I can take errors, but it’s like we choose to play this slow, utterly impotent stuff. Lots of looking up, pointing, foot on the ball before doing something very safe and or hopefully @#%&!ting it at someone

Not a bad level for the championship this

Do we even want to score a goal?

Chill. We’re doing okay here. Granted, the only way we’re scoring is an Eriksen free kick, but Forest aren’t scoring in a month of Sundays.

Forest are not very good. If we could wake the £#%&! up, it’s there for us.

Think we had all December’s quota on boxing day

It feels like we're waiting for them to score. It's a good job they're a bit shit too.

our usual MO, will take a forest goal to wake us up

‘Want’ is a strong word

Desire to score - low
Ability to score - even lower

He doesn’t help himself. Rashford played great off the left against villa and Garnacho the same off the right. Let them play there again and find some form and consistency. Every single game we’re moving people around and asking them to do different jobs.

Who do you play up top though. Sympathy for him on that one because it’s enforced. He’d have surely kept the same front three if he could.

We’ll do ok when Antony plays up front.

Should play Bruno up top, he's probably the best goalscorer we've got when given a chance.

Antony works very hard to get absolutely nowhere

The Scottish Player or Bruno

Yeah I get it but didn’t he take ownership of the youth teams for situations like this? Bring in a centre forward from the 21s and don’t break the system. At least have one on the bench. If Rashford duds again up front, as he always does - what is he going to do? Amad and Pellistri for the wingers is my guess.

We won’t score playing like that

why do we need anyone up top? bruno can play through the middle and we could do with an extra midfielder. right now, all of the chances on the edge of the area seem to be popping up to players who don't want to shoot. we're pushing it around pointlessly very nicely, though.

My god this scrappy

Our “attacking” play has been horrendous

All our attacking players are all piss weak
