Post-match discussion

It’s not even really a surprise. If you have morons in goal and defence, and can’t really score any goals, chances are you won’t win many games.
 
Its going to be 3 straight losses because we are going to lose at City. The season is over.
 
I simply fail to see how any manager in this world can get the bunch of brainless idiots that inhabit our team to any success!

You will have to watch football for a very long time to see a collection of idiotic footballers we have assembled. I feel sorry for Amorim because he has about 4 PL level players and 20 league 1 level to try to compete in this league.
 
Horrendous defensive display.

I wonder whether Amorim takes a gamble at some point and shelves the back three. They can’t do it plain and simple.
 
Just as we enter a month of punishing fixtures we start this shite.

With these players, Amorim won’t last the season.
 
All three of their goals came from their only shots on target - and they weren’t even particularly good shots on target.

Conceding at the beginning of each half is unforgivable. And Onana needs to be shipped off. What a complete waste of money.
 
Lots of decent stuff until the players lost their heads. Way too many brainless decisions, mainly with Martinez, Onana and Dalot. Horrific performance from those 3 and the reason we lost today. Bruno also played pretty poorly though scored well.

Very clear just brain dead decisions costing us the result rather than anything concerning about our general tactics IMO, thought there were enough positive signs from that side still. Early days so shit like this will happen.

Back to back league defeats with a trip to Etihad to come. Rough.
 
Players did the same under ETH to be honest, starting halves poorly

We played well overall, dominated Forrest as we should, created chances but their keeper had a good game.

On our side, we gifted 3 goals

We were fairly good other than getting a 2nd in the first half. We had a spell of dominance without being on the cusp of scoring in the 2nd half. We were not even the best team in the 2nd half despite having that period of dominance
 
I said we had good players and Amorim should coach them and get something out of them, now, I am slowly starting to accept, that we have a shit team and I doubt combined prime SAF, Pep, Klopp and Ancelotti will get them to be better than what they are currently.

Amorim won't be able to do anything of note with this squad.
 
We might achieve relegation if we stick to buying slow, lazy and shite players. We're close enough. This could be the year we do it!
 
Took over a decade but we're now a bona fide mid-table team. Our only realistic aim is to finish in the top half, that's about the limit of our ambitions now.
 
The difficulty for Amorim is working out who is good but broken, and who isn’t good enough. That’s an incredibly difficult job, because standards have fallen so far in every single way in the past decade.
 
If he is here for the long term a number of players have to go as they are counter attacking. Garnacho, Rashford head up the list. They just dont have the vision and passing technique. They both need to run into space.

Bruno as well is on thin ice. He couldnt make a simple two yard pass that gave away the second goal. Hes another counter attacking player.

I give up.
 
Martinez need to be benched, cause us 1st and 3rd goal. Onana cause us 2nd goal. Calamity defending
 
Our players are half blind, they never see the right side of the pitch.
 
What is the point and goal with moving the ball around slowly at the back half the time?
I will never figure that one out. We gain nothing from it on top of being slow and rather boring actually. Even when we are chasing we have all the time in the world. My sanity
 
We don’t play through our best players enough. Maybe it’s egos or just lack of football sense but our best players right now are Amad and Mazraoui. 3 out of 5 times in attack we should be feeding them the ball.
 
Absolutely pathetic. I genuinely think there's only three players good enough in this squad. Amad, Bruno and Mazraoui. Felt Mainoo was also going to be good enough but he literally seems to hide from the ball at times nowadays. Saw him literally putting himself in positions today in midfield where he intentionally put a forest player in the way of him receiving the ball while our defenders had possession.

Yoro invisible. Garnacho poor. The rest of the team average/poor as always.

I don't blame Amorin. Ten Hag has built the worst squad in Uniteds modern history.
 
Bench the big names and build a team with toung players.

Sell Mount, Hojlund, Onana, Dalot, Rash...

Seriously, just feck off United.
 
Amad was our best attacker and he had a shit game. Garnacho and Rasmus are not starters. Martinez, Dalot and Onana can feck off.
 
what was amorim thinking keeping mainoo, dalot and hojlund on the pitch? All 3 had a below average game.
 
Utterly crap - but what on earth can a manager do when a keeper concedes to a slight swerve from a near central pearoller, or your defender doesn't bother moving his leg 5cm to the left and watching a ball go in his net.

We're going to be looking at 8th last season as a great result!
 
Disgusting fecking shambles. Amad the only player who comes away from that with any credit. Forest physically bullied us, just embarrassing.
Ugarte was good too but the rest where fecking awful. This squad is very far away from being even a top4 contender right now.
 
Eth has ruined this football club. It's all his players that now need moved out.
 
Seasons gone. They let Ten Hag carry on too long and sink the season.
 
Can we actually get some intelligent players moving forward? Some of the decision making.... my God.
 
Brainless players
The storm has definitely arrived
Too many changes especially in defence
You have to have a settled back 4/5 in the Premiership
You can’t really use premiership games for training.
I think this season is now a write off.
 
What a piss poor performance. Clearly Nottingham was a bit lucky with their goals, and we had loads of possession, but

it seems like the players lack any kind of intelligence to actually win a game. Onana’s free kick in the dying seconds as a tragic example

Especially the attack was terrible. Hojlund didn’t do anything right all game, apart from his tap in. Garnacho so clueless.
 
I just cannot get my head around the fact these players on hundreds of thousands, can not make a simple pass. Really nothing else to say, another year as a write off. These players are utterly useless and embarrassing.
 
There are certain players that need to always start. Maz is one of them. Amad and Bruno are the other two.
 
We played ok. Completely undone by the 2 stupid goals to concede.

Everything became so rushed and poor decision making toward the end meant we really couldn't maintain momentum.
 
Brainless mistakes cost us the game. We played ok bar two mistakes.
Onana saves that easy shot and Martinez doesnt have a brain fart and we win.
Forest are a decent team and are in 6th for a reason. They beat liverpool at Anfield.
The gloom merchants will be out in force but its fine margins in games like this.
 
So many money wasted on players, who are not good enough: Mount, Antony, Urgate, Højlund, Zirkzee, Malacia, Sancho and Lindelöf. None of them are good enough and will never become good enough.
 
Also the officials can once again feck off. They kill the momentum in the game due to their shite technology then have the nerve to only add 7 minutes on at the end when there was clearly more stoppage time than that and the ref blows on exactly 97. Pricks the lot of them.

So many things to pick upon and you chose to complain about the ref. Give this set of players another half they won’t win
 
Unwatchable.

Players need to learn basics of passing at junior academy, and then come back to real football.
