We let ourselves down before this match. 3 draws from which 2 could have been easy wins.

Too easy a tactic for City to chip a ball in to Haaland and then have players picking up 2nd balls around him and either side of Partey. We need 2 CM in there to win those duels and 2nd balls because City go long. I think we should have known City would go more direct as they have done in both games we've played them this season


Exactly, Haaland holds the ball up and feeds De Bruyne, Gundogan and others who appear to have the freedom of the park. Where are our midfielders?

first clipped ball in the second half and Partey is much deeper, so we've got a man behind and a man in front and we win the ball. We should have done that much sooner. Sadly though you suspect City would then just use the space in front of them to pop it around

Depressing.

We needed 8 out of 10s from the players tonight. Some have barely produced a 2 out of 10.

Embarassing, weak mentality.

BHA losing 1-2 right now. We could qualify for ECL after today's games.

Forest 3-1 up now. At least we qualify for ECL tonight.

Pathetic. Could be six or seven down if not for Ramsdale. Wimpish stuff all over the pitch otherwise.

Nothing from the attaching players. When we had good positions, we coughed it up.

To be fair we haven't been able to string two passes together to actually get the ball to Saka and Martinelli.

Terrible performance.

Only Ramsdale comes out with any credit.

People will point to last ditch challenges but those have only been necessary due to poor defending in the first place.

Swear down if they wriggle out of all these *%^@*** premier league charges then football is rotten.
We have been brilliant this season but painfully second best tonight.
These premier league charges against City.
When are the premier league going to show their teeth or as expected city hire the finest lawyers.
Absolute *%^@ this football club.

All our attacks involve an unpicking of the lock , multiple backwards sideways dinks to score ; we have no Route One option , City can pump a ball forward , lay off or turn and they are in on goal .

I honestly think we need a change of mindset still far too much playing the obvious ball , Ødegaard should have been looking forward not playing some little dink backwards

City have a monster Kiwi.

He's been unplayable tonight although the fact that we havn't turned up tonight has hardly helped.

Absolutely, are they just going to let City go on winning trophies until the case finally gets heard in a couple of years?

It's embarassing for the PL. What will they do if they are found guilty, take away their titles?

So if Rodri tries to take a tactical yellow card by fouling Nelson, but Nelson rides the tackle and the ref plays advantage why can't he come back and book the player for the intended foul?

If it was Spurs challenging for the title, I think they would put more impetus on the charges. I always felt Spurs is favoured by the FA and we are not.

When you've taken 41 league points from the last 45 available against Arsenal, that's completely understandable. Arsenal have taken two from 45 against those c***s. That's shocking.

Rodri finally gets his yellow card - and kicks the ball away for good measure. Isnt Michael Oliver the ref who gave Martinelli those two yellows..... :42laughter:

Never a contest. Sadly.

At no point did we look we thought we could win this.

No one even got near Haaland or De Bruyne tonight.

Id go further that we needed 10/10 performances. You have to be virtually perfect - we're bashing this team for not being perfect.

Disappointment is fine but perspective is needed on the season
