    This ref seems to be one of those 'non-contact' ones.

    Not sure Jonny Evans’ falling down trick will work every time. Need to keep on him.

    He looks familiar and I have a mental impression of him being one of the better ones. Not that that necessarily contradicts your point.

    Forest have played well without really threatening. Maybe its Man Us defending that has been pretty good restricting us to not having a shot on target. I think I would be a happy with a point but a bit of skill up front could take three points.

    Excellent work by Wood, pulling Johnny Evans into a position where he played Montiel onside in the build up to the goal.

    Makes a save, then we break straight away and score.

    Only saying.

    "Ooh, good save Turner"

    ...but I know, we only count mistakes.

    Except that's not true. His ability between the posts is consistently excellent. His ability with the ball at his feet is consistently awful. It is possible, reasonable even, to accept both positions, and have to make a decision as to whether one outweighs the other. In the Premier League I think it's difficult to argue that it can.

    Yes, I agree. Perfectly fine goalkeeper. Not a midfielder. We should recognise what he can do, and what he can't, and set up around that...because he's (currently) the best keeper we have on the books. I just find the notion that a keeper should never make any mistakes...in a world with plenty of evidence to the contrary all around us, completely baffling.

    Don't throw the baby out with the bath water...and support, rather than moaning, will be more likely to help.I'm not against getting another one...but the keeper at the other end today highlights some of the hazards in that. I'd take keeper, over midfielder, in a goalkeeper. Personally.

    Onana is fucking bobbins. Came in as a sweeper keeper and he’s no better than Turner. Turner at least is a shot stopper, that clown? No idea.

    What a colossal spunkage of cash. And Antony? What is that? Man Utd make the Tories look prudent.

    And I agree with that, but I would like to see us change the way we play so he's under a little less pressure to play the ball. Unfortunately in the Premier League there will be times that he has to, and it's not just that he has a rick in him - 50% or more of his attempts to kick the ball in those circumstances give the ball directly back to the opponent in incredibly dangerous positions, and teams will play to create those situations now they know he's so calamitous at them. So it's definitely a problem.

    Thought it interesting that Aina, who is no great defender, comfortably put him in his pocket today.
