A match where the club felt like nothing went their way. One where City could not get anything going and the few they did, did not find the back of the net. Poor overall from Ederson as well, where the goal beat him first post and Forest did not have much in the attack.
Rue the day, was the mood, given the loss and general uneasiness. On to the reaction-
**Pep Guardiola Reaction**
> “We have to win games and if we don’t win enough games in a row to be secure, it will be a battle. We have 10 games left and we have to win a lot of games to qualify. It’s as simple as that.
>
> “To find a way, you have to play better. You have to find something. It will not come from the sky. You have to do it. In situations you have to find something.
>
> “The situation is what it is, we have 10 games left starting next Saturday against Brighton, international break after and then we will see what happens.”
>
> “We missed a pass and in the transition they scored a goal.
>
> “It was a little bit slow in our process, we struggled to create chances, but always I give credit to the opponent because they defended really well.
>
> “But we controlled the main threat with the long ball to Chris Wood and with the second balls we were really good and after that the transitions were really good – especially in the first half.
>
> “Everyone was so connected but our line was a little bit slow and when we arrive in the final third we were not able to finish our actions.
>
> “To break the lines you have to move the ball a little bit to the left and then quick to the right and everything was not as quick as we should do.”

> Simple switch of play to Hudson-Odoi in loads of space on the right, he just runs into the box and scores at the near post. That doesn't look great on anybody for City

> City didn't play terribly I thought. Really poor from Josko and Ederson on that goal though
