Chelsea game devoid of any quality so far, West Ham offering nothing going forward and Chelsea struggling to break them down.

When we are missing 2 out of 3 defenders so having to play 3 at back and then missing paquata, fulkerg and Summerville from the front line it's no surprise

Add Ferguson and JWP unable to play ATM due to not signing in time

Alvarez picked up a knock aswell so we having to play Irving who isn't premier league standard

Id say considering that it's not been awful . We have had the more shots on target lol

Think City are around the £200m mark for transfer fees spent this window now?

What a guy Pep is. Has a bad run and the only assistance he gets is 200 million quid to spend. How he’s able to operate on such a shoestring budget I can’t fathom. Best manager in the world!

Well we agree on one thing he is a genius. The amount of trophies he has won over the last five years with a net spend.

In that time City have been champions four times and until this window Forest were £55 million behind Citys net spend.

Arsenal above Chelsea in five-year Premier League net spend table

Forget the league table, it's all about the Premier League net spend table. And Chelsea have been unseated at last...

Why just 5 years

Hasn’t he been manager since 2016 ?

Did the years from 2016 until 2020 not exist

And he has spent close to £1.6bn on players - net spend around £700-800mil

Guess we don't go far enough back in var anymore for fouls in the build up

Chelsea were so rattled aswell

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Heck of a deflection there - not much can do about that

Interesting to know why they didn’t pull up Colwill on the foul for the first goal - all still in the same phase ?

Yeah it’s a strange one isn’t it?

To this day, Forest STILL get pelters from other fans and pundits for having the temerity to spend £150m building an entire squad during the summer leading up to our return to the Prem, in order to give ourselves the chance of survival.

But City drop over £200m in a single month on 3-4 players to add to their squad which is already worth fifty squillion oil-pounds, and the figures barely get a mention.

Still, it’s a level playing field for all isn’t it?!

Just waiting for Chelsea to get me through last man standing

Feel hard done by, definite foul in the build up to their first goal and a lucky deflection for their winner…

Still an improvement, and very happy with the Potter era so far.

The foul was definitely in the same phase but they didn’t seem to go back to it

The turnover of the ball is so much faster (which is what our players are build for) none of that slow build up rubbish which we haven't got the players or the time on the ball for

Only thing about the foul that can be said is if the ref said he saw it and he didn't deem it a foul but then it was offside... The attacker touched that. Thought they had the cricket sound sensors these days?

Anyways still more positives about our game itself

Ferguson to return

Summerville to return

JWP to get a game again

Not afraid to use youth players

Very happy with potter

That’s what I thought but since I hate VAR I won’t be a hypocrite and start championing it.
