I wasn’t at Forest today as I’m looking after my kids, but in Leipzig the other night I asked Maresca about the exact situation that led to the third goal (and similar to the second)- Fernandez being high/wide and Anderson moving out to get on the ball. If the ball/duel is lost, there’s big space for opponents to break into. Maresca said individual mistakes were leading to goals, not that specific scenario. I asked if it led to the games being open/end-to-end and he said he would assess things in the international break. That stuff definitely needs addressing as the midfield is often far too open. Mistakes still a big factor too of course. Terrible combination at the moment
Doing a Q&A about City in two hours so put your questions in this link and I’ll try to answer them nytimes.com/athletic/7747105…
A couple of City’s wins haven’t been as impressive as they looked this season, the Villa loss wasn’t as bad as it looked. They’re ticking along very well for a team that’s got a new manager and many new players. Obviously need to improve, but who doesn’t?
