City v Forest - Match Thread

I thought we played well against Ipswich. According to Birtles going to a back three meant even more doom-mongering than normal, but as soon as we went to a back three I thought the points were ours. Great to get into the back six before the tough Christmas run-in.


Ipswich:

The Good: Just a solid all-round performance.

Bad: Nothing of note. 




The Ugly: Lots of fouls by Ipswich which seemed to go unpunished. Not sure if we should have had more penalties...but then again VAR is only there to correct mistakes, not make the referee look bad. 




Special Mention(s): What a penalty!! 










The Last Time we played City @ (H) L2-0 Gvardiol and Haaland for them.

The 4 man midfield block formation vs Liverpool is my theory.

Subs: Miguel, Morato, Moreno, Moreira, JWP, Elanga, Silva, Sosa, Awoniyi





Injuries: Danilo & Sangare
Not selected: Boly, Omobamidele, Toffolo










League Form:
City - the last six:

W2-1 @ Wolves
W1-0 vs Southampton
L2-1 @ Bournemouth
L2-1 @ Brighton
L4-0 vs Spurs

L2-0 @ Liverpool

Hopefully Pep doesn't figure out how to win without Rodri on Wednesday. They have one draw out of their last seven games in all competitions. 








Prediction:



Is it the loss of one player, or is the impending doom of a massive points deduction? Whatever it is, Pep can't stop scratching himself and City's season lurches from bad to worse.

They still have quality throughout the side and Doku could be back...the one who ran us ragged when we lost to Rennes 5-0 all those years ago!

Keep it tight, frustrate them and try to nick it with our late subs. 








2-1 to Forest


Final Words: 





We'll never have a better chance to beat City.

COYRs!!!!
