0:32Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge. Manchester United 2, Nottingham Forest 2. I've got to say, it just feels like a massive missed opportunity. Of course, it's not a loss. We've won three and drawn one. We're unbeaten in four games and Spurs next week is another week. But I've got to say, this is the challenge for Manchester United, isn't it? And I'm disappointed in that performance today. I think that, albeit if it wasn't for an Ahmad Worldy I think we'd be staring down the barrel of a loss I think across the game we might have been a little bit unlucky Forest were probably a little bit unlucky I think they were the better team and Ahmad's goal was superb two big things jump out to me straight away don't forget to see your player ratings mark every player out of 10 six being the average of course I think that's going to be very telling because I don't think there was that many good performances today Three things, actually, that jump out to me.

1:28First of all, why are we light Switch FC still? Like, why are we still capable of turning the Switch off? And I think sometimes we ourselves as fans have got to lower the expectations. We speak about this on the midweek shows. Make sure you're checking out the eight o 'clock shows every night and the morning shows. We talk about it all the time. This is still very much a work in progress. It's going to be a roller coaster. And I think what's happened over the last few weeks is that we've become, we've got excited. We've got excited and we've seen an opportunity there and we've gone, this is going to be the start of something.

2:02And as much as it felt like it was the start of something in the second half, I think we all got that deep, real feel of just how the reality is. I'm watching us in the first five minutes and I'm stunned and I'm going, but I have seen the movie before. Tell me why we switched the light off at halftime. You know, they've just, they're one nil up in a very equal game. they're having a manager's chat. And then for the first five minutes, they completely down tools mentally. They're just gone. It's 1-0, 2-1 in the blink of an eye. And you sort of look at it and go, that's this. Amram can do what he likes.

2:36We can project what we like, but that is still there, that inconsistency. Let's turn the switch off. And it's just so frustrating. The second thing is, we can't play against the low block still. That's your headline. We can't play against the low block. It's all right when Sunderland turn up at Old Trafford on a bad day and we beat them 2-0. It's all right when Brighton come to Old Trafford and try and play out from the back with space, loads of space. And it's all right when you're at Anfield and there's loads of space. But against a team that doesn't give you space on the counter, we struggle.

3:10I mean, the amount of long balls we are trying to hit today, it's not going to work. It's just not going to work. I saw Bruno hit loads of long balls, trying to get Mbermo, trying to get Cunha. And it's just not going to work against the Titi. It won't work next week either. We will struggle again next week if we haven't got a game plan and we can't play through the midfield. You know, Elliot Anderson on his own dominated our midfield today. Had more holes than a crumpet, like I said in the game. So we're still struggling against the low block. And if you look at the goals we scored today, one of them's a worldie, one of them's a set piece.

3:46Where were the chances in open play? They just weren't there. Again, we struggle against the low block. Last week, loads of chances. Looked really good. But Brighton afford you the chance to counter. Forest didn't do it. And we're going to struggle. And teams are going to look at United and go, they're not back. This is how you play against United. You sit in and they can't do anything. You counter them. So it was a problem. Third thing, I don't understand why I didn't make any attacking substitutes in the second half. I think I tweeted it or said it in the watch along. If I was Manu and Xerxi, I'd put a transfer request in tomorrow morning because I'd say, I've just sat on my arse and watched a shit performance and you've not brought me on.

4:25There's no midweek game. We don't play for a week and you're not going to pick me against Spurs. What am I doing here? We're playing absolutely shit and you don't bring me on. If you're not going to use me in a game like that, you're not going to use me, are you? and I found it baffling how, look, Bruno and Casemiro got us the goal, but I don't think they had a good game.

5:15I think they look okay when we're going forward, but how many times did they run through our midfield? How much space was in our midfield again? So I don't know why a Mount or a Menuh or a Xerxi were not used. I mean, Sesco had a bad game. I'd never take Embermo and Kunja off, but you could have took Sesco off for Xerxi. You could have took Casemiro off. You could have done something in the midfield. I think the subs were poor. in a game where we were really poor in the second half. I mean, I think Ahmad's goal is fantastic. And Ahmad didn't have a good game, but what a goal. And he had that other chance as well where they cleared it off the line.

5:49So keeping Ahmad on was a masterstroke. Some people wanted to take him off, but I was surprised by his lack of substitutes in that game, really. And I think Sean Dyche did a job on Amrind, to be fair. I'd have to watch it back again, but I feel like they were the better team by a long way, especially in the second half. And I think Deitch did a job on him. And he probably will feel a little bit unlucky tonight. I mean, I think we should be very happy with the point. It's not a loss in the context of the league. We're still in like fifth or sixth, so it's not the end of the world. But I look at the next three games and I go Spurs away next week becomes really hard now.

6:28I'm not as confident as I was yesterday. And then we've got Palace in a couple of games time away as well, which will be difficult. So we've got, you know, from being really positive 24 hours ago, I'm sort of sat there going, hmm, here's the roller coaster again, isn't it? Because it was problematic. But look, on Sesco, I just want to say we have a 6 '3", 6 '4 striker. I'm watching Forrest put crossers. I said this in the preview. Forrest are second in the league for putting crosses into the box and we're in the bottom half. We've got a 6 '4 striker and we don't put crosses in. obviously, I don't think Amrim wanted a striker that was big to put crosses in the box, but you've got one.

7:11Why can't we put crosses in the box? We're creating absolutely nothing from open play. Why not go down the wing and put a cross in the box for Sesko? We're not doing it. He's six foot five, apparently. Six foot five, and we refuse to put crosses in the box. I tweeted it in the first half, and everyone in the chat was on about it in the second half. I know he didn't have a good game, but in a game like that against a low block, put a bloody cross in the box. Give him half a chance at least. So I thought that was disappointing that we didn't do that. The midfield was abysmal. I think if you are somebody that doesn't rate the midfield, today was a day where you can bathe in, I told you so, sauce, because the midfield was bad today.

7:58Like there was so much space in our midfield. Luke Shaw didn't step into it like he did last week. Kunia and Mbermo were playing too far away from it. And there was just loads and loads of space. And when you look at Balaba's audition last week and you look at Anderson this week, that's what an audition is. And I'm not saying that Anderson was auditioning for a move to Manchester United. I just think he was the best midfielder on the pitch by a very long way. His passing, his tackling, his energy. He was streets ahead of anybody, whether it was a Forest midfielder or a Man United midfielder. He was really good.

8:32So midfield struggled today. I mean, I'll talk about Deleuze when we do the player ratings because that's on Amorim. Definitely. Jay says toxic fan base. no i i i i look we we we like i say we're live every night at eight o 'clock every morning at 10 o 'clock make sure you subscribe and get involved for the last two weeks we have a very fair conversation here i i love the shows that we do and i've always said the amrim out crew they're not castigated they're not villainized here's golf legend john daly hell yeah these wins are piling up faster than my divorces. I only spent on Moto, America's social casino.

Moto Casino America's social casino Why would you beat Amrim in just because he's beaten Brighton and Sunderland and Liverpool? And I've said on many a show, if you're Amrim out, talk to us, tell us what you're thinking.

9:47And very few people have. Now we've drawn a game, they're all back again. And I would say, well, why weren't you saying all this before? Because these results were always going to happen. I don't think you can be Amrim out because we've drawn 2-2 against Nottingham Forest. I just see it as a missed opportunity. I'm disappointed because if that had been a really good game and we'd draw 2-2, I don't think anyone would have a problem. But what bothers me about that is I think it reflects on the players again. They beat Brighton, it's all Instagram and everything and that's fine. But that performance today, as we're going to see in the player ratings, it's just a missed opportunity.

10:27I'm disappointed. And Amorim made mistakes today. Delo is a massive mistake. And it's been a mistake for weeks. And at least he rectified it by bringing Dorgue on. He should have made more attacking subs, of course. And the second half, but it must be really difficult as a manager when you're 1-0 up at half time, you have your team talk, and within five minutes, you're 2-1 down. You must be there going, what is it I've said? Well, he hasn't said anything, has he? He'll have done everything right. He'll have said the right things, then they go out and completely fuck it up. So I think the disappointing thing for me is that maybe for the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking, why can't we get top four?

11:09Playing like this, why can't we get top four? But then in the second half, I said it a couple of times, it was the same as Brentford. Inexplicable. It reminded me of the Brentford first half. We were the second best team on the pitch for about 40 minutes and they're a bottom three team and they were better than us. And back to reality, says Cameron. And that's the problem. It's like, I can't defend that second half from Man United because it was not very good. And the players like Mbermo and Kunja, who are new players that we really like, it's concerning when you watch them struggling because you go, oh my God, here we go.

11:45They're getting dragged down to the levels that we see from everybody else. So a draw is a good result for United because that Ahmad goal was a worldie and without it, we lose. So we've got to take the positives of a point and we're still unbeaten. And I'm sure that's what Amron will say. But beyond the positivity of a point, I think we've all got a right to sit here and go, what a missed opportunity that was. And why at 1-0? It's the weak mentality thing that bothers me. If we'd played shit all game and got a last minute equaliser, you'd take that and go, well, we were rubbish all game. But to put ourselves in a position where were 1-0 up at half-time and then bottle it.

12:23That's my problem. We've bottled that in the second half. We've completely and utterly bottled that by not turning up. And it's that old problem again, isn't it? Just when you think you're taking a step forward, Mr. Inconsistency and Light Switch FC turn up again. They're just... Leopards can't change their spots. You can't trust this United side. That's the problem. You can't trust it. Really, all week, we should be motivated and ready to go for 90 minutes against the team in the bottom three where we're going to go second in the league and nothing else should matter. Because that's how you've been talking all week.

13:00And then I watch that set of second half 45 minutes and I go, they just don't have the minerals, do they? They don't have that mentality. Luke Shaw in the first half looked really good. In the second half, he was crap. Like there's so many Jackal and Hyde performances there today. It's incredible. But I don't understand why they switched off in the second half. But when you look at the last few years, you do understand it because that's what happens. Inexplicably, we always have these Brentfords, these results like today. We just can't shake them off. We are. We can beat anybody on our day and we can lose to anybody on our day.

13:40And it's frustrating because it's a missed opportunity. And I think that if we'd won today, we would have been on that gravy train of we can get Champions League football. And I think having drawn today, a lot of us will look at it and go.

It's a reality bite we didn't want at the end of the day, isn't it? Hard to beat a team away with a new manager, says Ruffio. True audition was from Dorgo. better than Deleuze, says Ruffio. True addition, sorry, from Ankit. Disappointing, but a bit of realism never hurt.

14:47Champions League qualifications, a long road. We were looking at league tables like it was the last weeks of the season. I don't think we should dwell on it, says Nick P. The crowd that wants to sack a manager every time we don't win has done as much damage to the club as the Glazers. We have to stop that and be patient, says Jose. We still need players, so we should be happy with a draw. Our top priority is midfield, says Reckon guy. Can you mention about lack of attacking subs, says Salah. Yeah, we've done that. Deleuwe was the death of Ten Hag and he's going to be the death of Amrim, says Paddy.

15:14Cobby gets five minutes here and there, but he's expected to be perfect. Yet Deleuwe or Bruno can put in stinkers with no consequences, says Meadow Road. Deleuwe and Sesko were shit, says United Star. The old Goldbridge Derby, says Alex. Although I'm disappointed about today, we've taken 10 points from the last four games, says Kev. See the positives. Guk says, Amrim is not a good coach. How do we play so poor against the bottom of the league team? There are no patterns. Anderson gives me keen vibes, says Andy. Result isn't the end of the world, says Jack. We would have lost that last year. I don't like the manager, but not winning today is on the players, says Shaheen.

15:47How can you concede two goals in four minutes? Completely agree. Poor lad, never getting his hair cut, says Ben, a gamer. Elliott is the real deal. Buy him before anyone else, says Ashim. Terrible subs and game plan, says Jarkaz. Deitch inverted after their first 10 minutes and midfield got bossed. We struggled because our midfield is weak and slow and Deleuwe is a passenger. Amrim has to start changing things up, says Emily Derry. Performance was sloppy, no intensity and a lack of penetration, says Patrick Lynch. How does he only bring on two defenders in that game, says Jonesy. Delo is crap, says Supreth.

16:19Andy Cheatham says, mark complacency. What is the obsession of Delo, says Andy Cheatham. Delo isn't good enough, says Aldo. And my biggest issue is that our football is way too basic. And also Amrim making weird subs all the time. It's not really the only team that's inconsistent, but Amrim too, says Marlow. I don't think it's that bad. Forest away is a hard games as Recon guy, especially with Sean's style of play. United Strand, always cry. Weakest player in every witness. I don't know what that is for me. I'm going to do the player ratings. Don't forget to get involved. You can do that by registering every week.

16:51It's for free. Register once and then you can do it every week. Yeah, I just want to pick up on a few of those chats there. I think our style of play is a problem today. I think Deitch dealt with it and we didn't have a plan B. we were still trying to transition really quickly I understand that's probably because the midfield isn't very good but we only had one way of playing today and Sean Dyche knew how we were going to play and he dealt with it yeah Amorim we can't just be direct FC he's got to utilise crosses into the box as well has to do that let's go through the player ratings make sure you smash a like and subscribe by the way we've got fan forum straight after it'll be interesting to see what people have got to say I'd say a six for Le Mens today.

17:38I don't really feel he had a lot to do, but as a goalkeeper, he's conceded two goals. I don't think he could do anything on either of them. But yeah, I mean, just a back to reality performance, I suppose it was okay. Same for Jorah. I thought he was a six as well. I don't blame him for any of the goals. De Ligt, I would give a 6.5. He was my man of the match. Very unlucky to be part of that defence, really, because both goals have got nothing to do with him. And I think he's, you know, I think he's playing really, really well at the moment. Very dominant performance. Luke sure had a good first half.

18:10And then second half, I thought he just fell off, you know, so I'd give him a six. Ahmad, I think you've got to give him a 6.5 for the goal. It was absolutely brilliant. But obviously... Here's golf legend, John Daly. Hell yeah, these wins are piling up faster than my divorces. I only spent on Moto, America's social casino. You know, I've won a couple of majors.

18:43Moto Casino is a social casino. What we're prohibited, no purchase necessary. Visit Moto.us for more details. Moto Casino, America's social casino. I don't know why people are blaming Ahmad for the first goal, by the way. He can't grow five inches. like we've spoken about this so many times if Ahmad's on the back post and a team put a big player on him and then they put across to the back post that's going to be a problem that that's a problem with Ahmad at right wing back it's um we almost have to accept it the goal from him is brilliant but if you play him as a right wing back there will be times where teams exploit that and Deitch certainly will it's just the fact that you what what are you going to do drop Ahmad and play someone who's six foot.

19:27He's small. It's just one of those. Casemiro got the goal, but I thought the midfield was poor. So I'd give him a six. Bruno, 5.5 for me. I thought that was... I actually think for who he is and the game that is, and the thing that's around his arm, I would have expected a better performance from him in that midfield. I thought Gibbs White was better than him. Anderson was better than him. Casemiro was better than him. So, you know, in that midfield area, he's not even in the top three midfielders on the pitch. So I would expect better from Bruno Fernandes in a game like that, to be fair. Too many long balls as well.

20:12I know that's what he's in the midfield for, but sometimes I just want us to get the ball and keep possession and not constantly look to change the play. Deleuze, four. I mean, the thing about Deleuze, I want to say very, very, very quickly, is that he has been bad for weeks. Against Liverpool, he was bad. Against Brighton, he was bad. I can't remember the Sunderland game. And today he was bad. He's been being picked because Amrim likes him. He's been being picked because he's one of Amrim's favourites. And he's been being picked because we won three games in a row. That's fine. If we keep winning, you can't moan about it.

20:49But he's not been playing well in those performances. So Amrim obviously saw that problem and subbed him off. But the second goal is on him. And they nearly scored two others because of him. There was one on the back post where he got beat in the air twice. Milinkovic as well in the first half. Deleuze has a great attitude and I'm sure he's a nice lad. But this is high level football and he ain't good enough. Certainly not as a left wing back. I don't even think he's good enough at right wing back, but not as a left wing back. That's got to stop. That has to stop now because the second goal, he's got to clear that and he doesn't.

21:22He gets beaten in a 50-50. And, you know, it could have been a very different game if we hadn't gone 2-1 down. So, you know, that's just got to stop now. That's all I'm going to say. Embermo, probably a six today. Same with Cunha. Sesco, I'd say a five. Yeah, the front three. This is why I would have made changes today. Like, this is why I would have made changes. Six from Casemiro, 5.5 from Bruno, six from Embermo, six from Cunha, Five from Sesko. Why are Serksi, Mount, Mainu not getting on the pitch? You know, everybody underperformed. Masraoui was poor when he came on. Dorgue, I think, did quite well.

22:02And then Amrim for me, I'd probably give him... It's hard with Amrim today. Ahmad has rescued a point. The team have fell apart at the second half. The first half was equal. The second half, they were better and he's not made changes. So it's got to be a five. It's got to be a five. Yeah. First half, I'd give him a 6.5. Second half, five. So he's somewhere between five and a 5.5 for me. Second half, don't really get what the plan was. I felt like after 20 minutes, when it was 2-1, nothing was any different from when we'd gone 2-1 down. I was like, why has he not made any changes? And realistically, it's only a worldie from Amrim that...

22:47It's only a worldie from Ahmad that's got us a point, isn't it? So 10 hours on my feet, traffic, noise, everybody needs something from me. My head is spinning. I just need the world to stop for one second. But then I get home, shoes off, phone out, and I open Modo Casino. Hundreds of slots, classic table games. It's my instant reset. The variety I want in the quiet I need. Modo Casino. The social casino board were prohibited. No purchase necessary. Visit Modo.us for more details. Download the Modo Casino app today. Must be 21 plus. Moto Casino. American Social Casino. Ahmad's rescued us there.

23:23We should see the positives. Man of the match for you was De Litz. I agree. Played very, very well. And to be honest with you, nobody else is anywhere near De Litz. There's just a load of shared points out there. player ratings just a missed opportunity for Manchester United tonight and it is back to reality 100 % back to reality but I'm going to have to go and watch that game again but in my opinion second half we fell off a cliff and we've not turned up and it's an Ahmad goal that's I mean And Ahmad was second on Man of the Match with 18%. He didn't have a good game, but he rescued us with a worldie.

24:14There's a lot of lessons there. If I was Amrim tonight, I'd be looking at the fact that Deitch dealt with my tactics very easily. I'd be looking at not making subs. I'd be looking at certain players who haven't performed again. If I was a player of Man United, I'd be like, why have I fell off? I think Deleu is a topic for conversation in the chat And that is obviously on the manager But he did sub him off But as I said I'm not going to individualise this We're 1-0 up at half time And we're 2-1 down after five minutes And we didn't do anything to get back into it Why are we not putting crosses into the box When we've got a 6-foot-5 striker?

24:56Why are we not creating chances from open play? Why are we still trying to transition With long balls against a team that's playing deep? with a low block? Why are we not mixing things up? Why are we not making subs? A lot of questions in that game, but the positive is it's a draw. Bit of pressure building towards Spurs next week now because we need to get a result against Spurs next week now. And I think it will be tough. I'm about to go and watch Spurs now on That's Football, but it'll be tough. Right. Let's get over to the Fan Forum, everybody. They've got their things to say as well. If you want to see me, there is no eight o 'clock show tonight because I'm watching Liverpool Villa on Mats Football and I'm about to watch Chelsea against Spurs as well.

25:38But the fan forum's there and I'm back here in the morning with a morning show as well. Thanks everyone for watching. Get yourself over to the fan forum. I'll speak to you on in a bit. I think ultimately that's a really good match reaction. It's a fair one. We've picked up on the constructive criticism. We've picked up on the positivity of getting a draw out of a game we could have lost. And the player ratings reflects what was a missed opportunity. And I think the players need to look at themselves and go, why did we fuck that up, basically? Thanks for watching. I'll speak to you in a bit.
