New #TalkingCity podcast on the shambles at Forest and what it all does and doesn’t mean

P10 W7 L3 is about what was expected of this Maresca #mancity team. Repeat it all season and they’ll get 80 points - two more than Guardiola got last season. They may not of course, and have significant issues to solve, but the furious panic they won’t win another game seems OTT
Maresca says #mancity weren't good enough and lacked intensity to match Forest in duels and second balls. Asked if the midfield was too open, he said: "No, you concede transitions when you lose the ball like the first goal and you concede transitions when you don't win duels."
Title challengers are allowed off days. They're not allowed to regularly concede embarrassing goals and be so careless on the ball. Too flat from #mancity for too long again to make for a gloomy two weeks for them until they play again

Ratings from the worst #mancity performance of the Maresca era - more stupid errors costing goals and unserious all over the pitch manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
In their last four starts together, one of Marc Guehi and Ruben Dias have been taken off at half-time in three of them. 0-3 vs PSG, 0-1 vs Villa, and now 0-2 vs Forest
Forest all over City as McAtee skies from a good position. This feels so far a lot like the Leicester away 'What is tackles' game from Guardiola's first season
Manchester City conceded in the sixth minute against Villa, the 11th minute against Brighton, and now the sixth minute against Forest. None of them were against the run of play
Three changes for #mancity from the win over Leipzig
🟢Dias, Gvardiol, Doku
❌Nunes, O'Reilly, Foden
CITY: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernandez, Cherki, Ndiaye, Doku, Haaland
City squad have arrived, no place for Ait-Nouri again manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

It looked like Jeremy Doku was going to be unbeatable when he tore Liverpool to shreds at Anfield last month, but it has been Iliman Ndiaye since who is delivering the numbers #mancity need manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
You know this #mancity team aren't quite functioning when their robot is offside.
Issues with defence, midfield and attack...but on course for #championsleague top eight!
