Surprised we still aren't seeing Sancho back on the bench yet. Poor Eriksen is still getting flogged as well. I know the drop off from first XI is stark but the guy needs a rest. Hopefully we can start resting players later in this game. Bring on the likes of Mainoo, Garnacho and Pallestri.

Fred can easily sub for Eriksen really. Especially with Casemiro next to him. It is also a shame what happened to DVB as if there was a time for him to have his chance it would be now!

Our problem is we do not have that Nicky Butt type player to sub in for Casemiro. It's only my old age do I realise how a player like Nicky Butt is invaluable for squad rotation.

Well we have Reading next so you would assume more players will be rested then

Good counter attacking goal there. Rashford giveth and Rashford taketh away.

Edit: Rashford just teaseth.

That was so close. Fine margins.

You can't shake you head mate. Computer says no.

Offside?

Imagine doing a Ronaldo celebration then finding out you were offside :cry:

Magic of the cup. Forest growing into the game now.

Rashford truly does not understand the concept of bodies and balls and their interaction.

United getting carved open on the counter.

That Brennan Johnson looks like he could be some player doesn’t he :eek:

We're looking very leggy at the moment. Static with low energy levels.

Still think we could be rotating better in these games. We do have options. Fred can play instead of Eriksen. Garnacho can play instead of Rashford. We have some young midfielders who could do a job.

Game is really open and therefore a good watch. United however a little bit sloppy in the final third. Rashford scores another great goal but he's also been guilty of slackness with his passing.Casemiro not really bossing the game they way you thought he might.

No way we should be jeopardising a cup win by resting players at this point. Maybe if we go into the second leg with a healthy lead, then put out a below strength side.

The horse !

Wout a goal

That’s killed the game for Forest.
