Embarrassing. We played generally well, but in that result exposed our biggest weakness...our system and style of play doesn't result in easy and clear chances. Yeah, haaland hit the bar in front of goal and then got distracted by on onrushing keeper, but generally we create half chances and because we never take risks this happens all too often.

I actually hate how risk averse we play. I'd rather lose through getting defensively exposed than farting around terrified to turn over possession around the opposition box.

We also need some new training staff who know about shooting.

We created several easy, not half chances today, just fluffed them.

Which two today?

I thought de Bruyne and Haaland were well below par, today. Some will disagree but it’s all opinions.

If we had another playmaker then KDB would be on the bench.

He's overweight and can't run like he used to. His passing has been off for ages now.

We're quickly becoming the Haaland team. If he doesn't score then we struggle for goals.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar game at Bournemouth next week 80% possession go a goal up then miss sitter after sitter after sitter and lo and behold Bournemouth 1 shot one goal result 1-1 ..

Refs will all be taking note of that performance…a master stroke of almost completely biased officiating made to look fair and reasonable.


Let them kick fuck out of us for 85 minutes and then started to call foul against the city players giving it back……

Can't blame the ref - other than the penalty appeal, which was soft and not booking Aurier which wasn't soft....to be fair, we fucked this one up ourselves.

Inability to turn possession into goals. Yo-yo season continues. Let's hope we can solve the problem sooner rather than later.

well it’s a different feeling walking away from the ground today than Wednesdays. Performance was probably better overall today, which is the bizarre thing. But, missed chances! Embarrassing decision making from phil at the start of the half. Haaland has to score. Laporte should of also with the header. Really feels like it just isn’t going to be our season this season.

Its scary how few attacks a team needs to score against us. Maybe a world class goalkeeper instead of Grealish would of made a difference.

What were the Forest fans like today, I imagine giving it all the cheats songs?

See, you are talking just because we drew. We had plenty of chances, good combinations, we didn't suffer at all. If this was 0-6, none would have been surprised. Football is not for you my friend.

Part of the disconnect today is square pegs in round holes but the fuck up from Phil was shocking.. A simple schoolboy pass needed and he fucks it up.. He crosses and the game’s over
