Although Nottingham Forest's win over Manchester United was not an upset, the media expressed some surprise at the result. The previous general belief was that Forest would fall under the help of the big four, but they won against Manchester United.

The news from Maine Road was as good news for Donn as their home win over Manchester United – after holding out Liverpool, Manchester City held Everton to a draw. In this way, although the 33rd round of replay has not yet been played, the Forest team has completed the reversal of Everton. They sit on top of Everton with 56 points and move up to fourth!

Since March this year, Kevin, who has been unable to lead Manchester City? Keegan was disgraced, and he was replaced by then-assistant coach Stuart. Pierce, who became the caretaker manager of Manchester City. The club has not stopped looking for a new coach. But when they searched around the corner, they found that the right fit for the club was right in front of them – Pierce was the best manager for Manchester City. No need to go outside to find someone.

Manchester City scored 15 points in eight games under his leadership, achieving Manchester City's best result in the Premier League in 10 years, and April's best manager of the month should be Pearce's, if there is no accident.

His Manchester City side has taken on a new look, and it was no surprise that they were able to draw two teams from Liverpool in succession.

Pierce walked out of Nottingham Forest and Done has no evidence to say that Pierce was deliberately helping Forest. After all, Manchester City also have to survive and work hard for a place in the UEFA Cup. But he still kept his gratitude to Pierce in his heart, and if he has the opportunity to see him in the future, he must thank him in person. It doesn't matter if he accepts it or not.

Arsenal drew away from Chelsea, a result that basically means that unless a miracle happens, Chelsea have already claimed the league trophy this season.

There was a brilliant start, and it ended up in this kind of field. The whole Arsenal team is uncomfortable and desperately needs a way to vent, like a crater.

※※※On April 23, after just seeing off Manchester United, Forest won another opponent in the city market - Liverpool. Done also put a lot of effort into this game, although he knows that Benitez may not give it his all in this game because Liverpool are still facing the Champions League final. The Champions League final is obviously more important than the league.

But knowing in your heart doesn't mean you have to relax your demands on yourself. Donne's tactics and line-up were identical to the home win over Manchester United.

As he expected, Liverpool did not line up their main force in this game, but only half of them. Rafael Benitez is saving for the Champions League final.

The Liverpool players don't seem to be on their minds in this game either. There was no suspense, and Don led the team to avenge the defeat to Anfield in the first half of the season. 1:0 small win over absent-minded Liverpool.

After the match, Donn, who had won the bargain, shook hands with Benitez and wished him a Champions Cup victory.

'I think AC Milan could be underdogs, Mr. Benitez. You're going to have a good chance of winning the championship. He winked at Benitez.

Benitez didn't understand what Donn meant, but he thanked him with a polite smile.

Sent off Benitez, assistant coach David? Chris Rac walked up briskly and said to Donne: "Everton are flat again. ”

Donn turned his head to look at Chrislac.

His assistant nodded: "Just came from Goodison Park. The game was over there, 1-1, and they were held to a draw by Birmingham. They also almost lost the game. Birmingham's Heskey scored in the first five minutes, and it wasn't until the 86th minute that Everton was defeated by Duncan? Alex Ferguson equalised. ”

After listening to Chrislak's relay, Don shook his head and said, "It's a pity. If they lose, I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight...... But that's not bad. David, Moyes can't stand it, Everton can't stand it. ”

Chrislak nodded vigorously in agreement.

Donn was right, after this game, it was also one game less, and the Forest team scored 59 points and finished fourth. Everton, on the other hand, are fifth with 56 points after back-to-back draws, two points above Liverpool in sixth and three points behind fourth-placed Forest. Even if they are level on points with Forest, they will be below Forest because of goal difference. So these three points are more than just a difference between a win and a loss.

After fighting for a season and entering the final sprint stage, there are many people who can't resist. Everton is just one of them.

※※※On April 26, the 33rd round of the league was played, and the Forest team challenged Chelsea away. This could be Everton's chance. As long as Forest lose away to Chelsea and Everton win away at Arsenal, they will be level on points and have a chance to compete in the final three rounds. But...... It is not impossible for Forest to lose away to Chelsea, and it may not be low, but Everton want to win Arsenal away from home with the current situation...... It's really difficult.

Tony? Donne, of course, knows that, too.

He wasn't expecting a home win over in-form Chelsea. Not to mention that his side won at home to Jose Mourinho in the first half of the season, and the coach will definitely want to return to Stamford Bridge to find his groove. So Forest's goal in this game is not to win, but not to lose. To be patient with Chelsea, Donn is not afraid of not scoring goals, he is not afraid of draws – he just wants a draw. By the time Chelsea were impatient with his rogue tactics, a point in this game would be secured.

What about Jose Mourinho? I'm afraid he will feel that he earned a draw with Arsenal at his home turf. But at home to a draw with Nottingham Forest, he certainly wasn't happy about it.

Don likes to do things that make his opponents unhappy, that's his principle. He's not a good guy who thinks about his opponents.

On the road, Forest resorted to a more conservative tactic than Chelsea's last game against Arsenal, hoarding heavily in their own half. Done's purpose was clear - to hold on to one point.

Naturally, Chelsea did not want to let go of this opportunity for revenge, and from the very beginning of the game, they continued to attack the heart of the Forest team. Forest, on the other hand, used Wood's extensive movement and tough physicality to disrupt Chelsea's midfield organisation.

Chelsea's ace Arjen Robben is the type of player who needs space for him to sprint and for him to make all sorts of feints. And the Forest team hoarded heavy troops in the backfield, the purpose is not to give Robben and Duff such space. Without space, Robben and Duff's threat is minimized. The two wings can't fight, and the middle is facing a dense defense, and if you want to score in this situation, you need not only strength, but also a lot of luck.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Chelsea's side today.

The scoreline on the big screen at Stamford Bridge remained unchanged from the start of the game: 0-0.
