Match review: Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest
That was a closer scoreline than I'd have liked or expected. Fuck me.
Ultimately it was a valiant comeback from Manchester United to go from 0-2 to 3-2 victors but the manner of how United conceded should be worrying.
Sloppy passing, poor movement, poor positioning and Forest countered to take a 2nd minute lead. A poor tackle from Dalot gave Forest a free kick, and poor marking let Forest head home a second. These weren't moments of genius, they were moments of failure on United's part.
This isn't to discredit Forest for their approach: they put up a good fight and made a game of it. They wanted to lock down and keep things tight and tricky. No, the issue is the team. United are injury-riddled 3 games in to the season and seemingly lacking something mentally. Is it tactics? Or is it a lack of game intelligence to put Erik Ten Hag's gameplan into action?
And then... there's the 'fit' players. Casemiro still looks off the pace, although better today. Eriksen lacks pace for all his proficiencies. Dalot... fine forward, poor back at LB. Rashford seems short on confidence. Martial maybe the same, or maybe he's done.
One of the hilarious things was how much better or sharper Antony looked when he switched to the left side sporadically; the ease of which he was taking on players does make me question why he doesn't prefer the LW. That said, a sharper performance and much better ball retention.
United had the most possession, made quite a few chances, and didn't look too fussed by Forest. The issue is that despite the obvious skill gap, Forest still put two goals past United. Better sides will do that and not concede, or go down to 10 men.
The key disappointment is that United don't look settled yet. There's no composure, let alone a confident swagger. Sensible fans weren't thinking a title challenge, but a Top 4 spot is certainly on the cards. It's looking squeaky for Top 8 at the moment, and it's Arsenal away next. In the words of Scooby Doo - ruh roh.

Nottingham Forest appoint Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager on a two-and-a-half year deal as he replaces sacked Steve Cooper
Nottingham Forest have appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach.
The Portuguese has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at the City Ground following Tuesday’s sacking of Steve Cooper.
Nuno, who will take charge of Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth, returns to English football following a two-year absence when he left Tottenham after an ill-fated four-month stay.
He has been out…

Balance of football power shifts in the East Midlands
Today, for the first time in the 21st century, Nottingham Forest will host neighbours Leicester City in a Premier League fixture on virtually equal terms.
It is a scenario which, less than a year ago, appeared beyond the wildest fantasies of even the most fervent of trees.
While the Foxes were revelling in their second European tour in as many seasons, Forest languished in the middle reaches of the Championship, as they had done so often throughout the previous two decades.
But last February's FA Cup clash between the sides proved to be a catalyst for a remarkable transformation.
As Cup holders, fielding a host of experienced internationals, City expected to progress with some comfort against spirited but limited opposition.
Such complacency, though, was ruthlessly dispelled as the hosts, amid frenzied scenes not witnessed in West Bridgford in many years, swept to a 4-1 victory in front of the BBC cameras.
This success gave Steve Cooper's side confidence and belief which would serve them for the rest of the season and beyond.
With the ever-nostalgic fanbase convinced that a return to past glories was imminent, Forest embarked on a run that not only saw them reach the promotion playoffs, but also - albeit with some highly benevolent refereeing decisions - prevail in them.
The club's owner, controversial Greek billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, embarked on a lavish summer spending spree, buying more than TWENTY players at a cost of over £150m in order to ensure his side made a positive impact in Forest's first Premier season since 1999.
Hopes within the fanbase that the trees would take the league by storm proved to be ill-founded, as Forest endured a series of hidings on visits to Manchester City, Arsenal and Leicester.
On their home turf, though, they have been a different proposition, with victories over West Ham and Liverpool helping to lift them out of the relegation zone.
In addition, Cooper has guided them to the semi-finals of the League Cup.
Meanwhile, the Foxes' tribulations have continued since last season's surrender of their much-coveted trophy.
Brendan Rodgers' side - once feared by the strongest teams in the land - went through the whole of 2022 without a single victory against a side in the league's top half.
A brief resurgence before the World Cup was halted by a heavy home defeat by Newcastle, since which further losses have left several fellow strugglers looming large in the rear view mirror.
Defeat today will plunge City into a relegation dogfight for which the club, in its present state of turmoil, does not appear - mentally, physically or financially - capable of withstanding.
And such an outcome would provide further evidence that the status of regional powerhouse - held with such distinction by City during the past decade - is now moving back northwards along the A46.

Sleepy Mike White
Commentators mention that Steve Cooper has managed Nottingham Forest for an entire calendar year, 37th minute:
Me: Forest's manager looks like a really sleepy Mike White.
Brother: How could you be a sleepy Mike White? He's already so sleepy.
Me: I guess you start by managing Nottingham Forest for an entire calendar year.
Brother: Maybe he had to talk to Graham Potter for five minutes right before.
Me: Potter: Do you like Brighton?

La famosa Premier League, donde todo equipo Inglés quisiera estar, nos solo por el dinero, sino por el desafío que implica estar ahí.

Steve Cooper is SACKED as Nottingham Forest manager - with Nuno Espirito Santo set to replace him
Nottingham Forest have sacked boss Steve Cooper and are in talks to appoint former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo as his replacement.
The 44-year-old has paid the price for a run of just one win in 13 Premier League games, which has seen Forest plummet to just five points above the drop zone.
