This is just complete nonsense.Shite football, worse than we ever were under Moyes or LvG.

Exactly. Denis Law didn't miss a chance, either, so he is a better player than Martial.Lost the ball less times than Bruno, ergo is the better player.
The home matches have been just as bad as LVG tbh.This is just complete nonsense.
You have to play to rules governing your game, though and Johnstone didn't - he transgressed again on the 2nd attempt (similar to De Gea v Brighton) and I held my breath until I could see the ref wasn't going to order a second retake.Just saw the penalty and its ridicilous. This poxy rule that favours the tanker over the keeper needs to stop. How is a keeper supose to make a save on such a big goal? It's not futsal ffs. And let's not forget we were on the wrong side of that rule against Crystal Palace this season when Ddg made a similar save to the Wba keeper. Happy we won though.
Yep. Go along with all that.Cavani in his brief moments looks like a proper 9
Martial needs to learn from him in terms of movement and guile up there.
We need much more from most of the squad.
Cavani should start the next game. He's ready
in terms of the game plan it was oddYep. Go along with all that.
If we are being honest, it was a pretty awful team performance. So lacking in confidence.
And yet again, it was difficult to see what the game plan was. The result does matter of course. But we were quite fortunate, and that against a poor West Bromwich side.
Won't somebody please think of the children!!!!The guy is a criminal
We scored 27 goals at home under van Gaal in his last season! We lost more games away than we won. It was a complete shitshow.The home matches have been just as bad as LVG tbh.
We’ve scored once from open play in 5 home games and we’ve conceded 10 goals, winning only once. It’s much more of a shit show at the moment at home. Away we are much better than we were under LVG.We scored 27 goals at home under van Gaal in his last season! We lost more games away than we won. It was a complete shitshow.
Besides chances too.We struggled vs the worst team in the league and besides possession they probably deserved a result.
These statistics from Squawka sum up our problem this season.We’ve scored once from open play in 5 home games and we’ve conceded 10 goals, winning only once. It’s much more of a shit show at the moment at home. Away we are much better than we were under LVG.
We've only played 5 home games in the league so far, we've also beaten RB Leipzig 5 nil. The argument about goals from open play doesn't really mean much, rule changes mean penalities are now a huge part of the game whether we like it or not.We’ve scored once from open play in 5 home games and we’ve conceded 10 goals, winning only once.

Cavani showed more movement in his first ten/fifteen minutes on the pitch than Martial had done all the match to that point.Cavani in his brief moments looks like a proper 9

Well, they didn’t get a penalty, routine leg save and shot from 25 yards. At no point did I feel like they were going to score.What about their penalty, the De Gea leg save and the woodwork?
This needs to become a thing.Cavani and The Bake need to start. It's madness to keep overlooking them.
Agree for the most part.I just had a chance to watch and I thought we looked good in the 1st half. Lots of one-touch passing, good movement, and good chances. When your best chances fall with Martial and Rashford you just never know what you will get and that hurt us. It should have been 2-0 at the half and then we cruise to victory.
The 2nd half was very dire. We got the goal and didn't really try to get a second and used the least amount of energy to secure the win.
Cavani should start as striker. Martial is resorting to his play from recent years where he thinks he is best player on the pitch and wants to show it by giving the least effort. "See how good I am and I'm not really trying." A perfect example is the last corner and short pass to Martial. He didn't even try to shield the ball while stretching out his legs. Instead he stood up straight thinking he could use some trickery to keep the ball. He lost it and we went back on defense.
Huge revisionism or forgetting the past.Shite football, worse than we ever were under Moyes or LvG.
What? We are way worse now than we were under lvg and even moyes.We've only played 5 home games in the league so far, we've also beaten RB Leipzig 5 nil. The argument about goals from open play doesn't really mean much, rule changes mean penalities are now a huge part of the game whether we like it or not.
Edit: that's not to say it's good enough, it's absolutely fecking not. I think I'm just scarred from the LvG and Moyes days and refuse to believe it could ever get that bad again. For me we aren't there yet.
Well, if you're top of the League with record breaking points, this type of winning doesn't really matter, does it?We’ve broken our duck in the home vs WBA fixture which is more important than anything and the 3 points withstanding means Ole needs some credit for getting this over the line.
If this was Liverpool last years some people would be misty eyed and saying this is the type of result / performance that wins you titles
I see your point but we've not produced any noteworthy performances in the last few games. There is zero consistency and our manager (despite his all round positivity) doesn't seem to imbue confidence that he knows what he is doing.We’ve broken our duck in the home vs WBA fixture which is more important than anything and the 3 points withstanding means Ole needs some credit for getting this over the line.

completely agree with you mate. The drama from some of the fans on here is laughable.This is just complete nonsense.
Why? He's talking about the EPL. Are you saying the EPL does not have players of quality? Is someone twisting his words again?The guy is a criminal
Because we have many games, and want to have a chance to win them.Meh.
How the fcuk is Van de Beek not starting?
We are just treading water under Olé.
At best.
