Next 45 mins will tell us where the title goes.

Wrong. Walker pissing around in centre mid is killing that side

Exactly

 

[Mr HJ]

Great goal just need to sort out the defensive side of our game on the right side and we will be ok. Walker looks great going forward but man oh man he seems reluctant to actually defend these days.

I pinged this game as a huge banana skin basically as it came so soon after our trip to the south coast. Hope Pep doesnt wait for them to equalise before making changes. Nunes and Haaland if fit.

The reality is though that Thursday was a walk in the park. It couldn’t have been much easier. We need to be much better than this.

Pep has some sorting out to do. Expect a lot from us. We are sloppy and half-heartened.
Could and maybe should have 2-1 to Forest.

Normally a peptalk does a lot and I expect no changes. Just a lot sharper every single one of them.

Subs coming on depending how things have fared after 60 l6( min.

Pep is baffling today

Cu on the other side

Credit to Forest properly troubling us and fighting for their lives.Get through this blue boys.

Only good thing those scabs have done in their existance

 

[Keeper!]

Does Bernardo know we are playing in white, ffs he has given the ball away so much

 

[ninjamonkey]

Awful. Very fortunate to be ahead but we won't be for much longer if we don't sort it out.

Walker has been abysmal once again, captaincy massages his ego too much, walker is at his worse when he's got a big head, do what you're good at and keep everything else simple, you're not kdb stop trying inch perfect passes and keep the ball moving.

Grealish offered nothing in attack which isn't unexpected at this point but he's not tracking the wing back either.

Doku on the right doesn't work because we heavily skew our attack down the left and don't play down the right often enough and even when we do, we've got walker taking 45 seconds to play a simple pass and denying him the chance to attack his marker.

Corners look like a goal waiting to happen, there's 2 players on top of ederson everytime and they're sticking the ball right on him, he needs a shield infront otherwise one of them will result in a goal.

Switch Bernardo to the right, Doku left and get kovacic on for grealish if we haven't drastically improved in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

This is screaming Forest away last season right now. Sort it city!

We have a fucking huge Foden shaped hole in the team today, this was always going to be a tough one and at this stage of the season it is all about results.

Make you really see how good he is now
