A lack of chemistry so far, but look at bit more solid at the back.

We've had control of the game but our final ball and shooting has been very lacking.

Decent first half

We look more settled for a change

Underwhelmed by that performance. Just not creating enough chances.

As for their goal an Ederson error, yet again.

Oh Eddie...


Could have played all night and wouldn't have scored

An absolutely abysmal second half performance. Disgraceful. We didn't create nearly enough to deserve to score and the shooting is woeful when we do get around the box. Wretched stuff. I wouldn't pay them in buttons.

Eddie made a very good save but then beaten on his near post.

Really poor result. Makes 4 place even harder now. Not sure we deserve top 4 his season.

This pathetic performance came after the players had a good long rest and a week of practice.

No excuses.

The players appear to be coasting, and the ones that aren't coasting are in poor form. Not a good combination.

Really big changes needed this summer. We're really quite poor.

difficult afternoon with big Haaland hanging round like a doorman

A doorman who disappears when you need him. Even when the ball goes in the box, he is nowhere.

It was a beautiful day in Manchester and then City played.

He definitely was nowhere to be seen at Forest

15 defeats in the last 30 games......

At no point this season have we started to look like we're improving.

Serious questions need to be asked.

That's not true. Newcastle we looked good.

The difference was Omar and Foden.

I don't know why we're asking foden to play up front. He was too high to affect the game.
Then when Nico came off and the gaps appeared, he started to get more involved and we took him off.

We're very static.

I don't blame Haaland. We're not giving him anything to work with

I'd very challenge the performance of one game. Agree we looked great in the Newcastle game but overall we have not looked like improving in the season and 15 defeats in 30 games is the proof.

Foden has been shite this season
Haaland needs fed like the goat which he is not at present

I think it's more than 1 game

1st leg we played really well against Real Madrid... until the madness.

Liverpool i thought we played well too.

Chelsea. Newcastle. Spurs.

We just don't seem to be able to stay focused and close out games.

What gets me is not the goal that we conceded but how utterly toothless we looked in that second half. We were completely lacking inspiration.

 Khusanov looks like a great signing
