    Agreed. Nice work from Ederson to keep it alive ;)

    Not to take anything away from another fantastic win, but City are a shadow of the side they were. Those last few minutes were always going to be tense but they never really looked like opening us up.

    It's such a strange feeling being a Forest fan at the moment - but fucking awesome.

    The pass from Morgan must have had de Bruyne standing there thinking "I used to be able to do things like that". Absolutely wonderful.

    Magnificent performance all round. Made Haaland and Marmoush look like Championship players. Perfect subs at the perfect time. Hard to pick a MOTM when everyone played so well, but extra special mentions for MGW, Murillo, Elanga, CHO, and if I had to pick one above all others, Dominguez.

    I am eating big humble pie on CHO, and happy to do so. He's really kicked on from being the one trick pony - given how much Tuchel has been watching us recently, I wonder if he gets a consideration for an Englad squad in the near future.

    From the current form of english number 10's, you'd have the think MGW is a certain starter....his confidence on the ball, range of passing, and goal involvements, have all gone up a level. Pretty much as most of us expected.

    I hear Tuchel really doesn't like him and there's no chance of an England call up. Shame for him really. He's as good as any right now

    Watching the tv coverage before we go out. Paul Hart doesn’t seem so sharp nowadays. Hopefully just a bit of noise and couldn’t hear.

    He looked to be on a different level to Foden today.

    One point of interest today is that we spent most of the game overloading the left wing, with Elanga and CHO both on that side and then scored from the right.

    Yes: Today's plan.

    @tricky has written:

    Quite clear our plan is to attack with density of numbers down our left side, to free wood and our right side for one on ones. We are going that way whenever we can.

    Shape changed after Elanga went off though and we tried something different - not nearly as much focus on the left. (Although we were mostly hanging on and defending.)

    Still worked the ball in traffic down the left, and made the one on one with the top class switch.

    Maybe it was felt that Nunes was a weaker full back than Gvardiol.

    Had TAA/Cole Palmer/KDB played that ball, the collective jerking off from football pundits would result in a national shortage of Kleenex.
