Notts Forest v Manchester United : Official match thread - 4:30pm 16.4.23

I’m usually incredibly confident going in to every game, but got a very bad feeling about this one tbh.

We usually react well to a setback. I think we’ll come out full-on seige mentality.

We played some really good stuff on Thursday.

1-2.

Fair point, we were excellent in the first half.

I think a lot of that was down to looking more fluent with Martial in the side though, and hasn’t the boss said he might not play today?

He did. I’m hoping it was a bluff. Start him and take him off after an hour.

We have enough in attack do we have enough too defend....?

Weather the initial forest giddyness and we should be good for a coupe of goals

The performance levels have gone up in the last three games. Played some lovely stuff against Brentford, Everton and Sevilla. Goals getting shared around more too. It’s just been overshadowed by missed chances and that horrendous ending on Thursday.

The changes aren’t ideal, but they should be fresh and have a point to prove.

Think he he to start Martial today, we do not have enough of a goal threat with the other options.

Sancho, Weghorst and Antony have a combined 7 goals over their 44 league appearances, with 2 between them since October.

Huge if true.

We’ve got Casemiro back, Erikson will start and Luke Shaw is back = 3 points

If true, dalot is probably injured. OR he is using dalot as a cover left back and Jurado as cover RB.

I’d be surprised if he throws him in at RB and shift AWB to CB. More surprised there isn’t an academy CB on the bench. In terms of fit CBs we have slab and lindelof? Then maybe Casemiro or The Scottish Player can slot in if things get really desperate.

Big C345’ers with the latest 👍

When’s Garnacho back?

Few weeks.

No McT or Shaw. Iqbal and Jurado with the squad.

Incredibly harsh on Malacia. Bigger players have gotten away with a lot worse this season.

Dalot in at left back.

Glad Martial is starting. If he dies he dies.
