Ah!

We actually very good second half. Their keeper and defence were fantastic and on another night, we'd have another goal or two in that half.

6pts and a game in hand over Forest and 7 over Arsenal.

Phew.
 
We, haven’t lost, should have won based on the second half and 7pts clear of Arsenal, 6 ahead of Forest having played a game less.

A good result in the end for our title chances.

It was a good 2nd half performance. However, 45 mins of decent football usually isn't enough to beat the top sides. Last season we didn't beat either of the sides that finished above us. So far we haven't been either of our closest title challengers.
 
As I said it wasn't a necessity to win tonight. Would have been a big help, but considering the form Forest have been in and them being at home, not losing wasn't a bad result.

Just gotta hope the 'Good' Spurs turn up tomorrow night

And that we win the game in hand of course.

Much better second half, Forest ditched their anti-football after the equaliser but still rarely threatened.
 
Well let’s hope Forest havent done what Villa did to Arsenal last year and restricted them to 1 point out of 6 which lost them the title. 1-1 away isn’t a shocking result in grand scheme, it’s the 1-0 defeat at home that hurts.

Good resilience to come back and get a draw and should have won it in the 2nd half.

Let’s hope spurs can do something tomorrow.

Brentford on Saturday doesn’t get any easier. They dominated city first half today went 2-0 down but got it back to 2-2. Again another team that can score plenty goals but open so almost totally different game to Forest.
 
Much better second half, Jota could have had a hat trick. We created plenty of chances which it didn’t look like we would at half time. We have got to stop conceding first and we need clean sheets
 
The stats would suggest that we absolutely dominated the game, but watching it, it felt a lot closer!

After that first half anything is scraping a draw.

yes, we were utterly dreadful, but didn’t they score from their only chance in the first half? Second half we stepped it up, scored and then dominated and should have won.

if the second half had been like the first and we got a goal then yes, I agree we with you on scraping the draw.

That's what they do.

They did exactly what they wanted to and just went Wimbledon.

It can be very exciting for fans for a while being up the table but playing like a pulis side will wear the down eventually.

They had that under control but didn't pick up on the man in on the corner and paid for a defensive error.

We simply didn't do well at all first half and risked it all on do or die and forest simply couldn't take any advantage of us overloading forward and having 1 cb

Nuno had no answer but to throw more defenders in.
