City were a little fortunate to win, yesterday, and Nottingham Forest exposed us a little with their tactical plan, and with the athleticism of their players, just as they did in the last fixture. Kyle Walker, as he has recently, was full of errors and was exposed. It was partly him, and partly Jeremy Doku, who hasn't yet developed the sense of defensive responsibility that will come with time (I hope). Conversely, the left side of our defence gave very little to Forest, with Gvardiol the standout, aided by the solid and consistent Nathan Ake, and Jack Grealish, who does so much good work for the team.
The commentary on the game was absolutely dreadful - at one point I thought the commentator may have been having some kind of breakdown as he referred to the team in blue dominating the ball (we were wearing white), and consistently gave the wrong player names, mixing DeBruyne and Grealish, Rodri and Gvardiol, and others. He was really bad. He also said that City only had the Premier League to play for (wrong) and chose DeBruyne as Man of the Match when he was well below par.
Guardiola has chosen the same players for several weeks now and several look very, very tired. DeBruyne and Bernardo Silva looked weary as hell, and Walker was mentally all over the place. Credit to Nottingham Forest too and it is difficult to see how they are in the position that they are when they can deliver what they delivered yesterday.
