Watch Gavrdiol again - it's like he has a piece of elastic tying him to the goalpost.
His first instinct is to back-pedal - at a little over walking pace. At the the other end, you'd have seen a defender attack the man with the ball, making sure he engaged before the ball was in the area.

Can't really single out Gavrdiol, though - all our lot do it - it must be coached into them.

Never mind - perhaps the exact same defending technique and substitution mentality will suddenly work next time, eh?

Gvardiol can’t defend which is pretty basic for a defender Today he couldn’t pass was worse player on the pitch
 
Got to give credit to Forest. Their defensive structure was superb.

Thought we played well up to a point. We looked far more in control until the subs came on.

Fortunately, we only have 10 more games to endure seeing Kovacic as a 6. He just can’t play there.

That’s our tricky run over now. Hopefully we can win most of the remaining games, finish top 5 and maybe win the cup.

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!

Hold on, they were allowed to kick us at every opportunity.

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.

They were mediocre there is no disgusing that.
 
Firstly the rag infiltration of this site is pathetic. Mods need to sort access. Every loss now flooded with these bell ends.

Now with that off my chest, it is what it is.

Gvardiol is a fabulous player but he is not a left back. He’s defensively the worst left back under pep and i include a broken down clichy in that. He isn’t learning. Time and time again he can be gotten behind with ease. Still think he’s a midfielder but for the love of god he is a liability at left back.

Subs gave us exactly what you’d expect. Those players aren’t fit to wear the shirt.

The fact he couldn’t bring Grealish on for whatever reason when he was what we needed says it all. Lads need to stop defending him, he’s done.

Season at this point is so bad just write it off. Stuck Reis and Khusanov in for most games, give echeverri and O’Reilly their chances.
 
Just so outrageous how we’ve had a week to prepare and still can’t beat a woeful forest team, they weren’t even good today.

Ola Aina is on his own with all the time in the world before he passes it to Gibbs-White for there goal. How is no one pressing him?

How then does that space create for that goal? It’s lack of game intelligence and just lack of effort.

I have absolutely no idea how they even begin next season because it seems we need a complete overhaul more than I thought. I’m so disappointed more than usual because it just seemed like they didn’t want it? A younger lad from the academy would’ve shown so much heart today and something we’ve missed in key games this season.

Sick to death of them this season, they don’t need a break, they need telling straight how diabolical they’ve been and they’re playing for their jobs
 
Looking ahead to next season already although the club World Cup won’t do us any favours in regards to players resting working on new formations because it’s obvious most teams have moved on while we still pass pass pass and have become so predictable. Not much the club can do for now I would prefer playing a different way now and fuck off champions league for a season.

Gvardiol did the right thing. Slowed him down. Left gim a tight angle and attempted a good block. Eddy just didn't do a good job

Rubbish he was out of position to start with he then did what he always does backing backing off then allowed the shot no block which any decent defender should do
 
We ALMOST got something from this game and thats the most rage inducing thing.

The attack was shit, but so was theirs. Both teams cancelled each other out. We just blinked first and made a fucking stupid, **** like error.

If Gvardiol, Doku and Ederson stay switched on their, that goals never happens but alas the all make a cascade of errors. Would have been happy with a point and I think we deserved one apart from that moment.

Again I've been banging on all season about this. The strength in depth is pathetically weak. Gvardiol has nobody to step into his position if he has a bad game like today. There's simply nobody behind him challenging him, so low and behold he can make mind numbingly stupid mistakes and still start. Doku similar, can get caught out position and not be forced to pay the price.
 
Sick of this game after game. Just can’t look forward to a game anymore. It’s fucking tortuous. End of the season can’t come soon enough.
 
Team just isn’t good enough:
Rico,
Nunes,
Kova,
Doku

Are not elite players and shouldn’t be near the team.

Bernardo looks gone.
Foden has been terrible all season.
KDB unfortunately looks spent.

Savinho is no Mahrez. He doesn’t seem to do enough in far too many games.

This is the worst team we’ve had in many years.

Of the 4 signings in Jan, not seen enough of Reis.
Khusanov looks really good, Nico looks decent.
I’ll be surprised if Marmoush lives up to the hype.

If we qualify for CL I’ll be shocked.
