I thought Nunez was outstanding, we ha e a real player there, he glides past people and his movement in erlings goal show high football intelligence. Forest are poor but probably better than 3 other teams in the league.

I agree, Burnley, Luton and the rags..!

the red card could have been avoided if the alty twat had given a free kick for the obvious barge in the back on rodri which sent him to ground then the forest player all over him when he'd won the ball back, fuck me he couldn't wait to get the red out

Like Anthony Wedgwood-Benn?

Do you mean The Honourable Lord Stansgate MP?

 

[lazerblue]

The silver lining is we will know if Phillips has any future at City as he should start 3 in a row now.

don't hold your breath!

Agree he couldn't wait to get his card out.
The fact the VAR review took so long as well was quite telling.
Clearly they thought the Alty cheat had been a bit hasty and it wasn't that clear cut in real time hence them asking him to hang fire. Taylor put his hand against his ear so was clearly listening to VAR advising him to wait.
By the letter of the law it was a red but the point is that Taylor couldn't wait to flash his card and had he refereed the match to an acceptable standard prior to this we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Certainly true with Lewis but as fans we should support Kalvin, ain’t nothing for us in being negative, maybe he’ll get some confidence back and start to add some value

The selection without Rodri will tell us exactly what Pep thinks.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Not looking for any targets or scapegoats….just saying the lad’s been here for quite a while now and injury or not had plenty of opportunity to show something at some stage which he just hasn’t.
I would love him to prove me wrong as I will always support anyone pulling on our shirt but I continue to fear he’s just not up to the job.

He did prove you wrong. He did as well as anyone in midfield or attack when he came on yesterday. He also did well for England. People just need to take their “Phillips is shit” blinkers off. He wasn’t shit yesterday

 

[KS55]

Established England international Kalvin Phillips you mean? He certainly hasn’t done well at City, hasn’t worked for him, yet at least, but some of you lot need to give the lad a break, fucking hell. He played well for England in Scotland, and he did ok when he came on yesterday. It’s really poor the shit he’s getting, any mistake highlighted, anything good ignored. There’s always been scapegoats (Crossan, Power, Edgehill, Mahrez, Phillips etc) and it’s always been pathetic.

There were plenty slagging off Rodri during his first season.

Does the PFA take action against its members for getting another member sent off ?

Gibbs-white clearly plays up trying to get a fellow member of the PFA in trouble. It's not a good look for the PFA

I’ve often thought that there should be a PFA rule sanctioning play acting that’s gets a fellow pro into trouble. Fat chance.
