PEP now has to finally ax 5/10 Man City Star

Manchester City Falling a disappointing 1-0 defeat in Nottingham Forest’s hands on the city ground, in a key game in the Champions League qualification race.

Pep GuardiolaThe side was made to work hard against a well -drilled forest side, which eventually managed to break the stack and earn all three points.

City had its chances throughout the game, and actually managed 14 shots, According to Sofascore. However, there were only three on the target for visitors, and the highest expected goals came from Phil Foden, a total of 0.16xg.

The forest approached the scoring only past times. Callum Hudson-Odoi climbed a shot in the city goal, cutting down on his right leg. However, Brazilian goalkeeper Eerson pulled out great savings, dived low on the left and overturned the ball to the post to keep the city at a level.

However, with the remaining seven minutes of normal time, Hudson-Odoi broke the downtime. The former Chelsea striker got the end of a lovely ball from Morgan Gibbs-WhiteBefore driving to Josko Guardiol and let go. This time Epson couldn’t save, letting the ball nearby.

There was one player on the field, Gibbs-White, who was prominent, and City struggled to deal with him.

Performance Gibbs-White Vs.

When a player like Gibbs-White on the song, it’s hard to stop him. Well, the city has certainly discovered it today. He was everywhere, orchestrate the attacks on his side and, of course, he created a chance from which Hudson-Odoi achieved.

Speaking about the passage, what was the ball from the forest captain. He lifted the ball in his half and, under low pressure, managed to choose a perfectly weighted passage that was fastened with the easily demolished of Hudson-Odoi, which remained the rest.

City struggled to keep him silent for most of the game. Allowing the player of that qualities so much time on the ball to choose such a pass that is far from the ideal for Guardiola’s side and probably costs three points.

It was a great performance by Gibbs-White against the ruling Premier League champions. Frustrating, one of their midfielders struggled to have the same impact on the game.

The city star that fought the forest

It was a disappointing day for the city as a whole, given the result, and one of their players fought at the center of the park. It was a difficult day in the office for one of the more experienced city players, Bernardo Silva.

The Portuguese internationaler got a a 5/10 rating after the match From Simon Bajkowski, Manchester City writer for Manchester Evening News. He said that the midfielder looked like he could take advantage of the holidays “and criticized him for the fact that” the city attacks had broken too many times in front of his feet “, which is unlike him.

Compared to Gibbs-White and Bernard statistics, there are really not too many differences. The city number 20 had 56 touches and completed 84% of passes, while the forest man had 52 touches and completed 90% of passes. Bernardo created two chances and England International.

However, statistics do not always paint the whole picture, in the end Gibbs-White received key aid. It must have been the day Bernardo, who lost the ball nine times, surpassed his opposite number.

With a game against Brighton and Hoveo Albion next Saturday, it may be a game where Guardiola decides to rotate Bernard on the side. He invested a disappointing performance against Forest, as Bajkowski suggested, he looked tired.

It will certainly be a big calling of the legendary city manager, who has so often relied on Bernard over the years. However, it may need rest and rotation to help him find his best form.
