Nottingham Forest (H) | Post Match Thread

Much improved today. Still questions as to our pace defending. Several times we looked confused at the back when they were running at us. Gundogan much better game tho he had one bad giveaway. Liked Grealish playing in the middle. Doku played much better. KDB looked good. I'm liking Ortega at the moment. He had huge one-handed save that likely would have given Forest a road back into the game. Need to keep this going against Palace.

fair comments but i feel we need one player in deep midfield with pace to run back. Nunes perhaps. Cant see Pep going with that midfield trio against any of the top teams.
 
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola fears the victory over Nottingham Forest tonight may have come at a cost.

Manuel Akanji went off at half-time and Nathan Ake was forced off in the second-half with what appeared to be a hamstring issue.

"We needed it," said Guardiola of the victory. "The club and the players, everyone needed to win. But it is just one win. The problems continued with Manuel and Nathan.

"Nathan doesn’t look good. We will see tomorrow. He could not continue and we will see in three days what will happen.

"I am sad for Nathan. Manu maybe in Turin. Nathan will be longer."

Ake had five weeks out with a hamstring injury earlier this season.

What is it with us and fucking injuries???

Much better but have to cut out the stupid errors. Got away with a few tonight as Forest could have scored a few.
Haalands lack of goals, 2 in 9 now I think is a worry as a pretty poor game by him him overall. He just has not backup in the squad to be given an rest.
Oliver his usual different rules for us and our opponents performance.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told BBC Sport: "We won. All that matters. Today is a good day."

On Kevin de Bruyne: "He played really good. Defensively he helped us a lot. Very good. I'm really pleased. He's an incredible person. What he's done these years with us have been outstanding. When he's fit, maybe he can't play every three days, but hopefully he can help us like he has since coming from Germany.

"The reality is he played few games last season and this season. We'd love to have Manu And Nathan and two defensive midfielders. They are fantastic human beings and fantastic players.

"After what happened in the past we were not relaxed until the referee's whistle at the end."

Us too, Pep, us too!
 
Not the greatest control of the game ever, but Nottingham are not bums. You definitely take this in this point of time. I hoped for upgrade for Jack and KDB before game and they delivered. For Grealish it must be some curse with blocked shots, its some highly unlikely percentege even if you try;) but overally its not neccessarly a factor as treble season proofed. Just play good and goals will come, even if all a bit dodgy. Bernardo today much better for me too
