Returning to the initial setting, Man United had just been praised for their dramatic win over Aston Villa, but in front of Notthm Forest couldn't do much more than have to submit with a score of 2-1. What's wrong with this fight? Man United really can't predict the direction of their game, sometimes when they are in doubt they actually play well but on the other hand, when they are sure they can get 3 points against a weaker team the results are always surprising. For Notthm Forest, they have played an extraordinary game which is able to provide an important lesson to Erik Ten Hag that in the Premier League even weak clubs can be deadly weapons on the pitch. What made this match interesting was that the second goal was scored during a counter-attack carried out by Notthm Forest players, which was due to the contribution of former Man United himself namely Elanga, and he managed to open the way easily in the opponent's defense line when he was ready.
I think what we should ask ourselves is which of the results was rather expected and not a surprise? And for me the answer is that I did not expect Manchester United to win against Aston Villa whereas I thought they could loses the game against Nottingham Forest. Manchester United has those games sometimes where they leave people behind with questions, like they did against Aston Villa. But I doubt that they would make up for a two goal difference if they played that game against Aston Villa again. They don't have a standard performance where they can rely on. It is wild and one week they play like this and the next week they play like that. There is no consistency in their game.
After defeating Newcastle away by a really satisfying score they destroyed Manchester United home this time. Maybe 2-1 is not much of a destruction but I call it like that anyway when a much smaller team defeats one of top teams in a league.
