Thought jack had a great game in midfield and gave us back some much needed control

He's a more physical presence and holds the ball up well.

I have never said this since Pep took charge but winning it is out of reach this season. Sign a couple in January and we could make a late run and maybe even with the champions league, but not the premier league this year.

I don’t think we will win the CL either without a couple of signings. We really need at least 2 players to come in, maybe 3 Ake/Stones are just too injury prone, Walker is looking ropey and we need a holding mid.

Whether we can get the right quality in Jan remains to be seen.

Just back from the game. Really enjoyed that tonight. Injuries to Ake and Akanji have put a bit of a dampener on it, but that was a much improved performance. De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish and Doku stood out. Nice to get back to winning ways, let’s hope we can keep the momentum going at Palace.

They injuries?
Ake walked off looking fine and thought Walker was strategic?
Probably both out for months though knowing us :-(

Not a problem for me. It’s a bigger problem for you if you are comparing him to Salah.

He had a decent game so he's obviously Ginola this week, he could be Ricky Holden come next week mind:-)

Lots of positives but when Kev went off we lost a lot of creativity & lost a bit of control. Desperate for a player or 2 in January.

Gvadiol still doing Silly things but a bit of confidence will do him great

Gundy is going to cost us soon when facing our goal he is so slow. Played ok today but had jack & Kev around him. Still got caught out too many times but still one of his better games

Dias & Ortega very good today

 

[Roachy]

Nice tidy game from the lads with plenty of positives. Had control of Forest other than the 4 or 5 sloppy passes that we made. Hope we go on a nice winning run now.

Agreed it's a step too far this season. We can't win it every year I guess and the squad is showing its age and are shattered mentally and physically. The killer is all the injuries, we just can't catch a break and as a result we are inconsistent as we can never play the same side twice.

Fucking mint, that.

Grealish in the middle was good I thought, his distribution and control are better. Bernie wide was more effective. Hope Ake injury is not too bad he is so composed which we need.
