Good in parts , awful at times ref was to put it kindly inept

Your assessment of the ref's performance is massively over- generous

I was being kind as it's still the festive season

I am always happy when a team looking for fouls then loses a game because the foul that they were looking for is not given. The spirit of the game is hindered by those who go to ground too easily, and in Jesus they had that player from minute one. It is upto referees to deal with it, and if you do not give the foul for a player writhing on the floor, then you need to book them for trying to con you.

Great win we don’t find it easy there.

Ref was shite, forest are a rugby team, but a great win for City and the results continue. Cherki was class, Foden grew into the game well and Nico Gonzalez is fast becoming our most important player. A good result

Forest, a rugby team? They spent more time diving about than pretty much any team we’ve played all season, they wouldn’t last two minutes on a rugby pitch.

One thing that did piss me off a lot and it’s not the first time is Gvadiols distribution of the ball. He gives the ball away over and over again in some of the most basic positions. If he could sort that out he’d be so so good.

That Jesus was a dirty twat and a cheat. Ref bought it. Terrible tackle on Foden.

You clearly do not understand the PiGMOL protocols to be adopted when one of their officials is in charge of a game involving City.

Any picture/video of it?

Not seen any replays, but then it doesn't suit the media narrative.

[citytill1die84]

He was not.

Erm.............

The goal came from Reijnders not controlling the ball.


Hellllllllooooo

Just finished watching it, having avoided the result. Even forgetting about Nico G and Tijani's 'efforts' to get back during the attack that led to their goal, that wasn't the best performance this season, or the most eye-catching result, but that has done more to encourage me than any other game this year.

Much more closing down in packs, an obviously brilliant team spirit and some of the forward play was terrific. Phil in particular very unlucky to be outshone by Cherki's goal contributions. That ball was really pinging around at times.

Even Sav almost pulled off what would have been a fantastic pass to Erling.

There's no way that we'd have won that match last season, after having been pegged back. A classic 'champions' 3 points.

Edit: Just watched it again and Nico's just slow, Tijani still looks lazy, though.

He misplaced 6 passes out of 93, with two of the misplaced passes being long balls, so 93.6% pass completion, which I’d saying is passing to team mate over and over again.

Best part of the day for me was when my nearly 4 yr old granddaughter started singing “he’s got no hair but we don’t care” when she saw Pep on the screen at the end. Absolutely killed me!

 

[red 2 hats]

I didn't see the game, how was Elliott Andersons audition ?

 

[SamBlue]

Just finished watching it....

Now that's what I call a proper internet lag......

Hehe - Sky+ actually. Not planned, but one genuine benefit is that there's no match thread to succumb to...
