Half time!

Rashford actually switched with Antony to the right toward the end there. I believe that's a tactical change by the manager to exploit the right more.

We should have scored more goals in that first half. So many opportunities too.

Great game to watch!
 
Lindelof is coming on for Varane. We have been sht at the back, sadly! There should be a way back for Maguire with the way the backline has performed in the first 3 days.
 
Rashford is now back in the No. 9 position with Martial on the left and Antony back on the right.

We will create chances but I don't know if we have anyone on the pitch to take them.
 
We had a good chance with Martial in the box from the left and he just didn't hit the ball and gave the goalkeeper forever and day to make the save. Stupid!
 
2-2!!! YES! CASEMERO!!!!

Great free kick from Bruno by going across the line and they literally worked the ball back with a flick into the box, a header again from Bruno and Casemiro is there to bundle the fkin ball in.

FKIN AMAZING GAME!!!
 
One fkin time that Antony attacks the right flack without switching to his left foot, it almost led to a goal. The defenders are not even trying to cover that space on the right because they know that he will always switch back to his left. What a player Antony would be if he could add that to his game to attack the flank far more times than switching to his left.
 
Martinez just crossed the ball into the center box with Lindelof almost connecting with it. Two central defenders even coming forward for it. Great game for Match of the Day!
 
Worral out with a red card trying to take down Bruno. Down to ten men now.

Bruno has been immense in this game. Fully led from the front and pushing the team with him.

If we can get the three points, this can truly be a turning point for the team.
 
PENALTY!!!

Rashford attacks again from the left. He has done it over and over again today. Let's hope for a goal!
 
Forrest players are just going for it now. They are throwing themselves forward with nothing to lose. We need to close it out.

We're just not grafting enough. Weak in every 50/50 ball, not even bothering to jump for headers or winning the tackles, that's really what's let us down all game. It's been pathetic.

That's why McTominay came on. Casemiro needs to come off. His legs are gone from what looks like an injury.

They all look leggy mate. I haven't seen one of our players get to the ball first. It's nowhere near the standard expected.

Did you watch the full game? This has been a great play against a very physical Forrest side. They are all tall broad bastards!

One could argue that the first two goals should have never happened. But they again used their physicality to get the first by winning the call in the middle. The second goal was just stupid, quite frankly. But the passion and work-rate that went into recovering from that first 4 minutes was truly incredible. Best game I've watched us play in a long while with the back against the wall.

I said this past week that I miss the 3-2 scoreline. Well, I am not complaining right now.
 
It was Nottingham Forest, even at 2 down I still felt we'd win. But the performance and lack of any fight or hunger from most of the players was fcking awful to see. Just lightweight in every tackle, every run, easily pushed off the ball. Just weak and piss poor tbh.

I thought Sancho was piss poor when he came on but he weren't on his own.

Nah! That was a tough game. I don’t agree that the team was weak from what we put out today. They had the fight, they showed passion and gave it their all. You certainly don’t come from two goals down exhibiting weak qualities that you laid out.

That was a great turnaround. Good chance of tactics too from the manager to allow Rashford and Antony freedom to interchange throughout the second half which allowed us to stretch them more. I agree with you on Sancho though. He just couldn’t get into the play with his runs.

On balance of the full game, they all had great attitude and tremendous team spirit all round (after the 4th minute).
