A truly shocking first half performance and I don`t remember Foden giving the ball away so much. The number of times we could have crossed the ball into the area and we fuck about. Sorry but Haaland needs to find space.

You’re right about Haaland. He’s doing absolutely nothing and making no effort to make space or go for any headers. Love the bloke to death but he’s been pretty disgraceful today. If it was Savinho putting that effort in, me and hundreds of others would be going mad

Losing the physical battle here, albeit not helped by the referee. Hard to see us winning this at the moment, unless we get a moment of magic from Cherki or Foden. Very few options on the bench to change things either.

Yep -they are playing at a very high intensity press but there will be chances as space opens up. So far this is a game where Bernie, by trying to slow it down, is losing the battle to find space quickly.

All of our forward players are struggling with having no time or space and there has been a lot of heavy touches as they expect the tackle. Key is to win the small battles and get them chasing then go from there.

I don't know what some expected - Forest at home, Dyche tactics and a weak ref - we just have to hang in there - for all the talk of them being better Donna has not had to make a single save to make and the only chance was the cross ball missed by their runners.
 
So disappointed with reinders barely any involvement and weak as piss in challenges
A real bare minimum performance so far
We need some width to get anything out of this game, ref falling for forest shithousery
So we will have to do this the hard way.
And forest fans are a joke calling us cheats
While one or two of their players just fall over if they feel any contact.
Still think we win this cmon city!!
 
Agree that our midfield is too passive, non physical. A winger to open up the play out wide. And Rodri on to get some control of midfield. Missing Doku a lot.
 
No changes ffs pep clearly thinks they are better in midfield & happy to sacrifice our attack. Playing with fear

Competitive match against a physical and disciplined outfit. Move the ball a little quicker and we will win the game. Before kick-off, I selected Savinho instead of Reijnders and I haven't seen anything to change my opinion that we need a little more width. Still, that can come when the physical effort of the Forest players dips a little.

I would select anybody before Reijnders, he is not a City player.
