The problem with us is - No movement from our attacking players, so easy to mark and close down. Poor first touch from our forwards. Wanting too much time on the ball, taking far too many touches. Just too slow in passing the ball.
We've looked comppetely comfortable throughout that half after about the first minute. It's obvious why Forest haven't won at home in 4 games. So why the fck are we playing like we've **** our pants?! This is just so dry.
Same old turgid, pedestrian, predictable approach play. We have the pace but seem to lack the confidence against a side who are good on the counter attack, so stalemate. I see a set piece or penalty making the difference.
Switch Garnacho and Antony, take off Rashford and stick on Amad. Get the ball to them quickly. Try something different.
I just think we lack quality mate. Can't fault Antony's effort but he does nothing. Bruno is nowhere near good enough for all the hype he's given. He never takes a game by the scruff of its neck. Garnacho runs around with his head down most of the time, and very lightweight atm so easily gets outmuscled. Rashford blows hot and cold and tbf that may be partly down to a lack of service but he's not bust a gut to get in the box either. Add to that no fcking cohesion between ANY of them. They just play 3 yard passes to each other without actually going anywhere hoping for something to happen. It won't!
It's no good Ten Hag just sitting there shaking his head. It's not like this is the first time. It's been like this ALL season. What's he done all season to change it.
You know what, maybe they are playing for the manager, maybe they're not. Or maybe they're playing exactly the way he wants them to and it's just not working. Fck knows anymore. All I know is it's ****. And he's the manager.
