Nah, it's only if they have extremely absurd logic.

Bruno just skimmed a tap in wide, Casemiro missed a point blank header, Martial was through and looked like he ran through cement, and we scored 2 outside of that. Forrest have had to defend 8 corners already, lord knows how many shots and it's 65 minutes in.
Peer over to the Arsenal game last week, or right now (they're losing by the way). Or Chelsea last week or Liverpool vs Bournemouth for large periods of the game. And then tell me where we look relatively.
Edit and now Forrest have a red card because Bruno was through.
Agreed they have been dire. However, IMO that’s not many midfielders over 10 years. And half of them, I couldn’t tell you their best position, square pegs, round holes
It is 12 midfielders in 10 years. Which club has signed more?
none of it detracts from the fact we are poor in possession. We are lucky forest are a poor side. 2-0 headstart against most pl sides and we are done.
Their goal came from a corner turned over and a corner of their own. What does that have to do with us generally in possession? Look at the possession stats today, look at the XG stats, look at the sheer domination from 5mins-75mins (and counting.
I'm not denying that we need to do better to retain the ball, but I'm just confused why you're moving goalposts just to dick on Ten Hag for no reason.
Mass banning for the Ten Hag out muppets
ETH in now?
This is why there's no use commenting when the game is still live. Teams showed much character to come back under previous individuals they would have dropped their heads.

We've some awful "supporters".
We play some awful football and ultimately he's responsible for that.
Most likely. Fan base is ridiculous.
Getting dominated by a 10 men forest... Embarrassing
The composure in midfield and in the team will cost him. We dont dominate at all. Our passing is regressing by the game.
It was still a terrible game and we should not be scrapping a win against a poor Nottingham team.
I think many on here have fallen in love with the idea of ten Hag but ultimately he’s very far from elite level and will not lead us to major trophies. The fact we allowed him to spend £500m on his targets, nearly all of whom are dross, is mind boggling.

It's now 500 million? Wow
We've dominated the game from start to finish. What game are even watching.
I'm not sure he's gonna have us competing for the big trophies. Sure, he'll probably do enough to win the odd cup and qualify for top 4 but there's a glass ceiling.
Haven’t a clue, wasn’t trying to argue that I’m right, just said in my opinion. Midfield is a big place and we seem to constantly neglect the defensive side of it.
He looked seriously unhappy on the sidelines at points. He knows this is shit at the moment. Luckily we are coming out of this dodgy start with 6 points somehow so if he can fix things we are still in a good spot. He needs to find it fast though with the games coming up. Playing like this it's clear to anyone with eyes that it's only a matter of time before someone pulls our pants down again.
Our own Pep Guardiola is my idol 
Another awful performance. Couldn't make more than a couple of passes without giving it away against 10 men. EtH needs to sort it out.
6 points out of 9, Ten Hag out.
Papering over cracks but I liked how he managed to get a good reaction from the team. I will take the win. These don't come that often nowadays so gonna enjoy it.
feck me people, what happened to just enjoying a proper old school comeback?
Could be just what we need to ignite our season.

Is this the best this guy can do? Because it aint good enough.
Him and SAF looked pretty angry during the entirety of the match.
Not surprising considering this team has no fitness, no legs and no cajones keep hold of the ball for longer than 2 seconds.
The number of times we give away the ball is criminal.

Unfortunately, I agree with every word you said.
A poor 5 minutes followed by a decent game and people still complaining.
Needs two new midfielders, another new right winger, another striker, another centreback and a left back.
But that's to be expected, because we're only 3 transfer windows and £380m of signings into a rebuild.

They're all in shambles that we've come back and won that.
Very lucky that individual moments got him the win today.
Why we never defend result with trying to have possession? Instead he always parks the bus basically. And then we blame stupid corner, free kick or whatever when we concede late goal.
Worrying. Very worrying
Wins don't come often nowadays? You're talking like United have been relegation fodder for years.
This. We ran through them after a poor start.
But the real question is, how do we eliminate these poor starts entirely!?
Its either we start like shit and then come back furiously/aggressively.
Or we start great, don't score and then start to fade in the second half.
Yeah, if someone's week is ruined watching that match, they need to stop watching football.
Good comeback. But it's going to be a long season. So many holes in the squad, such a brittle team defensively and weak in attack.
Conceded 7 points from winning positions last season. I wouldn’t worry about it really.
Kinda of joke to me that he cannot get this team to hold the ball and punish Forest. If this is City or Liverpool, it would punish Forest ruthlessly. Speechless.... is ETH losing the dressing room?
