It's hard to say that if onana performs quite well in that game. Even though he has been making some impotant saves but that can't be used to deny the fact that if onana's fault when he slapped burnley's player cost club two points, right?

Since the referee was not declaring it as a handball. There's nothing united players could do.

This is the kind of performance we have come to expect from Manchester City players. City players performed well and won the match 2-0. The first goal was scored by defender Gvardiol and the second goal was scored by Haaland.



However, in today's home match, Nottingham Forest's players have managed to perform well. Nottingham Forest players did not play defensively in the home match. Despite having only 33% of the ball possession, Nottingham Forest's players did a lot of attacking in this match. A total of 14 shots were made by the players of Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, Manchester City players made 11 shots. Although City's players attacked relatively less, City's every attack was strong. Nottingham Forest's players would have conceded a few more goals in this match if Nottingham's defenders and goalkeepers had not performed well.

Manchester City underrated this match, they did not played with their full squad thinking of their next Premier League match against Wolves because they are expecting the match to be a tough one because Wolves defeated Manchester City in their first leg match.
Pep started the match with Grealish and benched Foden, and he also benched Haaland until second half when he sees too much pressure coming from the Nottingham forest side.

As expected, Manchester City is winning the match 2-0 and they will definitely win the match, but with such performance they displayed, if they keep it up like this, they might drop points in their next match against Wolves or West Ham or even against Tottenham; this means that, if Arsenal keep winning their matches, they can end up victorious.

After a hectic period of back to back games, it's expected that Manchester City players will suffer fatigue so I'm not surprised that they're are not as smart and fast as they used be. Manchester City even in their fatigue state has been the best team in the game and just few minutes ago, Erling Haaland added another goal to extend Manchester City's lead in the game.
Nottingham Forest is doing their best as an average English Premier League club but they just can't match the strength of their visitors. If Manchester City goes on to win the game which I think is definitely going to happen, they'll reduce their points difference behind current league leaders Arsenal to just one point. The reigning English Premier League champions have been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League so they're doing everything possible to make sure they retain the English Premier League title.

You are right, anything is still very possible because there is a lot of time left in the second half. But Pep Guardiola rotated several players in the second half, including replacing Ederson and Doku and bringing on Kovacic and Ortega. Haaland came on to replace Jack Grealish, now Haaland has scored a goal for Manchester City's 0-2 lead.

Nottingham put pressure on Manchester City's defense at the start of the second half, but Pep Guardiola began to anticipate this with a change in strategy. Haaland's entry has made a lot of difference, he is a striker who has really helped Manchester City with his current score of 21 goals. Haaland leads the top scorer standings, previously Cole Palmer was at the top with 20 goals.

Manchester City has been surprised with the performance of Nottingham Forest in this match  because this performance is above expectations, I believe the motivation and their strength in trying to stop City in this game is coming base on the fact that, Nottingham Forest is doing their best not to slide down to the relegation zone, But Manchester City we know isn't a club that plays with opportunity, especially when the league is at the point of completion and now has finally shown their superiority over their host team Nottingham and has sealed this game with 2 goals.

The second half is still long and the score is still 0-1 for Man City, but everything could change and even Nottingham could equalize the score in the second half, nothing is impossible even though Man City dominated the game in the first half, most likely Nottingham can reverse this in the second half. I hope that in the second half, Nottingham can provide fierce resistance in stopping Man City from winning the title this season with Arsenal.

I'm not seeing any spectacular about Manchester City performance today, they are playing as if they are fatigued. If they continue this way, Nottingham Forest will get an equalizer and put them in tight corner as regards the trophy. Now I see why the bookies gave the match over 2.5 goal as big as 1.56 odds whereas Bournemouth against Brighton the same option was given 1.44 odds. I guess I fell for trap of thinking that Manchester City will score many goals today, the reason I played them on goals. If Manchester City cannot score more goals then it will be my please to see Nottingham Forest score to make the league interesting.

This match should not be a difficult match for a giant club like Man City. Because Nottingham is not as strong as Arsenal or other strong teams that are comparable to Man City. So I think Man City will even score another goal or add another goal in the second half which is currently underway. But so far, Nottingham as the host has not been that disappointing. They put up quite a good fight even though they defended more.

Man City has no choice but to win if they want to keep fighting for the title. Because if Man City loses just once then Arsenal will immediately have the biggest chance of winning this title.

I wouldn't say Manchester City could win this match easily, in fact they really had difficulty holding back the onslaught of attacks built by Nottingham Forest in the second half. Nottingham created several good chances in the second half and they really put Manchester City under high pressure. If Manchester City are careless in defense, then I am sure that Nottingham will get the goals they are looking for in this match.

Nottingham Forest is well motivated to get a win in their home match because they hope to stay in the Premier League next season. They are too close to the relegation zone, but Nottingham still has the opportunity to widen the gap if they are able to achieve several wins in the remaining matches this season. The probability of Manchester City winning is very high, but they would be safer if they scored one additional goal in the second half.

Half time and one nil for city vs forest.
It should be noted that if one goal is scored by Gvardiol, he is capable of doing so through his header. The situation may differ in the second half. Pep is once again making minor changes. He designates Doku as the right wing. He rotates his player. I believe Pep may start Haland in the second half.
I'm not sure what Pep's main motivation is, but I didn't expect Manchester City to use their entire squad against Forest. I understand that Pep tries to minimize the risk of injury to his players, but this is also an important match.

Foden is missing from the lineup and i think he has a problem with himself, and I believe he may have sustained a minor injury. Foden will comeback later. but I am hopeful that he will be able to return soon. City must have won this game, or it will face disaster caused by arsenal is always winning the game. This is the race between city and arsenal. Nottingham Forest always plays defensively against Manchester City.
Gvardiol's goal could be the best opportunity for City to put pressure on Arsenal and city must get three points from forest at this time.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest

Currently, the halftime break is going on. And Manchester City is ahead in the match by 1-0. I think we expect Manchester City to easily win this match as they are going up against a team that is trying to somehow avoid relegation. At the same time, Manchester City is chasing the English Premier League title. So if there is any result other than three points for Manchester city it is going to be a big surprise for everyone. Manchester City has a great chance to win the English Premier League title even though the competition is really high. Maybe we can say that Liverpool has fallen off a little bit. But Arsenal is still very much in the title race. Well, Liverpool is also still in the race but the recent performance has not been great from them. Any result other than a win for Manchester City is going to jeopardize the title race for them. So Manchester City should aim for nothing but a win. There is also no excuse for Manchester City as they are not taking part in the champions league competition anymore.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I am happy with the consistent victory of Mikel Arteta's squad in the match against Spurs. even though in reality, Ange Postecoglou's squad had more control over the match. three goals at the start of the first half, really made Arteta happy with his expression. unfortunately, for the umpteenth time David Raya made a blunder which caused Romero to reduce the score. an additional goal scored by Son from the penalty spot further reduced the position. fortunately, this match ended with Arsenal winning the North London Derby duel. In this match, several Arsenal players underperformed, such as Tomiyasu and several other defenders. apart from that, Odegaard is not playing as usual. however, for the other players, their performance was quite good, especially Kai Harvertz who scored one goal and one assist. plus, the long pass that Harvertz aimed at Xaka was put to good use and converted into a counter-attack goal. So, Arsenal's position at the top of the standings is temporarily unshakeable.

In other matches, the Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City battle is underway. position when City was leading 0-1. In the second half City should have been able to increase their lead. But who knows, maybe the home team will be able to balance this match in the second half and equalize. well, let's wait until the City and Forest match ends.

You are right, I have never seen them be a team that fails when under pressure, Pep Guardiola has succeeded in bringing his squad under a lot of pressure so this is what will happen this season.
Currently, they are 1-0 ahead of Nottingham Forest, not a safe score because there are still 45 minutes left where the result of the match can change, but seeing Arsenal win against Tottenham will give City alertness to play as hard as possible to secure the three points, and in the middle Sunday against Chelsea, Manchester City will ensure that the top position is theirs until the end of the season.
In the second half, Manchester City will usually play better and score several additional goals, apart from in the FA Cup and other competitions, City has scored more than three goals in each match in the last four matches in the English Premier League and seeing that Nottingham is a weak defensive team, City has the opportunity to score more than three goals is very likely.

Yes indeed, Brighton have been playing very poorly lately because afterall, in Brighton's last six matches Brighton have not won. Perhaps, Brighton really experienced such great fatigue after being eliminated in the Europa League but perhaps, it also did not have a bigimpact. But in fact, this decline in Brighton's performance occurred when Brighton's elimination from the Europa League or perhaps, Brighton basically experienced a decline in performance this season. So yes, with the decline in performance that Brighton has experienced this season, making Brighton an unstable team and Brighton is also only a team that is in the middle of the table at the moment.

Well it hasn't been so easy for Manchester City so far at the City ground. Well they are leading with 0:1 at halftime, but it is Nottingham Forest who have gotten lots of chances compared to Manchester City. City has been dominant in the first half but they are playing as it they don't have that spark that we usually see at this Manchester City side. The coach has to device another means to contain this Nottingham Forest side in the second half, he has to because if things keeps going the way it is, Nottingham Forest might score back that goal. Nottingham Forest are really showing a great fighting spirit if they can convert most of their chance, certainly they are going to score goals.

Liverpool's current performance is like looking at Arsenal's performance last season but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Arsenal will also overtake Liverpool in the EPL title race because I'm still a bit skeptical about Arsenal's performance towards the end of their match against Tottenham Hotspur, which is quite a difficult match for Arsenal, who knows, Arsenal will lose again. points in the match later, making Man City feel fortunate to become defending champions again this season. There is no EPL club that can survive until the end except Man City in the last few seasons.

It's quite sad to see that the top 2 clubs couldn't beat Man City in any case, none of them qualified for the semi-finals and they tried to perform well in the EPL by putting pressure on each other but Liverpool and Arsenal couldn't last longer and coincidentally they had a similar match. It's quite difficult in the EPL compared to Man City.

Manchester City have scored a goal this time and as usual they are the team that dominates the game. So far Manchester City has managed to win the first half with a score of 0-1 over Nottingham, but what is certain is that they have to work extra hard to score more goals in the second half considering that Arsenal also managed to get full points today.

Arsenal's win in the away match against Tottenham should motivate Manchester City to win the match against Nottingham. Manchester City must ensure they continue to get full points in each remaining match because only then can they defend their title this season. The good thing is, Manchester City is leading today's match against Nottingham, but they have to be careful because Nottingham can also threaten with their fast attacks.

I agree that Tottenham wished they had played confidently right from the beginning and not the tail end of the game but the thing with them is they don't really know how to take games serious. This is a derby and in the first leg, the Gunners played out a 2-2 draw. They didn't get a win but this should tell them something about how Arsenal knows how to prey on a weak defense and that's what Tottenham Hotspur defense was; weak.
 Bukayo Saka has become to the first English player to score home and away in a derby and I'd tell you for free, at this spate of confidence the Gunners are displaying, Tottenham Hotspur are no match for them.
Arteta really needs to work on David Raya though because I feel the more he keeps making such sloppy mistakes, it will be difficult to maintain clean sheets. With how they played from the first half, you could tell they were on their way to keeping their third clean sheet, and it would have been quite embarrassing had Spurs leveled the scores.

Manchester City is playing with a club that is not strong and I am also expecting Manchester City to win. First half is almost gone and Manchester City is winning with 1 goal already scored by J. Gvardiol with the assist of K. De Bruyne. We are still expecting more goals. By the way, Arsenal has already won Tottenham which we know it is going to be a tough match but Arsenal trashed Tottenham 3 goals in the first half but Tottenham was not able to equalize in second half but scored 2.
