Match Thread | Man City vs. Notts Forest (04/12/24)

Best half attacking wise for ages, Kev makes a difference. Still ropey at the back and silly mistakes, need 2 more

Who is the **** on co commentary?

Michael Brown? He literally does the club commentary with Alistair Mann most weeks. The guy is pretty much as pro-City as you’ll get. If he’s a **** then we’re all cunts!

 

[Macca77macca]

They are all looking a bit sharper. Good stuff.

 

[Gabriel]

Midfielders that can hold on to the ball make the difference. Played some nice stuff but a few moments of sloppiness have put the defence under unnecessary pressure, and if we ship a goal, it’ll be a stiff test.

 

[Bluemoon115]

That was so much better. Not perfect but so much better.

We actually look a threat when we go forward.

KDB at 50% is better than most and certainly better than anything we have.

Grealish has been really good in the middle.

Gundo and Bernie are actually having good games. Gimme a hallelujah.

Defence is still a worry but it’s not going to change overnight.

We have been talking about new midfielders…1st Jan, get an offer in for MGW. He can play that lad.

When they attacked, we looked like we were enjoying our defending.

Tackles, blocks, headers. All cheered and supported by each other.

Obviously it'd be ideal to cut those moments out, but still more promising.

Good 1st half, we look much more dangerous upfront but still causing ourselves some issues at the back. Jack doing just fine in midfield, not spectacular but keeps things ticking over. KDB been superb

 

[jimharri]

More like it. But you just wonder if Forest get the next goal, how will the nerves be among the team?

 

[TonyM]

I didn't see a lot of the half but what I did see was generally better than our worst but still riddled with poor play. Loose passes from KDB and Bernardo, shabby defending from Akanji, wasteful play from Bernardo and Doku.

Still, good to see Grealish in midfield making some lovely passes.

 

[city warrior]

Well played. The chances they have created have come from silly mistakes (KDB and Gvardiol losing easy balls). But that's expected because the confidence of the team is low right now. Once we start winning, those mistakes will be rare. Doku sometimes frustrating, but also with a great assist to KDB second goal. Best game from Bernardo in a while. Much more solid in the back with Dias and Ortega playing really well.

 

[PragueBlue]

Better first half but KDB and Gundogan have to be a little more careful on the ball, especially in our half. No need to gift them possession and chances.

A bit more solid defensively with the 4 CB set up and I hope we stick with that for a while at least.

Cut out the sloppy passes and keep pressing forward and we should win this.
