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

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.

Yeah, would rather it be Doku obviously, however under the current circumstances, I agree. And I'm far from Savinho's biggest fan.

Thanks to a virgin media fault, crashing all services, I can't watch anything. Was able to see the first 25 mins,

Sounds like I am not missing much

Pretty piss poor considering we’ve got the chance to go top.
Hopefully Peps ripped into them at halftime.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

6-2 against us on the foul count. They've bought at least 4 of those. Anti-football cunts.

 

[Berti No Show]

Anderson is superb. Got to put the money down for him this summer.

 

[citymad]

Some of you on here don’t know how football works. Decent possession but finding it hard to break down a very hardworking forest team. Be a totally different game if Doku and potentially Semenyo. Sadly Sav isn’t the answer, he’s too soft. Hopefully we can Ibag a winner.

A truly shocking first half performance and I don`t remember Foden giving the ball away so much. The number of times we could have crossed the ball into the area and we fuck about. Sorry but Haaland needs to find space.

Shocking ? I thought we've done ok against a highly motivated and well organised Forest team backed by some favourable reffing.

He’s been good out of possession. He’s been as poor as our players have been with the ball at his feet.

I would say we desperately need some width.

But I don't think this is the game for Sav. And they'll just kick the shit out of him and go down like they've been shot as soon as someone breathes on them. So I don't know what to do.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Foden and Reijnders should come on.

 

[samuelyeboah]

no real candidate for MOTM here so far

 

[Brewster's millions]

If Rodri is anywhere near fit then he needs to come on second half and start winning some of these battles in midfield.

Savinho also needs to come on and find some space out wide

At the moment we aren’t able to find either of our full backs up the pitch, but we’re still leaving ourselves short at the back by pushing them up so often.

If we just play a flat back four, and put Savinho on out wide, we’d be a lot better.

Too sensible :-)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Lose a lot of defensive cover with that swap. Gamble is suppose.

Mentality wise we go for it pal, it’s what will make the difference this year as Arsenal would rather do just that, I’m all for kamikaze city than playing to this ginger cunts tune

 

[Aba452]

Only listening on the app, the Forrest fans been reffing the game. Dyke's patented anti football has stopped us getting any rhythm. Was there anything in the Cherki pen shout?

Anyway onwards and upwards against these clogging divers!

So many shitting on Rejinders, he has done no worse than Phil Foden today. No need for hate.

Agree over this game but, its the frustration over the season to date.
Adds very little.

Virgin have done you a favour so far.

 

[oldius]

Competitive match against a physical and disciplined outfit. Move the ball a little quicker and we will win the game. Before kick-off, I selected Savinho instead of Reijnders and I haven't seen anything to change my opinion that we need a little more width. Still, that can come when the physical effort of the Forest players dips a little.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Be lucky to get a point here.......
