They created a goal, genius

Obviously apart fron the goal you genius. And again, game completely controlled, we had plenty of chances. We were sharp and quick. Great match overall. Frustraing? Sure, but anyone here moaning is just clueless

City fans of a certain vintage knew what was coming. So wasteful after so much good play.

Nothing wrong with the formation, just players not able to hit a barn door from close range

Not even the tactic that Pep called horrible, which was pulling the wide midfielders inside.

Formation was not a problem today, finishing was.

One error cost us and I do think that could have been avoided by bringing on Ake earlier. I'm one of Pep's fans but he had to react to Forest final subs.

I'd have brought Phillips on too.

Curate’s Egg of a season, never know which MCFC will turn up.

They did turn up
Played very well against a well organised Forest side and couldn't score the 2nd goal.
Created so many chances. I'm very happy with that. If Forest don't score we are top again and singing City's praises. But instead it's so frustrating to let one in. Got to be able to defend a one nil lead. That's the negative Pep is to work on.

Forest rode their luck today.



Red Bull won easy earlier I'm not looking forward to Weds.



Nkunko back off the bench too.

Forest scoring a goal from their first chance was always going to happen after missing several sitters. You just knew it would happen.

Will Ederson ever block a shot when it counts? He's usually tasked with making 1 or 2 saves a game and always comes up short.

Generally true, but today wasn't his fault at all.

 

[Elbow beards]

On a positive note only 2 points behind and Arsenal are looking decidedly dodgy. Plenty of twists to come.

We are going the right way about gifting this seasons title to Arsenal. Pep won't be able to speak English again in the after match interview.

I actually think the Rags will win it with us 3rd. They would not have missed those chances today BUT they would have certainly had 1 penalty, an opponent sent off and about 7 minutes added on, given how they and us are officiated esp since Webb returned, i think they are in with a huge chance given how we and Arsenal are playing

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.

It's so difficult atm. We're trying to find the balance between utlizing haaland's strengths to a 100% while also trying to maintain the control(False 9) and spreading of goals across the whole team as was done last season
