Nottingham Forest 2:1 Manchester United

King Eric 7 · Dec 30, 2023

Antony is a one trick pony who has forgotten how to do his one trick.

sdb4884 · Dec 30, 2023

Forest are just as bad as Sheff Utd, if we lose this... well it wont surprise me.

Our defensive organisation all across the pitch is completely baffling

Exactly narrow pitch makes no sense at all this game suits a diamond, get Antony off and play 4-1-2-1-2, if Amad is fit get him on for Antony he could play as roaming 10 and Bruno and Eriksen as 8’s

Back to shite on a stick who could have predicted?

Who Do you want to play at 9 then? Hugill...or McTominay?

Obviously it's a difficult one.

Honestly wouldn't have minded trying McT there so we could keep Rashford on the left and Garnacho right.

Or even try Antony or Amad false nine or something. Feel like making Rashford play up to does him no favors and it doesn't do the team any good either.

Wing Attack Plan R · Dec 30, 2023

Turner worse than Onana at accurate long passes.

VivaRonaldo85 · Dec 30, 2023

This is what it’s like to play without a central forward player. We have no body in the middle to either pass to or score. This game actually does cry out for McTominay off the bench to nick one later in the game.

Garethw · Dec 30, 2023

We look the most uncoached team in the league.

Genuine question. What was his one trick?

Antony at £90m is an unforgivable transfer. He’s fast becoming one of the worse players I’ve ever seen in a United shirt. All he does is pass back to the full back after a 10 second attempt to get past his defender.

Sancho is worse, but that doesn't make up for how poor Anthony is.

Evans is usually sound but he is a bit off today.

He wouldn't start for Forrest

It actually is a shame because he clearly has the fire and desire to be a United player but man, he is arguably the worst attacking player I’ve ever watched in our shirt

Did we watch Antony before we spent a frigging fortune on him. Honestly what does he contribute.

How ETH signed off on that much money for him is criminal.

Andycoleno9 · Dec 30, 2023

Raahford on no9 never looks good.

RedIan said:
Why doesnt ETH switch Garnacho and Anthonys wings, im sure we would look a lot more threatening.
This is Anthonys 69th game on the right for a total of 3 assists.

Feels like he did this quite a bit early in his tenure but has slowly stopped doing it.

DavelinaJolie · Dec 30, 2023

Ball across and no one in the middle of the area. Sums it up really.

I honestly can’t decide between him and Maguire. At least Antony has the Barca goal I guess?

calodo2003 · Dec 30, 2023

Christ, this is tedious.

Wing Attack Plan R · Dec 30, 2023

Garnacho giving the proverbial 110%.

Someone · Dec 30, 2023

With Garnacho and rashford we had threats on both flanks. Antony just kills everything he gets. Poor selection after last week. Even with Hojlund injured, replace him instead of changing an entire working formula. Play anyone as a striker and we'd still be better.

PoTMS · Dec 30, 2023

Hate to say it but this game is crying out for Scott McTominay.

Also can't cross, really not ideal for this team in any regard aside pressing

I am sure Amad would be able to add more

mav_9me · Dec 30, 2023

We are definitely pressing with intensity. We just haven't created anything.

Ceteris · Dec 30, 2023

A whole Manchester United have one striker on their first team? Wow

DJ_21 · Dec 30, 2023

I’d rather watch paint dry.

Forest are not very good.

Antony is quite clearly not even close to the standard of anything we might hope to achieve. What a horrible transfer. Relegation clubs are his level.

He has to be the worst United player I’ve seen play in the 20 years I've been watching matches regularly. I don’t think he starts at any other premier league club.

James35 · Dec 30, 2023

I will never be a fan of Antony. Utterly pointless player.

We're luring them in only to hit them hard in the second half.

Widow · Dec 30, 2023

Seams like we need Forest to score in order for us to wake the feck up!

That curling shot with his left foot. He can't do it now because he's been found out so he just has to faff about.

Irrational. · Dec 30, 2023

Elanga looks more than Antony will ever amount to. He’s terrorised us down our left.

Who would play as a striker then? McT? Reguilon?

Superunknown · Dec 30, 2023

I've seen more than enough from Antony to know that he just isn't the right fit for us. I'm not sure who he is the right fit for, and I don't really care.

Run down the right hand side, do a little twirly thing, cut inside on to his left foot and try and curl it in at the far post (but either miss or have it easily saved every single time)

Yeah I'd be taking Antony off for Amad and trying an interchanging front 3. Current set up clearly isn't working.

Antony is awful, Ten Hag's signings have been mostly junk.

Is there another PL team Antony would start for if his price wasn't exorbitant ?
