Bad timing lol

If we win you can call it whatever you like!

Thoroughly average performance from the refs again but by God we deserved that for nothing other than their ridiculous ability to lie down at every opportunity.

Carvalho and Elliott are both going to be top top players. What a finish from Fabio and Harvey MOTM for me.

Isak is going to be a heck of an addition to the PL. Wonderful forward.
 
This season is over
Reason
Haaland

That city side was already the best in the world. Adding Haaland has basically just given them cheat codes. Ridiculous. Best side I’ve seen in over 25 years probably.

I didn’t expect much from tonight, but City are relentless. Made it look like we weren’t even trying, which I don’t think is the case at all.

Glad it’s out the way early in the season ?
 
Some brilliant football tonight.

Arsenal in the first half were as good as I've seen them for years. Pace, intensity, pressing and superb football. The only downside was the lack of end product infront of goal, should've easily been 4-0 up. I still question their ability to finish Top 4 based on that and one bad injury to Jesus.

City v Forest was like a training match, men against boys. Haaland was fouled badly for his first but was so powerful he simply shrugged it off. What a beast.

Liverpool lacked quality and looked really poor going forward but they kept on and totally deserved the winner for all the disgraceful time wasting from Newcastle. Under no circumstances should the game be stopped for cramp, it's not an injury just a lack of fitness. Newcastle had numerous players down for it from 65 mins onwards. Credit to the ref for adding the time on at the end of injury time for more time wasting! Huge win for Liverpool with key attackers missing.

I thought that was as good as I have seen City play in a good couple of seasons, they were relentless. I am not to sure which Haaland goal it was, but once more a defender switched off like they did with Kane at the weekend. Unfortunately at this level those mistakes cost. Listening to the Forest manager he was straight talking I. The sense this one game will not define Forest. They have six game coming up and more than capable of winning a fair few of them.

Our defence isn’t up to par, and expect a few last minute signings to bolster it. It’s been the weak point in the first five weeks. Probably partly getting used to the pace of the league and partly just not good enough. Once Niakhaté is back from injury it should help, but as you say, mistakes like that are punished in this league; especially against a team as clinical as City.
Not overly concerned after this evening but if Bournemouth somehow do the same on Saturday, then it’ll be time to start worrying!
