It was all over a bit of nothing, a shove in the back by Gibbs-White, a bit of argie-bargie, barrel chesting stuff by the both of them, whatever that is, I’m sure if they look at themselves in the morning doing that, they’d be embarrassed. Then Rodri just lost his cool, whether the Forest player said something, who knows? But blimey, he should know better than that, how about, “I’ll show you the medals at the end of the game”…anything, rather than get involved in a tussle, that’s what teams want and he fell for it.

Yep. And he'll be targeted from now on. Rival players will try to wind him up. It was all so needless.

Taylor needs to be looked at by the power that be

Phillips looks so unfit, possibly a reason why Pep never plays him.

According to the bbc football website….
His dismissal made City's task much harder on the day, and also means his side will be without him for the forthcoming matches against Wolves, Arsenal and Brighton.

Rodri was a fucking idiot but Taylor allowing a bunch of cart-horses to kick lumps out of us all game was the reason why there was so much animosity on the pitch.

It was a good win in the end with Forest creating next to fuck all even with an extra man for 45 mins.

The worrying thing is that midfield without Rodri. Nunes looks fine on the ball but off it, he looks a bit lost. Philips is Philips, looks completely out of his depth. We need Kovacic and/or Stones fit, and sharpish.

Any idea when Kova May be back?

Who’s that? Howard Webb…?

 

[give it to gordon]

Rest most of the first teamers mid-week. Give Philip's a full 90 to see if he can make it here. Plus use first teamers that havent played much.

Sure i heard the same about Haaland after the Newcastle game and nothing came of it. It was a moment of stupidity and it wont happen again.

Shitting ourselves against forest, lol

Red cards can completely change the momentum of games.

Why, he was following their instructions as he always does v us, look at his performance away at Arsenal, away at Dippers where he said he will let fouls go then rules out our goal for a slight foul in the build up, Chelsea away etc.
He is the 1 ref i fear getting above all others even Oliver for screwing us over.
He started in the 2nd minute today and let them off 2 bookings in the 1st 10 minutes then books Akanji and Pep shortly after for their player standing on the ball and falling over
