Fairly kind to us at Goodison Park last season, sent the Uruguayan Andy Carroll off this season too.

He did fail to send Milner off against us at Anfield though.

Another allowing us to be shit kicked with little comeback.

Just seen Cooper on MOTD2 whining about City's extra day of recovery

Disappointing I thought he was less of a moaner than most bosses

Channelling some inner Sean Dyche and Neil Warnock there isn’t he?

Good team Forest. Were excellent against Spurs and don't look out of place in the PL. They've also won the European Cup twice, and back to back at that. I'd take 1-1 right now.

You have cast your rod far there

 

[mancityvstoke]

do you think they'll mention the European Cup?

Especially because each of their fans will buy two, back-to-back

I see us hitting them for 6 .

From what i have seen of them, they are a very naive team who leave way too much space at the back to be exploited by other teams.

Sure they play some nice stuff,and knock it about it,no real end product though.

Should be a good evening for our attacking players.

Yeah I was saying earlier the amount of room they gave Kane was just asking for trouble. They’re lucky the likes of Son isn’t really at the races this season yet, otherwise they might’ve got a mauling yesterday

Try that against us and they’ll take a shellacking, for sure.

That said, they might’ve looked at Spurs and thought results aside, they haven’t looked that good so thought they could take them on.

Wouldn’t at all be surprised if they’re instructed to play in a negative manner against us. Then again, They might look at the fact we have conceded goals and it gives them a bit of hope.

Either way, they just look pretty poor at the back. Even though they’ve had an ok-ish start for a newly promoted team, they’ll take a few hammerings if they keep leaving the space they did yesterday when I watched them, starting on Wednesday.

They played ok against Spurs but we're absolutely toothless up front.

Johnson looks like a player but unlike Spurs we'll completely donmiate possession and Steve Cook up against Haaland will be a complete mismatch.

4-0
