'God knows' - Jack Grealish makes Man City concession ahead of Nottingham Forest

Manchester City forward Jack Grealish has criticised his team's performance against Arsenal - as they now prepare to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Despite winning Wednesday night's game 3-1, Man City didn't play "that well" against the Gunners, Grealish thinks, and they will be looking to correct that when they visit Forest on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking after the game, Grealish gave an honest opinion of how Man City performed and was stunned by a statistic given to him about just how sub-par one particular aspect of their performance was.

"If I'm being honest, I don't think we actually played that well," he told Prime Video after the match. "I think Arsenal played a lot better than us, I thought they were the better team."

When then told Man City had just 36% possession during the game, Grealish replied: "36?!" - before laughing in disbelief, and adding: "God knows, then. I don't really want to say much about that.

"I thought they were the better team, I don't know what you guys think. They had a few chances and stuff. I don't know if it was a penalty, I've not really seen it back yet.

"But listen, if you win titles and stuff, you've got to come to grounds like this and, even when you're not at your best, you've got to win games. That's what me and Riyad said to each other on the bench."

How should Forest set up against a team like Man City? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
