Scrappy wins are the ones that make a difference and quite often it is due to individual/moments of brilliance after perseverance. It's what's so annoying about MUFC at the moment/in recent times, the mentality just isn't there, not all the time anyway.I watched the Newcastle game this morning on demand when I already knew the score, probably an easier watch knowing the result however it was a familiar pattern. Dominated the first quarter of the game without really threatening, lose their way in the middle and then a couple of game changing substitutions from Howe and some individual brilliance sneaks the win. Pope pulled off a class save at 60 mins, Trippier came on not long after and from there they were much the better side, Newcastle having two chances they really should have scored towards the end too.
Superb result from another average performance but it's looking clear that it's not a side that is beaten easily although I still maintain they at times look like a team that is ready to receive an absolute trousering, rather than one ready to dish one out. Not happened yet though so hard to complain about it. Fulham away next week and hopefully closer to getting some first team players back.

I'm fine thanks Rob, I've just been away since Wednesday. Thankfully I didn't see any of the football over the weekend so in my head it didn't happen.

As a Nottingham Forest fan, the weekend has been amazing. I will take it. First time in my life, a win at Anfield.
So called Liverpool fans online moaning about everything from International breaks to Ryan Yates housery
The more "normal" fans acknowledging they were just not good enough and one of those days.
I was at Anfield for the 3-2 loss a few seasons ago, Saturday was on another level.
Nottingham Forest stuck to the game plan and it worked, since getting back into the Premier League, the normal pattern is stick to plan till we concede then all hell breaks loose. We rode our luck for sure, but after what happened at the City Ground last season, I do not care one bit.
