2022/2023: Carabao Cup Semi Final 1st Leg - Nottingham Forest v Man Utd

ETH getting pissed off with them.

Wout gets going.

[Deez Nutz 340]

Forest forgot he was playing as did I, but a goal it is.

I love the big lump already 

[CB78 347]

Fernandes will get slowly phased out under Ten Haag I reckon - doesn’t keep/use ball well enough

To be fair, no superstar but does the simple stuff well - holds it up / links up decent - I can see him being effective 

[kevthebad 881]

Another goal and keeping a clean sheet should be enough to make the second leg a mere formality.

Hope ETH gives them a dressing down because we are capable of controlling this game and shouldn't be letting Forest have so many chances.

Forest need to be fucked out of the league.

That's embarrassing conceding 5 goals without reply.

[PVAD 4,461]

Fernandes is a problem for Ten Hag just like Maguire was for Solskjaer.

He is legitimately an average midfielder who has progressively got worse since the COVID season particularly reliant on his pens. 

He has the captaincy essentially as Maguire is out of favour  which makes it harder for him to be dropped for Ten Hag it's almost admitting he was wrong with his deputy choice. He needs to show the metal he did when he dropped Maguire as Fernandes does not deserve a starting line up especially in the Premiership.

He has gone to shit and is actually an embarrassment with his pathetic petulant behaviour. No natural leaders on that pitch to challenge him but was happy Antony gave him some lip at Palace.

Has to be dropped and fucked out the club.

Casemiro getting a bit of a lesson tonight. Gibbs White not giving him time on the ball.

Forest are going to score soon if we don't take control. 2 -1 wouldn't be as comfortable.

Come on Fecundo, make an impact.

Pellistri 

-e- job done 

[TFIA 14,993]

And there’s Bruno’s but of brilliance. Bizarre player.

[kevthebad 881]

That's the goal we needed to finish it off!

[TFIA 14,993]

Lovely pass from Elanga.

Good win. Should be able to rest players for the second leg.

[Deez Nutz 340]

I agree with Neville about Martinez being MOM.

[O 20,435]

Only Newcastle can humble United now.

If they even get past Southampton. I wouldn't bet on it given ten Hag's luck in the cup draws.

[TheManc 4,052]

Job done. Wonder if we'll give the likes of rashford some minutes vs reading, knowing that he'll have 7 days to rest after? Can't see us playing the same second string, twice in 4 days for reading/forest at home.

[kevthebad 881]

Had times in the game when we were sloppy and gave Forest some hope, but really we could have got a couple more goals, if we'd had that killer instinct. 

If we can get Dalot and Martial back soon then we should be able to win most of our upcoming games and cement a position in the top four

£83 million for Antony, expected so much more from him.

Sancho MK II

In the end, an almost professional display. Lithandro, thoroughly magnificent performance MOTM, no doubt!

Yeah I suspect we’ll go pretty strong for Reading and rest most vs Forest. Probably mix it up for both games.

Look at you hopping on the gloryhunter bandwagon now that United are in a cup final.
