The Footie Thread

Ah well. Thought for a while in the second half we were gonna get an equaliser but wasn’t to be. Wasn’t expecting anything from the game but glad we gave a good account of ourselves.

Even if you don’t like City, you’ve got to admire them. Absolutely relentless in and out of possession.

Spurs have yet to address the problem of teams putting a man obstructing Vicario on corners stopping him from coming out and dominating his box.

He’s been very good this season but it’s a weakness in his game and it looked chaotic when defenders were all over the place trying to stop Arsenal players from getting near him.

To be fair to Grealish, he spent the second half on the bench with a huge pack of ice on his knee. Presumably one of those kicks / rolls was genuine.

Think he got a knee to knee clash with a Forest player in fairness (Boly…?)

Boly is a unit though to be fair, both a Grealish and Ederson got on the tough end of 50/50s

Thought City were rubbish til they went 2-0 up. How Forest are down there is beyond me.

100%. No foul, rightly, but a painful one - almost dead leg territory.

I said after about 20 mins - the pitch is dry and bobbly. I also said bring Doku off. I could be a manager

Tricky afternoon in the household as David is a lifelong Forest fan. I did say if Spurs had done the decent thing then...but they didn't!!

I think spurs fans will be the first to remind you that you cant depend on spurs for anything except letting you down.

Doku set my tyrets off today. I was not good company. I thought Forest did very well today. Deffo need a good striker and that’s mid table sorted.

Because we’ll play like that, then go to Bramhall Lane next week and they’ll play like they’ve never met each other

Weird that we could have easily won that 4-2 today if Chris Wood hadn’t had City to win in his acca


Just praying to all the gods that Neco and Murillo aren’t done for the season.

We got roasted on our right. Doku, Walker and Akanji all right off the mark for me so something had to change. Walker was playing crazy narrow and wandering into CB territory all match. Weird. I did wonder if Foden's illness meant there was a bug in the camp as energy levels looked awful - although Forest worked like dogs to win the ball all match.

He also got shoved just before the goal.

Surprising to see Nottingham Forest where they are in the league going by this performance.

Someone on Twitter did a super cut of all the reasons we are where we are. There’s about 18 or 19 of them. But I’m not opening up that can of worms.

 

[Tashyboy]

Ederson left the city ground with his arm in a sling. Grealish has not seen that much ice since he got bladdered on Citys bus tour end of last season.

Cannot believe how many times Doku gave the ball away, apart from exposing Walker who had a word with him. It was a scruffy display.

Have to give Arsenal credit for the way they've bounced back from the shocking defeats to Villa and Bayern. It could've easily knocked the stuffing out of them but they've responded really well with three big wins.

White was also pulling the Velcro on his gloves. is that a foul ???

This shows imo why refs are getting stick.
Rice volleys a spurs player in the Crown Jewels Oliver is 10ft away looking right at it gives nothing.
He has to be told by VAR that that’s not allowed and should be a penalty.
How the hell has he missed that.?

Yes I noticed that, White shoved him then moved away quick, Vicario needs to be more aggressive and don’t let players bully him.

Keepers cant be more aggressive like the way attackers can bully keepers.

What’s this melt on about? literally rained constantly for the 12 hours before kick off
