Worst thing about arsenals wobble and us having a inconstant season is we’ve put those dirty filthy rags in a title race ffs

 

[Burtonblue]

True but to point to how we dominated an average Forest side as some sign we are back to our best is a little deluded.

I think some players are
We are really missing KDB’s influence.
He’s not even been average since the wc…

 

[Lavinda Past]

People on here blame Ederson is making him a scape goat.

Poor really

He probably should have cut out the cross but missed the ball.

Just a little mistake but very costly.

One important thing to do in the whole game, and he does it wrong.

Shit happens, but it really shouldn't be happening almost every time the opposition gets a shot on target.

After the fortuitous derby win I agree

 

[decmancity]

Outcoached? We could have won 6-0 easily...overload us? They only had the goal. Not even another half chance really. What match did you watch? Or you just saw the final result?

Cooper saw us miss chances after chance and made changes. They were attacking Bernardo in the air all game and they knew he wasn't physically there, so targeted him and where did the goal come from?

I watched the match with my eyes. At the stadium. Yourself?

 

[ancoats]

when the games too easy we start pissing about

Yep

you could see and feel it coming ? You have to go that little bit more and hurt them, never take the foot off the gas or think we are too good for them and our quality will see us through,

that is why the Premier League is the hardest thing to win, because quality sometimes loses,

 

[mcfcpride]

De Bruyne needs to stop feeling sorry for himself.

 

[nellyonthewing]

because of the way we set up/defend there is very lttle he can do about most of them....

Give over he's massively overrated and has declined since he first came because the sweeper keeper is all he has now its commonplace.

 

[Bigga]

It's fine margins, but it seems Guardiola likes to 'trust' his players to themselves out of a hole.

It wasn't happening today and I think Bernardo's goal masked that.

I don't like the fact Guardiola's gone back to changing things at the very last minute when the subs can't do anything about it.

As much as I admire De Bruyne, he should have gone, moved Foden to his position and Alvarez to replace him.

I have to put this as a Guardiola error and I don't like doing that.

Great performance, but poor finishing cost us. People need to calm down. I am as frustrated with the result as everyone else, but look at the wider picture:

Next week might be totally different. We win vs Bournemouth and Arsenal drop points vs Leicester who are in form. If we had played like we did vs Spurs today i would be very worried, but we didnt.

We created plenty of chances against a low block. So thats 3 good performances in a row, meaning that City are well and truly back. 14 games left, so there is a long way to go.

What he said. I think we could all see what was coming when we missed so many chances in the second half. But we made those chances and on another day, we score five. Long way to go. Everyone try to calm down.

 

[super_city_si]

A little touch on his shoulder (probably just outside the box) and he dropped like a sack of shit rather than going for goal.
Shameful for a striker of his calibre.

Yes it was shit. nowhere near enough for him to drop like that. He could easily have got the ball and had a chance.
really disappointing to see from him.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

I hope Kev is told to fuck off on holiday for a month After the last game of the season. He needs a proper break.

Sublime to the ridculous at the moment , he looks knackered for at least 50% of our games , and agree he needs a good break from the game in May , he isnt getting any younger.

 

[dadnlad]

With the home crowd with an Champions League winner as a goalkeeper, Forest was tricky. Especially if we didn't put the effort in (which we did for most parts)

still defend what you got with 10 minutes to go

 

[cookster]

I’d love to hear some feedback on this, but to me it looked like foden was ready to pass that ball to Haaland the second he received it instead of just going straight for goal himself. Looked caught between two minds there.

Correct.
I want the 17-18 year old Foden back. Fearless and decisive.

Nonsense. If we lost on Wednesday it would have made a big differenxez

Some spoilt brats on here.

We don’t have a right to and wont win every game. What matters is that we play well. Today was not like other games where we have not won. We were good and should have finished it off Foden chance the obvious one. We didn’t. It happens.

Plenty of effort from Kev, shortage of qualty.

 

[SidJames]

When we got to their box it was always a case of start fucking about, over complicating it, one touch too many every time, or the wrong option .Bernado put his laces through the Ball,i wish others would try this with a bank of 10 players defending.

This is our Achilles Heal when we play shite sides intent only on defending.

They let us have the Ball, then we play in to their hands by reverting to a slow pass,pass,pass,game trying to walk the Ball in to the Net.

We should be more direct get a couple of goals ahead and force the opposition to change style .

We had only 36% possession against Arsenal but were more direct.

We fall in to a trap of focusing only on possession Ball

Their game plan 11 Behind the Ball for 80 minutes, hopefully we keep it 0-0,or 0-1 then go for it the last 10 minutes.

 

[burning blue soul]

It looks to me like instead of Haaland having to take 12 months to adapt to City tactics, it is taking City 12 months to adapt to Haaland.



Players are hesitant when they used to be sure.

 

[Mr Edward's shoe mirror]

It played out like a pantomime, almost predictable.

When i say the 2 managers on the touchline together, then i knew it was some pantomime.... Beauty and the Beast

Cooper has the expression of someone who has just been booted in the balls and he's trying to style it out.
