Enzo Maresca rues Manchester City’s lack of desire after defeat at Nottingham Forest
‘You need desire and intensity … we didn’t match them’City have now lost three successive league matchesEnzo Maresca blamed his side’s lack of desire and the way they were outgunned in duels for a third successive Premier League defeat. After winning their first seven games of the season, Manchester City’s 3-1 loss at Nottingham Forest extended their poor run.Jair Cunha dispossessed Josko Gvardiol to score the opener, then Liam Delap struck twice with muscular surges on the break as Forest won their first home league game since April. “Today I think [the problem] has been general,” said Maresca. “It’s not about one player. In the first half we lost all the duels, all the contacts. Against this team, that is fighting relegation, if you don’t match them … it’s something we need to understand. In this kind of game, if you’re not able to win duels and second balls like in the first half, you struggle. Continue reading...

Delap’s Nottingham Forest stunners hand Manchester City third league defeat in a row
Wait long enough and results will come to reflect performances. Manchester City may have won their first seven league games of the season but they always looked vulnerable, and now have lost three in a row. Nottingham Forest may have been second bottom but, other than the twin curses of missing chances and giving away daft goals, they seemed to be playing reasonably well. Put the two together and the outcome was a dramatic regression to the mean. It turns out the stats were right, after all.Liam Delap scored twice to remind people just what a good striker he can be. Oliver Glasner, after last week’s anger, can breathe a little easier in his job. And Enzo Maresca remains a paradox, a manager obsessive about control whose teams always seem oddly susceptible to direct running. Continue reading...
