What is the meaning of "going forward" and "commit" in this sentence?
It would be staggering if this game finished goalless, as both sides are on the front foot. Man City are so dangerous going forward, but Chelsea are also committing plenty of numbers to each attack

Both of these phrases have similar meanings: a team is attacking a lot. In the first example, City look like they will score when they attack so this is described as being dangerous.
In the second example, if a team commits plenty of numbers/commits players forward it means that they have many players in an attacking position - maybe they are trying to win the game?
