Antony's dribbling is pretty bad for someone whose main skill is dribbling

That bit at the end was surreal. Poor half from him despite the tap-in.

Sandikan · Apr 16, 2023

Eriksen and Bruno tearing them to bits.
Maguire having a difficult game.

But importantly, we're winning.

Ridiculously composed. Oh how good would it be if he could stay fit.

He has been very good after looking a bit nervous at the start. Playing with Lindelof essentially requires the other CB to be incredibly dominant, and he’s done that well.

I think Lindelof has been the better one between the two CBs...

Pscholes18 · Apr 16, 2023

Need two more

mitchmouse · Apr 16, 2023

would obviously be happier if we'd got a second, but as long as we don't sit back or have a brain fart in 46-50 mins, we should create enough chances to win this. if we can get a second early in second half, forest heads should drop and their crowd should go quiet

Well that's completely wrong. Bruno eriksen and VL easily have been better

What the feck was that from Antony. Dribbled it out of touch.

tried to put his studs on it to roll it.

RedDevilRoshi · Apr 16, 2023

In control and deservedly ahead at the break. Bruno & Eriksen are running the show.

evil_geko · Apr 16, 2023

Good game, they haven't created one chance (I don't consider corner messing around and Dalot blunder them creating a chance).

siw2007 · Apr 16, 2023

Ok performance so far. The organisation in possession is good as we are playing out well and getting at their back line, and of course we have the lead.
Defending is harder. It’s not as if Maguire is playing badly, but you feel that he is on the edge. The set pieces from them are giving us too many problems so that would be a focus at half tube to try and fix.

Berbasbullet · Apr 16, 2023

Have enjoyed Dalot and AWB dropping inside, also the playing out from the back has been good.

Need a couple more now to end this as they have had chances.

Massive overreaction because of his daft challenge in the opening mins.

How is that overreacting?

Imagine your CB starting games with a yellow and inviting all the pressure for the rest of the game.

And don't know what they're smoking at Whoscored but I want it

Sandikan · Apr 16, 2023

Forest's striker looks like they've just gone down the local gym, picked a hench lad, and put him in there.

Alemar · Apr 16, 2023

Not the best half for Bissaka

Tony247 · Apr 16, 2023

On the edge but going good so far. Bruno and Eriksen are running the show.

I hope Sancho gets subbed at half time. He's offered absolutely nothing.

He needs to play consistently if we’re ever going to see the best of him. Especially confidence wise.

RedDevilCanuck · Apr 16, 2023

Bruno has missed a few fee headers this season.

M Bison · Apr 16, 2023

Nerve wracking half, we’ve got goals in us but can’t see us keeping a clean sheet either.

Maguire has settled now at least, looked a nervous wreck first 15-20

And do you believe them?

MoskvaRed · Apr 16, 2023

Good first half on the whole. We need a second as I doubt we will keep a clean sheet in such an open game.

Any bench options for left wing?

Fernandes deserves a goal. Eriksens been great this halve considering he weren’t prepared to start.

Eriksen is an absolute baller. One player and he makes the whole eleven look much more technical.

kiristao · Apr 16, 2023

I don't know Anthony brings to the team. Yes he scored today but the amount of time he gets into good positions and just pretends like he is trying to get past the full back and then passes it to AWB or Bruno is infuriating

If he’s the highest rated on whoscored then whoscored isn’t worth looking at, he’s been competing with Sancho and Dalot for player most out of his depth.

always_hoping · Apr 16, 2023

I'd gladly take a 1-0 result if offered now. Hopefully no brain farts for any United player in this 2nd half.

Telsim · Apr 16, 2023

Had to miss the first half. How has it been? Is Sancho as shit as ever?

saivet said:
We've been good yet this thread is negative as feck moaning at so many players. Need to take our chances early in the 2nd half and kill the game.

Good is a stretch. We're lucky that NF aren't all that or we could well be behind.

As you say we need to take our chances because we're a shambles at the back.

PoTMS · Apr 16, 2023

Never mind the performance, I'll take the 3 points by hook or by crook. We're dropping like flies. Having said that, Sancho needs to come off but there's no options on the bench.

Pscholes18 · Apr 16, 2023

Would love to have a Mitoma on the left for this game.

Doracle · Apr 16, 2023

Bruno and Eriksen have been brilliant in that half and Martial makes a big difference for us. Hope we can get 2-0 at least before Martial has to come off.

Think the CBS and AWB have also done well. It’s a physical challenge out there and they’ve stopped Forest getting much of a foothold.

Cas looks a bit rusty and Sancho has done well to try to get involved but lacked quality so far.

Thought he was alright personally. Wasted a couple of balls but he's playing that tactical role quite well. Picking up midfield spaces and driving forward. If he just does that and plays the simple pass at the right time it is going to work against this Forest setup.

The ref is enjoying giving us feck all hey.

ref has had a good game IMO, for both teams.

LordSpud · Apr 16, 2023

Reckon Ten Hag's patience is running out with Sancho. Offers nothing.

Antony still quite green for a 100m player.

Maguire just shocking.

We've played quite well though all things considered, hope we dont have a case of deja vu from Thursday though, we all said we should've scored the many chamces we had vs Sevilla and look how it turned out.

Marzo · Apr 16, 2023

Bruno has been great, Martial seems asleep….

PSV · Apr 16, 2023

Bruno and Eriksen cooking. Rest more to be desired.

spiriticon · Apr 16, 2023

I can't decide if Maguire is the unluckiest footballer on this earth, or he's just so bad that his luck writes itself

Apparently his job is to hold the ball and wait until everyone gets to move forward. A ball carrier with a good left curler.

owlo · Apr 16, 2023

Eriksen is a very good player. Missed him a lot. Casemiro been quiet. Missed the first 10 minutes but Maguire has actually looked fine to me? (started watching from his 'handball' in the box)

Also like how Wan Bissaka has been doing. Sancho isn't good enough unfortunately.

DWelbz19 · Apr 16, 2023

Need to put the game to bed early because Martial isn’t playing longer than 60

Rather than looking at whoscored it’s probably better to watch the match. He’s been terrible. Early yellow card. Lucky to not give a penalty away. On the brink of a red card. The most basic pass being misplaced.
