This result was compounded by the rags win. They are challengers and sadly Ole is no longer at the wheel.

Pep didn't react to the Wood sub.

2nd this. I was screaming for sub either Ake or Akanji come on when I saw Wood. It is so plain and simple basic stuff. Just manage the game out Pep!

KDB and Foden should both came off. KDB had a shocker. Foden was good but a 60 min is enough for anyone returning from injury.

Still not over this defeat

What defeat?

Petty, I know. But is this allowed??? Two footies on the pitch.
Forest score without us touching the ball, from this starting point.

if this is their goal we had a shot that went into the crowd. Keeper used an alternative ball for the goal kick and the original ball was then thrown on the pitch and landed behind the keeper. Ref had no idea there were two balls on the pitch and I reckon it was about four of five seconds later keeper looked round and kicked it off. Ref should have stopped the game and restarted it. I don’t recall this being when they scored but may be wrong

Their fans threw it back on to waste time iirc

Felt like one tbf
Their pubs were setting off fireworks afterwards so they definitely saw it as a victory

With respect i disagree slightly
These games are now far too predictable now when we go 1 up.
I don't know whether its a pep tactic slightly not to go a little easy to save legs etc but everyone knew what was going to happen when we didn't score a 2nd. Copy and paste the Everton game and the Villa away game I think it was. Its so frustrating even listening to it on the radio you knew what was coming. It's like seeing the same film agai when you know the outcome.
The main question is why are we not scoring more goals when we've got arguably the world's best striker? Foden also has take a lot of the blame for failing to pass properly.
All in all a very poor result.

We were shit against both Everton and Villa and got what we deserved, as we tried to see it out 1-0.

We were not shit against Forest, far from it. Even at 1-0, we were going all out for the second and our urgency was spot on.

We have scored more goals than anyone in the division and Haaland has 33, so I'm not sure what else people are expecting?

Foden was caught in two minds, which I understand, because he is trying to impress Pep again and was waiting for Haaland to join up, and lost his footing deciding to be unselfish.

It was a poor result but the performance was very encouraging, certainly in terms of quite a few games this season where we are in possession for the sake of it or can't break down the packed defences.

Nobody can legislate for not taking our chances, but we will win most games out of sight playing the way we did.
