Utterly dominant display. Nice to see the real Phil Foden back :)

 

[MichaelBBack]

Sick of the awful refs but fantastic performance from the lads. Phil looks well up for it and nice for Bern to get a goal after a pretty long drought. Whole team playing well.

 

[WallyA]

Should have probably more, but happy the performance is back.

Now itll be about if we can do thar 2nd half, we seem to be a team that plays well in 1 half only.

 

[RayCTID]

As always look out for that suckerpunch

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

His best game for a while. Great to see

You've got to wonder how bad Cancelo was if this is what we are getting from the Portuguese lads.

He’s better on the right.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These are absolutely clueless but that’s the best we’ve played all season imo.

Quick. First to everything. Movement. Invention.

Early one in the 2nd half and these fold like an Arsenal fan.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Has the ref lost his cards?

 

[SidJames]

1-0 no more than we deserve.

Think we have played some nice stuff, only gripe we were playing a pass too many near their box, over complicating it a bit. Then came the Bernado cracker.

I think that cnut should have got a straight red for the stamp on Phil

 

[nellyonthewing]

Total domination without the goals.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Bring Alvarez on and he'll get a bagful.

 

[PhdWave]

Formation is working very well. We are really fluid in possession..

 

[Bluesbrother]

Was getting worried about Foden. Great to see him play with that intensity and skill. Man of the match first half for me

 

[vmsuhail]

Alvarez on for Gundogan please .

No need, he is linking up the play well, just not good with the final pass.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Need to sharpen up our passing around their box but it's been a very one-sided match so far. Let's hope it stays that way. Great to see Bernie back on the score sheet.

 

[heslops barnet]

Need 4 and relax…..

 

[Don Karleone]

You've got to wonder how bad Cancelo was if this is what we are getting from the Portuguese lads.

It did cross my mind. As someone else mentioned, we've been better since he left.

 

[spike549]

Sat in my coach with my city shirt on outside the Forrest ground. Peed off I couldn't get a ticket in to the game! CTID come on a couple more goals please.

 

[KingGeorge]

If we can just punch one more in Forest will be done

 

[teddykgb]

We have absolutely overwhelmed them. Full credit to Pep for making adjustments as we are actually building up again and we aren’t being treated to a trillion passed between Ake and Akanji while everyone is double marked.

The pass we keep missing is the inside ball from the winger to Rodri when teams jump the inside midfielder like KDB or Gundogan. When Rodri steps into that space he has a full run at the back line. But we are playing so much better right now it’s such a relief
