Doku brilliant tonight. KDB still a cut above the rest. Grealish looks like he’s been misprofiled for years.

He is no winger.

An injury to Salah and they are fecked.

Obviously much better, but still a bit flaky in defence. Forest let us off the hook there. A touch of class in the middle from Kev and Grealish made all the difference: we were more creative and some who have been in poorish form were lifted, esp. Doku and Bernado.
Well done the boys in blue.
PS. Quote from Kev. “There has been no problem….Pep knows I have been struggling.” In other words, he was right to limit my minutes.
Quite.

SERIOUSLY -:

We should make a 2 year contract offer to Salah.

No transfer fee, wages and success fee, African Ambassador role on retire ment.

Guaranteed goals and guaranteed piss boiling on miseryside !!

Not when we keep losing players to injury, we just can’t get our best XI on the pitch.

Missing last night - Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Bobb, Stones
And getting injured - Akanji, Ake and possibly De Bruyne.

Thankfully Forest missed chances that other teams have been taking and Ortega made a couple of really good saves. We are still very fragile at defending.

Also I thought Haaland was poor very little movement from him in the box.

Couldve been 8-2 !!

Could calves out Jackie be moulded into a decent central midfielder by Pep?

Stranger things have happened.

No 10 is his natural position.

Played well last night.

Ha, can you imagine?

It'd make the threats to Slippy when he was close to signing for Chelsea, seem like child's play.

 

[Stelea]

First time for a long time we have played well both half’s.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Jack Grealish is a CM who’d have thought it. Please let’s have him in his best position moving forward Pep

Actually been thinking about it a long time so Pep does it when I'm over for the game last night and boy did it pay off
Need to cut out these silly mistakes, get a couple of reinforcements in new year and hopefully all will be fine

Pep using Rico how he should be used as a squad player only. Much better balance to the midfield last night. Who had a word with Bernie :) Jack brought such calm to the midfield. No silly balls and risky passes, but drove us up field at the right time. Pep also deserves credit for rethinking the lineup.
