Nottingham Forest (H) | Post Match Thread

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.

This is the perfect storm of Pep’s small squad, aging players & several years of heavy seasons, & international competitions.
Should’ve addressed the Rodri issue in the summer.
I thought Haaland was ok, was unlucky not to score, & his movement opened up the space for Doku’s goal, but he was admittedly well marshalled for most of the game

Only 28 pages post match. City are back.

Felt great to win and keep a clean sheet. Still a little shaky at the back and that'll probably continue until we get a settled back 4 :(

Jack, Kev & Jeremy we're excellent.

Up the blues.

No 10 is his natural position.

Played well last night.

When Jack runs at defences from the centre, they shit themselves.

Rico has been thrown in at the deep end due to injuries, he's not ready yet but has had to play. No idea what's happened to Walker. His legs are going and he seems to have lost all sense of positional play and defending. Something isn't right with Phil as his frequent mysterious absences prove.

it’s obvious - at least to me - that the whole squad is stale and needs a rest.

They’ve been playing competitive football, almost non-stop, for the last four years, with a few exceptions.

They all need a rest, both mentally and physically.

Much better performance and great result, we await the news of how many new injuries we picked up....

I think the blasting out of the "We’ve Got Guardiola!" song over the PA system just before kick off was a big "FUCK YOU!" to all Pep's critics and those questioning the great man and an unequivocal show of support from the hierarchy at the club.

Stopped the rot of 7 without a win and for me personally it was first league win in 7 years ...happy days!!!

Thought he did pretty well but what’s with his unwillingness to shoot.

I know it’s been a bad run but we’ve won a few games in the last 7 years mate. It’s not that bad.
