Hang on, two weeks ago you were all saying Fernandes was the best player in the country and you had the most fearsome young attack in the league…

Pogba is… idk. he’s not suited to playing deep. he can still do great things further forward.

Rashford can and will get better.

it’s just the state of the team further back.

I believe the power of Nestor’s will alone will be enough to keep them in the clear.

Fernandes is great, Rashford/Martial/Greenwood is as good a front three as we could hope for.

it’s everything else that’s ropey af

Once (looks at injury list) Nemanja Matic is back, we’ll be fine.

Wouldn’t write us off defensively. Three of the back four that have only conceded 35 goals in 46 games with the most clean sheets etc (and that broadly tallied with the quality of chances we were giving up with xG).

Four of the goals we’ve conceded so far were away at Liverpool, and bar a dodgy 10-15 minutes we were comfortable today.

Sounds like we’re targeting another option in the transfer market and hopefully Rodrigo De Paul, who’d help a lot with giving us that midfield control we thrive on. A little lacking in that department without Hernandez and Forshaw, but hopefully both will be fit to play a part this season.

Can’t say I know loads about Koch but he’s a Germany international and hopefully not a Bundesliga wasteman. Could argue he was naive for both the penalties he’s conceded but also argue neither should’ve been given.

Heard talk of him on loan. Wouldn’t say no. Think he’s made that move way too early in his career - would he interesting to see how he’d have developed if he’d joined us 18 months ago. He’d be a much better player most likely.

Bale, Hammez, Thiago, Bielsa’s Leeds. This season’s going to be loads of fun imo.

Every chance Liverpool run away with it and Fulham/WBA are well adrift as the bottom two, but can imagine it’ll be competitive and open in between. Most sides have improved their squads imo, and still every chance the Manchester clubs will too before the window shuts.

Bring on Rooney

That’s a great save from DDG tbf

playing under somebody with tactical nous would have helped him a lot

Exactly. You can see all the raw attributes that people sat up and took notice of at Swansea but he still looks exactly that same player.
