That was rank. Pundits barely had a chance to talk through the goals.

I said earlier but that to have been an instruction from Eddie, right? Reserve energy, control the game? Except the players took the 'reserve energy' too literally, and everyone stopped running, and chasing and just let Forest find their feet. Games like today are why I still feel nervous when we have a strong lead.

Fuck me that was hurried.

We just gift easy goals. Can't carry two nervy, underperforming centrebacks in one game. Pope didn't help.

What on earth was that second half how does that even happen?

Blame the crowd for singing.

Yep, Burn and Schar have been the pits at times. Free space in the middle again.

Tonali sorts it out. Schar gives it away.

I often wonder if a mangers instruction to 'reserve energy' is taken too litterely by players. Feels like this has been the instruction. And then that happens.

Weird performance this half. Like someones turned the skill sliders down on our players.

Thought that should have gone our way.

Can we not.

7?

Sticks his arm out.

What a gift their goal was man, ffs. Should be 0-0.

We have to be one of the best sides that just gift goals.

Can’t believe there wasn’t a better angle. Having said that, you’re being tugged backwards, Young, physics say you should have fallen down, not fucking fly forwards 😂

Just the one.

Still not over that City performance. We were like a championship side playing them in a cup. Far too much respect given.

We played with an aging, out of form 34 year old at right back. An underperforming Willock in midfield. And a goal keeper that was hanging up his gloves for us a few games ago. Add to that an out of form Fabian Schar at CB, and you quickly can see what Howe is working with. We're a fragile team, always have been. Everyone performing to their expected ability, or above (for some) and it's golden. But any slight wobble in one or more of our fringe players and things go south pretty quickly. Doing an outstanding job given what he's working with.

Was really bad. You can't give a team like City confidence to their football.

Yup, that's going off.

Eddie seems to have sent us out with the mentality of playing against the 22-23 Manchester City. What a waste of an opportunity.

Been set up all wrong for this. Fucked it.
