After Wednesday and then Arsenal fluking it late on, that can only be described as a massive bottle job. Identical game to Villa away.
Not sure this group has the balls or the bottle anymore

 

[Protein Junkie]

Very disappointing result given the possession and chances.
However we win, draw and lose as a Club and that includes supporters to channel disappointment appropriately.
Some posts outing certain players are frankly embarrassing. Sounds so entitled whilst others are not City fans.
Get behind the Boys !!!

 

[Lavinda Past]

The performance was really good. The finishing was really bad.Very frustrating.

"Really bad" must be the understatement of the season. It was terrible.

 

[city warrior]

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?

And what about the rest of 88 minutes? Attacking Bernardo? Could you please tell us any other chance they had on Bernardo side? They literally didn't have anythibg else. Not any dangerous cross, they never beat Bernardo other than the goal. If we have 8 pebalties 5 1v1, and we draw 1-1 where the opposition only created one chance, you would be saying the same.

Your definition of outcoaches: we drew. That's it

 

[jimharri]

We don't concede loads of goals, but by Christ we concede some easy ones.

Yep. Teams don't appear to have to morph into Barca 2011 to create chances against us. If a side scores against you after a move of technical brilliance, you can hold your hands up, and give credit where it's due. That's not the case at this moment in time. Like you said, we give up easy goals.

 

[waspish]

Did say yesterday at Forest used to be our boggy team always tight affairs not many goals

 

[WickyWain]

Fucking fireworks in the streets for a point???

Fuck knows what the party was like when they won the European Cup.

(Before they were born)

Great away support again today Blues.

I'm still waiting for the trophy presentation!

 

[super_city_si]

We can win games 1-0 you know. Anyone can miss chances.

Pep didn't react to them making several subs. Just kept letting us get overloaded on Bernardo and they threw on a striker and scored. What a shock.

I was surprised he didnt do anything. He is the best but sometimes hes so slow to react To something i thought was clear.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

I'd love to see even one of those stars on a City shirt.

So would I but I would expect to see it displayed on a shirt in a CL game and not in a PL game.

 

[bluedreamer]

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.

Agree totally.
He was clean through and he did that. Embarrassing

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fucking Raging.

Not at Forest, or the ref (for a change).

Today I saw the champions play. And they are called Arsenal.

We did everything but wrap the game up.

Forest got their chance and took it. We didn't. That's the difference between first and second

 

[Bluearmy]

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.

Not his biggest fan but it was a great ball across the goal….. harsh to blame Ederson for that goal

 

[Bigga]

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.

Foden could have made it easy for everyone.

There was no need to think twice.

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Lots of piss boiling on here, not a tad of humour and sarcasm is accepted, understandably.

Anyway, great opportunity to keep the top spot missed.
I'd wager this is one's on Pep's reluctance to refresh Bernardo's legs until it's too late.

But the blues never give in, we'll be back, we will, won't we?

Onto Leipzig.

 

[waspish]

After the initial being pissed of just because we played so well and missed so many chances, before Wednesday games I would gladly taken 4 points from the two games.

 

[MichaelBBack]

What a shame. To go and beat Arsenal in the manner we did and to screw up like that in the very next game... So disheartening.

Personally I can't fault Pep for this one. We had 20 odd shots and more than enough excellent chances to win that. It's on the players. I adore Kev but his radar was miles off, and Phil looked dynamite at times but also arguably cost us the match. Big Erl frustrating as well.

The worrying part is that the longer it went on, the more sure I was that they'd get an equaliser. Felt a lot like that Villa game earlier in the season.

And that's where, even though I don't blame him, Pep has gotta take some credit. We could see it was turning into one of those games and there were players on the bench who could've come on and just calmed things down and seen the 1-0 out.

Instead, two points dropped.

But keep the faith blues. We're still more than in this. Plenty of points to play for.

 

[PPT]

Forest are defying gravity in their league position. I think they’re the poorest side in the prem. Piss off back to the championship and take that pathetic shirt with its two stars with you.

There’s a reason they have two stars on their shirts. And that’s when it was a true ‘Champions’ League.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

"Really bad" must be the understatement of the season. It was terrible.

Fiasco has always been a favourite word of mine for describing the indescribable :)

 

[Kippax77]

Think it frustrates more because we played well.
Shit finishing and decision making screwed us

 

[Dodge]

I'm still waiting for the trophy presentation!

They were appalling mate.
Everton revisited today.
Hey ho - on to Leipzig.
