People need to take a look at that twat Taylor

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Another yellow on doku not given….****

 

[Gabriel]

The last 20 minutes of that game became extremely physical and much of that was down to Taylor allowing things to go unpunished. We need to keep the ball and stop taking it into congested contact areas.

 

[minimalistic]

We need to get out of cruise control for the second half. There has been some sloppy passing towards the end of this half.

 

[platty7]

Playing great . It's to easy. Sloppiness crept in last ten think out of boredom because Forrest are so shit

 

[MCFC1993]

Great opening 25mins, took our foot off of the gas after that. Don't want them to score for us to wake up again.

Not sure how there was only 5minutes added, felt like their free kick on the edge of our box took that long.

Look at getting this killed off by 60mins and we can rest some legs.

 

[hertsblue]

Letting them kick us at will.

Should be on 4 cards, got 2. Us, no carded offences but books 1 plus Pep.
Its what you expect from every single game Taylor officiates with us but its our own fault club wise for never mentioning his performances and bias post match

 

[wolviedinho]

Overall you got to be happy with the performance so far. Excellent goals and some very good link up play. Bit sloppy at times which will happen when you are in control.

Forrest have pace in attack so we need to watch the passing. Nunes lost the ball on a few occasions. Need to work on that.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Fantastic in the opening 20 mins and then we just switched off and became really sloppy.

Foded was excellent. Majority of the rest playing OK without setting the world alight.

Akanji and Gvardiol need to sort their passing out and Nunes needs to stop thinking he has 3 weeks on the ball.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Remember this is a team that went 2 up on 5 mins at the swamp

The rags really must be shit

Yep. Taylor’s allowing quite a bit of mayhem. Hope we don’t cop injuries because he’s letting them get away with a lot.

To be fair, Nunes been fouled a few times and only lost the ball because of a clear shove in the back that Taylor ignored.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I know that this is asking a lot given the standard of commentators in this country...

... but how hard is it to learn that Gvardiol is not pronounced Gwahdiol ffs. I can understand fans making that mistake but these lot are supposed to be paid professionals. They're not even getting the anglicised version of his name right. Commentatory and punditry in the UK is fucking woeful.

 

[paulchapo]

At the game. After a superb start we've gone right off the boil. Some extremely sloppy passing, especially by Nunez. All these fouls and stoppages have totally knocked us out of our rhythm which I'm sure is exactly what Forest wanted. Oh by the way..... Taylor is still a ****.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Good first half for the most part but got a bit sloppy in the last 15 minutes

Actually I think forest have done pretty decent job of limiting the amount of clear chances we get but we have been clinical when we get them, which is the main thing

 

[jimharri]

Yes fully understandable with our injuries

Of course. I'd be expecting subs in the second half.

 

[wattle]

Very boring after those two goals

My god! If that’s not an example of a comment from a ‘new’ city ‘fan’ I don’t know what is haha

 

[TueartsOHK]

Lovely cross by Nunes for the goal. I think he’s settling in well

 

[Cambo]

I wish Phil would get a shot on free kicks.

Reckon he will from the other side of the box. Both frees in that first half were better for right footer.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I should be commenting on our brilliant play, but I am not at all happy with Taylor's 'performance' there.

The disparity in the application of the LOTG between the teams is blatantly obvious.

Akanji getting a booking when the Forest player stood on the ball was a JOKE, and Pep was rightly fuming. There have also been couple of times City players were fouled, Tylor gave fuck all, and allowed Forest to progress.

Taylor is a FUCKING CHEAT!!!
