about Dyche and his tactics, It's up to us to break them down, have some creativity and also have fight.

We don't have any of that today, we're losing every ball and every second ball.

We need to get our act together and not let this game get away from us.

 

[Blu1]

He just doesn't do it for me.

Me neither but he will run at their defence. Reijnders is just hiding & Nunes is just passing backwards. We have not other option sadly. Savio needs to come on

 

[gingerprince]

Surprised I.Jesus didn't fall to the ground walking back to dressing room at halftime

 

[phargrave]

Got a 1-0 late win all over this

We need a small speedy players like doku to break them down

Or Savinho

 

[christened at st marks]

No creativity at all, Foden may as well be taken off he, is being destroyed by Pep trying to make him something he will never be.
No width only a pass backs from the fullbacks we are playing shite and it feels like the system.

 

[Eaststander1]

Typical early KO performance.
Everyone half asleep. Seen it a million times.
Scrape the 3 points and move on.

We dont look like scraping anything right now ...

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Reijnders with another invisible man display.

Foden hiding
Bernie doing his usual running about the place with no end product.

Gvardiol getting bullied by a league 1 standard player.

Haaland feeding off absolute scraps.

Need to change something. Wether its personnel or tactics. The game is just passing us by at the minute.

 

[borassic]

Scrappy this so far

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Surprised I.Jesus didn't fall to the ground walking back to dressing room at halftime

As the TNT crew wank him off

Greatest manager of all time according to the comms

 

[super_city_si]

Forest are better than I expected them to be

They’re up for a fight. We’re better than them so they need to use intensity and they are doing it well. Leaving absolutely no space but we’re making it easy for them by having no width. They only have to cover the middle.

 

[heslops barnet]

Pretty poor that. Pep needs to change tactics to have any chance here. Dyche has sussed him so far today. Playing with 10 men (Haaland pointless so far) and just waiting for the ball to drop to our forward isn’t working today. They are first to most balls as well. Feels like one of those 0-1 away days

I’ll take that

 

[axlgod]

That ‘chance’ that forest had when the ball was whipped in, will be be on constant rotation on tnt until the end of time.
They’ve won the nearly scored cup.

 

[Tourist since 1971]

They haven’t scored. Crowd been kept relatively quiet for them.
Not anything we haven’t seen before. Playing a team of bus parking athletes.
If we manage their breakaways we should be fine.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

What sort of shape is Rodri in? Could help us win the midfield battle, they have strong, physical players in there. Rodri and Nico together would dominate.

To me it is all very mysterious about Rodri. Think no chance of him playing unfortunately.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

These half time interviews are so stupid

 

[wolviedinho]

City have to deal with game raising assholes weekly. This is nothing new and the ref is playing his role nicely.

Step it up and take the points.

Could be doing with a bit of speed in attack. Where is this new player?sitting at home somewhere with his feet up instead of bombing down the right wing -:)

 

[kaz7]

What the fuck is this shit interviewing a player at half time ?

 

[Blu1]

Dias get in the dressing room! wtf are we giving interviews for now. Fook off

 

[SWPISHOME]

I never thought I'd be agreeing with anyone saying bring Sav on!! But you are 100% about Reindees and Sav will run at them/ provide width, and hopefully not lose the ball too much. Honestly today he will be an upgrade on reindeers.

My granny would be an upgrade on Reijnders, He's 6ft plus and afraid of his life to put a challenge in, he's a complete and utter fanny.
