Match Thread | Notts Forest vs Man City (28/04/24)

[Keeper!]

Haaland & Kova please pep

Haaland did not start, on the bench for emergency only

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Reminds me a lot of Adam Johnson as a player actually. He always looked exciting but flattered to deceive and was never that good as a starter because his decision-making was never consistent.

I think it's fair to say Adam Johnson's decision making wasn't the best!

 

[Gorbachev]

Doku is not a starter in these title run in games.

Grealish needs to be quicker in his decision making for me.

 

[Gordyola]

What the fuck is this system Pep has taken “inverted” to the extreme
Walker has been poor all season and today he is worse than ever
Bernie poor again seems to have lost his strength
Doku Absolute liability but where is he playing?

Certainly got away with it that half but, it won’t last
We are a better team with Rico but once captain Walker was fit Pep for some reason had to bring him back
What does Bobb have to do to get more time

 

[Tolmie scores]

My Forest mate frustrated that they haven't done this before

Not all opposition look so nervy and at times lost as we do today. Need players to accept that and go into nowt shall pass mode 2nd half. Grab steal a 1 nil. League champions do thiis.. and we are in that champions bracket

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Pep was a total genius v Brighton. Today he’s got it totally wrong. WALKER CAN’T PLAY INVERTED FULL BACK!!!! He’s not clever enough. If he doesn’t change it we could be in trouble here.

Brighton were on the beach, complete with sun umbrellas, lotion and deckchairs. Forest are not.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Well Arsenal were brilliant in the first half earlier and pretty poor in the second. Hopefully we'll do the same sort of thing!

 

[69FACUPfinal]

100% all he has to do is play Kova & leave walker to go down the wing if need be and take doku off

When I saw the team I knew we would have control problems ( n
o Kova) and no creativity ( no Phil - although realise he is poorly). Give some of the young ones a chance- at least they bring a bit of zip.

 

[jimharri]

In fairness Forest have created more chances. We have not been at our best and even worse after scoring.

Not much point, if they're not getting them on target. One on target out of eight efforts isn't a great percentage. We've had two out of seven on target. Not spellbinding, but better.

 

[Metal Biker]

The match thread never (always) disappoints.

Could it start doing so? Pretty please!?
