Take a shot every time the MUTV commentator mentions how great the grounds and facilities are in the surrounding areas, meanwhile we are playing in a farmers field.

Apart from the pitch condition and the kit clash how are we playing for those not watching
United in good control, playing a very high line.
Attacking mostly on the left, Shaw/Rashford/Martial involved, Sancho and Dalot not really. VdB still looking for his place on that pitch.
Not many chances so far

Jadon Sancho is getting me very excited for this season, looks physically sharp and hungry, ready to do great things.

Lots of players involved in build up

Very well worked

Only vdb I think didn’t get touch every other player had a role

Midfield remains our biggest issue, Fred has been played into trouble too many times by Van de Beek and Lindelof. Bruno can't seem to get comfortable with the ball, a handful of strange decisions and bad passes. Van de beek's movement is unhelpful, and his passes over weighted. Fred is our best midfielder at the moment.

We could also do with a striker with aerial ability, Martial has done well, but he lacks the physicality to dominate in the box.


Good goal though, Sancho :devil:

Get in. All about that overlapping run from Shaw. I'm not sure that run a) gets made and b) gets picked out last season. Brilliant team goal.

Watching us under Ten Hag, you have to ask what the feck was Rangnick up to with these same group of players?
Ajax level coaches vs MLS coaches. Rangnick himself is probably fine as a coach .. but he also only had an interim title, shitshow of a squad, the Greenwood thing happening etc. He never had a chance.

Bigger question is Ole or Mourinho before him

My wit's end
Rashford's weight of passing has been very good so far in this match. Good play from Shaw and Sancho as well.

Good play. Rashford and Shaw did well.

Fancy Sancho to score 10-15 in the league.
