horrible defending on their goal.
Bernardo, Laporte, Rodri all at fault for the assist can be made there.
then watch Wood how he can arrive from outside the box and connect with that cross. Walker imo should have been clearing that cross.

The Kepa that got slated for not cutting out the similar ball to the back post for Mahrez to bag… that Kepa, yesYou've not heard of Kepa, no?
Let’s get rid of Ederson and slaughter Kepa instead, yes

Agree re Foden stalling but considering his age 21 he is a long way before he peaks and will be much much more than a decent squad playerSlightly harsh. The two on one the ball bobbled badly at the vital time he was deciding to shoot or pass, but his indecision didn't help matters.
I will agree though his progress appears to have stalled after a meteoric upward trajectory. It can happen with young players. Mason Mount seems to be going through similar struggles at Chelsea. I thought Foden would go on to be world class, Gazza with a more steady disposition. He still might but it's looking more likely he'll be another decent squad player sadly.

Seen it before when Walker loses a man behind himhorrible defending on their goal.

Just received this from a Forest ST holder…
Big point for us especially looking at other results. Really enjoyed watching city though absolute quality and noisiest fan's this season by far at forest
That can't be right, everyone knows we have no fans or history!
Just watched the highlights back and we battered them. It was just one of those days, we missed some sitters. Not sure how we didn't get a pen and if you watch their goal, one of their players pulls one of ours down in the box, so not sure how it stood.
Shit happens though. We fight on!

I thought we played with the urgency that we’ve been lacking for most of the season, especially in the build up play
For whatever reason, we lacked the usual composure we usually have once we get chances. A lot of our play was really good but then we would try to force the final ball or shot.
I’d like to put it down to being one of those days because it’s rare we are super wasteful when we create chances. But then that would also be ignoring the fact we can’t seem to string a good run together and never teams that get at us really fancy their chance of scoring. As we saw against Everton, we score and then seem to relax a bit too much and let teams have a chance of getting back into the game.
I don’t know, yesterday was just a kick in the bollocks because we created plenty. It’s not like we were poor. On another day, we would’ve hammered them but we’re fighting for a league title and we can’t be throwing games away like this anymore or we’ll run out of games.
I still think we need to start finding some top defenders that are not injury prone and not square pegs in round holes and start looking at some midfielders with energy.
We can all laugh at liverpool and that Klopp has burnt out his team but we’re only a season or two away from that too if we don’t start bringing some new quality into the club.

Ah well, just watched MOTD.
Fuckinell, Arse had some luck and we had absolutely none.
Villa doing their best to give Arse chances to score and they didn't take them yet Villa remaining in the game and going in front twice, could've been a 3rd time if the shot off the bar hits an unsuspecting goalie on the back of the head and goes in!
The 4th goal is the stuff we all dream of but rarely happens.
Compare to our game and those chances where usually the ball ends up in the back of the net, if not from the first effort but from ricochets, rebounds or whatever. (Think Arse's 3rd and the Laporte header and Haaland chance off the bar).
As for the Haaland Tug, players have been sent off for much less than that as last man, not a pen as probably outside box but not nothing either.
Any other day we win that comfortably, freak results yesterday and we have clawed back the lead over the last 4 games.
All to play for, Arse will think all their Christmas's came at once yesterday after we beat them Mid week, this is far from over though.

Frustrating result, but the performance was excellent (minus the finishing, that is). Not our day. Even Haaland missed a clear chance (or two). Shit happens.
That game was probably ideal for Alvarez. But Pep couldn't afford to drop KDB or sub him off earlier after his performance at Arsenal. KDB wasted about 10 attacks with poor shots and passes. Not his day.
Foden wasted a big chance, but, IMO, his overall performance was good.
In football, nothing is guaranteed. Games like yesterday's happen on a regular basis. Those who think they have the solutions should become managers.
I like the new formation with Bernie, we play a lot better with him than with Lewis. It's not ideal, of course, but having two defensive FBs in Walker and Ake would stifle our attack. At least one of the FBs should be good in the build-up play and attack, especially against poor or high-pressing teams.

Big time, really deflated tbhI said I'd sleep on it and I'd feel better in the morning. Nope, wrong. It still bloody stings!
