Manchester United 2:0 Nottingham Forest

Post-match discussion


Wed, 01 February 2023

I hope it's another 25 years before Forest get a chance to score against us. Everything about this game really pissed me off. The referee and the insufferable commentary. Felt like the latter was trying to guilt trip United for winning the game or something, apart from giving me a splitting headache. And Liverpool would have had at least two penalties awarded in the first half. feck off.

Craig Burley for you? He's shite on a stick.
 
Good and well deserved win. The final will be fun to watch and we should be slight favorites.

- Interesting Jadon played as the 10 and Bruno was wide. Maybe this is how ETH will give Bruno some rest.
- Also interesting Lindelof replaced Casemiro as the DM. Maybe this is how ETH will give Casemiro some rest.
- I wasn't impressed with Garnacho and usually I like him. He just made really poor decisions throughout.
- Otherwise good individual performances, just not a great team performance. Job done though.
 
Buzzing we’re through to the final

A bit lucky because Forest were the far superior team over the two legs, but I’ll take it

This insanely odd take feels like gaslighting...I feel triggered.

I've played soccer since I was a young lad and I can honestly say I've never seen a scenario...ever...where a 5 goal difference over two games was "lucky". That would take mega-millions $1B type luck...

Ya. Winning 5 - 0 and being called lucky. I don't know what to say really.

To be honest, I haven't watched the game. But if the team were to go all out after taking a 3 nil lead, some will be calling for the heads on why we risk injuring our players etc. If we were stuck on 2nd gear as some claims, then the team is awesome to be winning while on 2nd gear.
 
Actually admiring EtH. Play your strongest fecking 11. Get some consistency.

Sick of watching constant rotation costing us a shit tonne of games since SAF.

Stability.
That is one way of looking at it, and it makes sense. I just worry about running the lads into the ground.

For example, we looked completely spent the last 20 minutes against Arsenal.

Go with your first instinct.
 
Lovely result and totally in control. How good was it to see a bench of Sancho, Rashford and Martial to call upon? Add Sabitzer and we are looking quite solid and with cover for a few different positions.
Add Dalot (who will hopefully return soon), and there will be a competition for getting into a match day squad already.
 
The 3 subs that came on must be like a hammer blow to whatever 5 per cent of fight left in forest!

This reminded me of the time Pep brings in 3 world class players to substitute and everyone your spirit sank. Now we can do that to opposition and it feels good.

Burnout will be our only enemy now
 
What games were you and that other guy above watching? Such weird takes.



Think it was Bruno.
Either you"re Wumming or you need to go to Specsavers and join the queue with the referee for an eye test
The state of this.
Sorry what the feck

Sorry guys. I'd had a drink.
 
A proper beat down by the clearly superior club. True, the goals were a bit clumsy but nothing other than a win was in the cards.
 
12th straight win at OT. A fortress again.

^ This is far more important than resting 1 or 2 players, winning games is a great habit to get into, and taking over a club in disarray makes that feat even more impressive.

Just keep the home wins coming! the league place and cups will take care of themselves.
 
The team and club that line up theirs best team and want to win it most. Will end up winning the trophy. Most of the others top teams just starting with a most lesser weaker team in this competition.

Good for the confidence. But the reality will hit you really hard. If you think you was best of the best;)
 
God I love South American commentators. Even though I can't understand a word they're saying atleast there's enthusiasm and clear love for the sport on show when a goal is scored compared to our miserable feckers.

Dunno how many times I've just put on the Spanish language broadcast just to have the emotion... I don't speak a lick of Spanish, but I can still feel what they're saying.

Mistaking the pitcher for a mug again?
 
I hope this post works been getting issues on Google using another one now. It was an easy 2 legs realy. Brennen Johnson caused us a few problems made by our lacklustre in defence. Any one having problems with site ?
