Manchester City - Nottingham Forest

[DeesideRed]

We've had two good chances to pull level and start the second half as a different game. More than previous visits to city.

Honestly the odds of City not making a statement against us tonight were huge. They had their best creative player back starting the same as when we played Arsenal.

Opta predicted us with a 14% chance of a win which is the lowest of this weeks fixtures 1% less than Southampton. 

This is a S**t run of fixtures and we just need to stay grounded.

Got to remember Arsenal had Odergaard back too. Both are huge for their respective clubs

Pretty unlucky we played Arsenal and City just after they got their playmakers back.

Ronaldo could possibly make their squad even now. Rooney.....not so much.

“We didn’t expect Nottingham to go man for man. They were going with Nathan Ake so it meant that we had to get Ruben to carry the ball into midfield a little bit.
“It surprised us though, we struggled for a period in the first half after our good start.”

This is what De Bruyne said about us after the game.

I think we do Ok especially Man for Man - just a few sloppy mistakes which cost us. Poor finishing also.

I think the idea to go man to man was a good one, but our players clearly weren’t used to it and we made simple errors. It was worth a try against a team with quality in every position though
