Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The table, as they say never lies.
But the 3rd and 4th best sides in the league served up 94 minutes of dire football.
 
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
We didn’t dominate anything. They were very happy with our sterile possession and knew that they’d get a chance or two out of us, and they took one of them

What did their goalkeeper have to do?
 
Decent first half without creating much all I remember is a woeful shot from Silva onto the roof and a Haaland scuffed effort.
Second half was poor. We are so slow and tedious, we don't even look like we enjoy playing football it is just methodical.
 
Fair play to NF, defended like champions, took the chance when the got it. City, not good, but did not deserve to lose. Onwards and downwards with the blues.
 
I thought the first sub should have been Marmoush for Nico. And we shouldn’t have took Foden of either, despite him not being great. It was clear we needed to have more bodies in and around the Forrest box.

We needed more attackers on to try break down the stubborn Forrest tactics.

khusanov is a beast.
 
That was fucking terrible,

Forest were crap, they really were and we didn't lay a glove on them.

Savinho and Doku together is a nightmare, I don't think they found Haaland once.

Foden completely out of sorts and Bernardo under performing, that's your whole Midfield completely ineffective.

At least we taught Jack a lesson, another one, great!

3 points tossed away again against a rubbish team that weren't even playing well.

Pep's had a nightmare today!
 
Absolute shite and summed up by their goal. We had a greatchance to break somebody overhit a simple pass, they play it out left to a guy completely unmarked who beats our goalkeeper at the near post, how the fuck does that happen!? Ederson, made one good save but ffs he's cost us so many times with goals that should never have been.
 
Except for Kova's chance where we should have gotten a point. Forest were just as mediocre as us.
No they weren’t. They have a less ambitious game plan to ours but they executed it with discipline and some skill. On the other hand we look totally brainless and technically incapable of executing Pep’s tactics.
 
His contract is up next year and he’s made insinuations about moving on before. Seems logical to look for successor, if the club has someone in mind it makes no sense to delay it.
he;s got 2 years on his deal, not 1
