Nottingham Forest (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Micky Blue]

No nico o'Riley and you get a weak midfield

And less of a goal threat.

 

[super_city_si]

Haaland cant score - hes a real problem, not much use out of goals. This we need wingers again - width not from the full backs.

 

[waspish]

That urgency last 10 mins is how you play all game!

At moment We beat Arsenal it’s 4 points still long way to go but we just not clinical enough! Seen nerves this game and Guehi forcing the passes Nunes bit sloppy! Rodri silva Nouri were great! Forest though worked there bollocks off and capitalised on our poor passing!

 

[Allnightlong]

Neither were penalties

Anywhere else on pitch free kicks…..defo pens imo

 

[mancityscot]

Tough opponent. They deserved a point. The semi circle passing game doesn’t win you titles.

This too. They are solid solid side on their day, defend well and have some excellent players. League position doesn’t tell the whole story. Regardless, we shouldn’t be dropping points to them in a title run in

 

[phargrave]

Mental decision bringing Savinho on, he offers absolutely fuck all.
Madness by Pep, Haaland and Foden missing in action again

Haaland offers even less

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Don't panic Blues', Arsenal still have a few Fcuk ups left in them.

...and so do we unfortunately

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Neither were penalties

Haaland one is 100% penalty. Sels takes out his right foot regardless of the level of contact. This will be given 99/100 times in the PL. Today they decided that a 3-1 would have killed the game and instead wanted a show.

 

[Bluearmy]

Title over can we talk about Erl and Phil whats going on with them ?.And who decided to keep Sav ???

Cant pick Foden, Bernardo and Cherki together!! But agree Foden and Erl were poor. That Savinho decision was ludicrous!!

 

[city2]

Why are we playing with urgency at the 80min instead from the first min so annoying

 

[Goater101]

Those subs absolutely killed us. Well done Pep. Literally none of them made sense. That’s the title done.

 

[jamielowndes]

You have to beat Nottingham fucking Forest at home in March. I dont care if they're fighting for survival. There are 15/16 places between you in the league.

 

[SaintColin]

We're just not that good.
It was never sustainable putting in average performances week after week.

This. The team isn’t actually that good. So many stiff players that just don’t suit the team. Our wing options are awful and we’re relying on Nunes and Ait Nouri to create every game. 500 million btw.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Savinho wasn't the problem, that's just jumping on him for no reason.

Missed an open net from 5 yards.

The **** is shit

 

[wolviedinho]

Unlucky at the end but we just didn’t do enough. Never felt safe, team laboured.

Big dropped points.

The lack of clinical play is back. Load of the ball around their box but couldn’t really create anything with the limited space. Don’t know how Foden starts. Shadow of the player.

Counter attack expected as always. Small details and this game had lots. The back heel goal ffs.

Sav and Doku had no impact. That for me lays bare the issue. One ain’t good enough and the other can’t string 4 games in a row.

Anyway, unnecessary dropped points. Highlighting once again the squad weaknesses.

Forest did well staying compact and hitting us on the break. Probably a fair result but worth nothing in a title race.

We are at least 5 players away from top level. Lot of luck needed in recruiting.

 

[FBBlue]

Foden shite again n need to put him in the starting 11 tonight

Honestly I’d sell him. He didn’t track back for the second goal. Too busy making babies

 

[phargrave]

Don't panic Blues', Arsenal still have a few Fcuk ups left in them.

So do we…

 

[Allnightlong]

So the challenge on Rodri…?

Nothing to see….play on !!!!!

 

[Ian Latham]

Cherki, Foden and Silva cannot play together, said in the match thread. Way too similar, left footed, small, slow, always want ball to feet and rarely break forward or make runs off the ball. Pep got it seriously wrong tonight. Other players didn't do much either but when you are effectively playing with 3 players offering very little it really shows, especially in games like this.

So frustrated as this should have been an easy (ish) 3pts. I'd probably say it would take a minor miracle for us to win the league now, not impossible but extremely unlikely and for us to throw it away on a game like this is really annoying.

We keep going, but my heart and head are now in the same place and i'm fucking gutted.

 

[Enzo's Mascara]

Phil still reeling in that fuckin big carp.
