Manchester City - Nottingham Forest

Anybody watching the second half? :-(

Seriously considering turning off but will then probably just spend the next hour worrying about what the score might be.

We were never going to beat Man City, but let’s try and do something with the ball in the second half instead of giving it right back to them.

It's quite embarrassing how much better they are than us.

Why is it embarrassing?? Man City are one of the best teams about and this scoreline is what was expected. Of course they're better than us because over the last few seasons they have spent millions on the best players and don't forget we are in our first season back. Just as long we can beat the smaller teams things will be good ??

Obviously you're right, think you're gonna be fighting a losing battle tonight.

Better than being on here! 

Its just one game guys, against the best team in the World away. We've had worse, don't you remember when we were 4-0 at HT under Sabri?

Whay game was that again Wassy? Cant remember now.

Yes you’re right, I don’t want to see a humiliating 6-0 drubbing though. All the pundits will be saying “told you so”

[Plymouth red]

Let's not panic - we won't come up against a player like haaland often and we still need time to gel. Haaland, looks like the result of Soviet genetic engineering in a bid to create the perfect footballing specimen. And now he is surrounded by some of the best players with one of the best managers.

And yes we've spent 150 million but haaland himself is rated as being worth 150 million.

Hopefully we can go out and try to win the second half (or at least not lose it so badly)

Was it Sheffield wed?

Yeah think that was it, did finish 4-0 though so we drew the 2nd half

[Forest1970]

Good god why does everyone think we were going to finish in the top ten because of the money we spent. All I would say is its going to take time and the team will take time to gell. I'm pretty sure EM wasn't expecting immediate European qualifications but just stay in the premiership

[Paplane]

Lets not pretend we're 3-0 down because of Haaland. They're better than us in every single regard.

Sigh.

And the combined Value of this side is probably close to £1 billion so it probably goes to show. The difference is that in previous years, man City have not always had a finisher who was clinical enough to take the chances they created. Now they have it and it really is frightening to play against.

[Plymouth red]

This is a bit of a horror show now. This might make Bournemouth's result against Liverpool look good.
