***City vs Forest*** Official Match Thread***

[Michigan Blue]

Unbelievable that this Forest side are in the PL, let alone have a chance of surviving. Sickening we gave them a helping hand in that today.

12-0 on aggregate would not have flattered us across the two fixtures. Awful team.

I've felt better whe we have been absolutely battered in the past. Knowing the talent we have and our ability, this result just makes me feel worse

[Harry Dowd scored]

Pep just said on R5 he could not see the equaliser coming. He must be the only guy in the country with that opinion.

[gmercer1]

Now for the Dippers and Rags to make the weekend even worse.
Rags will be 3 points behind us! 3 points!

I've just arrived at my inlaws in Galicia and tuning into this thread.
Judging by the last couple of message, don't think I will bother with the rest. Roll on Wednesday

Awful feeling in the pit of my stomach they might fluke the title

Best thing to do is crack open a Estrella and enjoy.

After watching them today , I agree

[Original Dub]

Missed chances and bad officiating.

If both were even 50pc of what they should be, this would have been a walkover.

It's not lack of subs that lost this game, that's absolutely for sure.

That's what is scaring me more than anything.

Not because they're better (not by a long stretch), but it's exactly what the Premier league want.

PS It's also a fact that the Premier League hate us.

PPS The Premier league control the officiating

[gmercer1]

Just look at 2 decisions today. First few minutes Laporte dragged down by his arm definite penalty morning.
Then Haaland grabbed in the shoulder when clean through definite red card….nothing.

It really is every single game though now.

Of course we could and should have played better, missed chances etc, but there's no doubt we're being heavily punished by officials, particularly since the return after the world cup.

It's amazingly blatant

We should have won at a canter for sure but for pep to not make any subs till 3 minutes from the fucking end was just typical of him , especially as KDB was having his worst game EVER for us .

It’s beyond comprehension how this manager ,who bitched and whined for the prem to change to 5 subs , has such a shit record of using his subs to change a game .

Seriously , he’s fucking shit at it .

[london blue 2]

I know you’re pissed Carl but this one is one the players. Peps team and tactics were enough to win three games (the sub thing annoyed me but is not the reason, same as the ref). Haaland, foden, Grealish and KdB dropped disaster classes in front of goal. Pretty fucking embarrassing tbh.

It just adds fuel though doesn’t it .
Repeat - KDB had his worse game for us and pep kept him on the pitch .

I’m worried that Alvarez will want out as his game time has become embarrassing - how the fuck is he supposed to get into a rhythm when he’s hardly used ?

Fucked off big time .

It's two different arguments though Carl.

The argument of whether pep can use subs properly and the argument over why we most likely didn't win this game.

I just think the easiest things in the world for fans like us to do is scream for change during a game.

We should have won this game by three clear goals at least, based on chances and general play.

That doesn't scream that change was needed.

[Outcast]

I'm not blaming Pep for this one. Fucking foden had golden chance to square it or finish it off himself and Halland shit show finishing. The only thing Pep could have done is maybe shore up defence by bringing on Ake earlier.

Or having him on from the start in a settled back line?

This persistence with a back three is not going to end with us receiving silverware. We will get found out in the CL and it is already costing us in the PL.

Sometimes the wheel turns round of its own accord and doesn’t need redesigning

[Mase]

Going forward, when we release the lineup if it’s a back 3 I’m not going to bother. I’d rather play with my kids or spend time with mates than ruin my weekend because of that stubborn twat.
