Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[ancoats]

All the travelling city fans you got mugged off today, A Disgrace and hang your heads in shame

its a joke ? we have had a week off and time to work on things, Then the game today and players walking and not wanting to play and go hiding, Bollocks to the injuries it's just not washing with me anymore. today was a shocker and Haaland Foden Silva Doku you did not earn your wages.

Pep let this happen and all season it's the same old shit, Its ok to lose this season ??? Pep your are so wrong

 

[I'm Blue]

First half I thought we played alright, second was a close boring game.
Though Forest started to edge it as we tired.
Piss poor goal to concede though.
Eddie and Gvardiol at fault.
Gvardiol has to do better to stop him getting his shot off and Eddie has to save that at his near post.
Ah well it was always gonna be a tough game the way we’re playing.
Hopefully our performances improve as our fixtures start to get easier.

 

[WallyA]

Just play O Reilly? Stop being scared to play him.

Why are we using Gvardiol in a back 3? This is way too passive by Pep, Gvardiol has literally played his best football this season as a wingback, let the winger have more freedom to play inside.

Theres no point to a back 3 when the team isnt going to press you, we have less numbers higher up to overload and we cant make chances.

Pep is way too passive.

 

[paulsimpson]

Gvardiol allowing all the space in the world, then proceeds to allow their winger to run into the six yard box. Ederson should have saved it but it’s shit defending. We just needed to be tight and take the point. Absolute wankers the lot of them.

Pep doesn't have draws in his locker

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

We had no idea how to deal with them all game. Plus too many mediocre performances from key City players.

Roll on the summer and hopefully a clean sweep out of mediocrity ….

 

[ShedDweller]

Watch again. Gvardiol awful. Let him all the way to the edge of the 6 yard box unchallenged

That has to be the coaching. I've never seen a team back off the way we do.

 

[zandvoort blue]

Got the subs totally wrong. Taking Gonzalez collapsed our structure. Whilst we never looked like scoring, for 60 minutes, we were in complete control. I would have taken a point before we started and we've basically gifted Forest 3 points.

 

[come-on-barney]

I see the players are getting blamed again, or is it Rhodri still missing?

 

[Mancini'sImaginaryCard]

Woeful stuff, if we played another 90 minutes we wouldn’t score

 

[blue44]

doku

wow

you're shite , but wow, what pep see's in you is stunning

 

[Saddleworth2]

Two very skilful wingers and one of the best strikers in the world. It takes real talent to make them look as bad as they do.

 

[Zenmanc]

Pep spends games now throwing his hands up in disgust instead of actually coaching. I honestly think he's done.

 

[Roachy]

Draw would have been a fairer result. They weren't brilliant.

We got what we deserved.

 

[Bald fraud]

I think pass pass pass football is dead

 

[RayCTID]

We got exactly what we deserved.
And we will get the same at Bournemouth.

Except for Kova's chance where we should have gotten a point. Forest were just as mediocre as us.

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

We’re becoming irrelevant like Arsenal. They win the top at Christmas and best corner routines trophy. We win the most possession trophy. Unfortunately football has moved on from the slow build up. We’ve got players who can be direct but we rarely use them properly because Pep will crucify them if they lose the ball. How many times have we seen Haaland running on to a ball over the top? We must realise we aren’t the best team in the land and all the world this year but we haven’t adapted how we play accordingly. It’s such a frustrating watch at the moment.

 

[Gordyola]

God almighty have we lost the over reaction is ridiculous The team is in a rebuild yet still went to team in third and dominant the game Yeah there was lots of things wrong but if City played like Forrest with a parked bus at home 30% procession week in week out the reaction on here would be worse Fingers can be pointed at Pep fro his subs but once they settled down it was fine two players went to sleep Doku and mainly Gvardiol who can’t defend he was too far away and then allowed the shot yeah Eddy, who has to cover two angles, might have done better but the shot shouldn’t have been allowed That goal wouldn’t have happened down our right with a player who knows how to defend

 

[paulsimpson]

Utter dogshit, and that was just Forest! How the fuck do we concede so many soft goals against teams who create so few chances?

Having said that, wasting all that possession in the final third because nobody can play a decent final ball is soul destroying, especially when we've got the best goalscorer in the world up front.

To add insult to injury, the commentary and refereeing was disgustingly biased towards Forest.

That bias will never change.

 

[RayCTID]

We got what we deserved.

Nope. They hardly battered us

 

[heslops barnet]

What load of shit.
Fucking sick of the same passive shit each week.
Sick of opponents having acres of space on our left.
Sick of players who can’t play a more than hour.
Sick of crucial errors
Sick of corners and free kicks never producing anything
Sick of shit average signings (looks like we are still making them)
Sick of 75% of the team not finishing the game where they started
Sick of slow play
Sick of the unwillingness to put an early cross in
Fucking Sick
They kiss top 5 on the arse

No chumps league next season will seriously hamper new signings
