Maguire has been good.
I don’t have any concerns about him playing in games like this. His decision making is probably the best we have.Yet everyone wants him gone ... curious
Baby steps! At this rate we might actually give Chelsea a game... (when we play them next February...)Well yeah that's what I alluded to in my response. It's 'decent' by virtue of the fact that we don't look like a Sunday league team playing their first game together. But it's still like absolutely nowhere near good enough. If this is the best we can muster up then the next 4 games will be painful.
VDB is the one that I want to see. Would love to see how he and Bruno in the same 11 could work.Tweet

He hates us. Only reason he joined City. Been bitter ever since he leftOwen Hargreaves pundit on the channel I'm watching. Does he hate United?
Tony Adams was more positive about United's performance. That says a lot.
Nah Im winding you up. United will win 3-1. I know what you mean though, the gloom here is suffocating. 'Can't believe we need Fred and McT to look solid, shows where we are'...
there are certain players he likes, I think he’s a supporter of OGS - but generally he hates us with a passion.He hates us. Only reason he joined City. Been bitter ever since he left
Not watching game but it was interesting to see you say United were playing with a 'good tempo'. This is what, in my opinion, we've been lacking. Whether it's Fred and Scott for Pogba and Matic i'm not sure, but a United team, as far back as I can remember, has always played with a quick tempo, and always went forward with pace, it will be great if we can play something like that.Decent half. Following the own goal by Shaw, we reacted well and played some decent stuff. Good tempo, got into good areas, etc.
Going into the second half, if we can be a bit better in the final third regards decision making, then we should win this.
What the hell? First time in a quite few games our midfield is dominating opposition and you want to brake it?Get Fred off for Pogba
what is wrong with Greenwood ?
I guess you have noticed the quick passing and interchanges? What do you want to see?I disagree with the notion that we're playing "well".
Possession does not mean we're playing well. 13 shots and yet this is incredibly dull to watch.
Also, how many of those shots belong to Dan James?
Nope, he's a left back.Telles at LW instead of James?
Bad idea or not?
So do IVDB is the one that I want to see. Would love to see how he and Bruno in the same 11 could work.
Really, midfield looks the most balanced so far. Bring Pogs on and watch the amount of space Newcastle get.Get Fred off for Pogba
what is wrong with Greenwood ?
A superhero that’s really fast followed by the other word for riverAny decent river, mine are poop.
He has the worst greed/quality ratio I remember at UnitedJames is a chameleon
Absolutely notRashford could have had a penalty.
Yes, it sort feel like the performance isn't actually much better than those in the other three, just that Newcastle have been so poor.I disagree with the notion that we're playing "well".

We were clearly sent out to get at them and be aggressive. You can't really blme Lindelof for that so far into their half.Lindelof was spun too easily, needs to either win it or commit the foul there. Fernandes, James, Rashford and Mata have all looked bright. So like usual, decent going forward, shambles at the back.
Surprised Bruce hasn't really got them in our faces. Glad he hasn't but you'd have thought they'd have come out all guns blazing with the start to the season we've had.
We looks better at pressing the ball without Pogba. Fred and McT have protect the defense really well. James has a good game but VdB on would be better.Sadly (is it?) I'm not watching cos of work. Just following online. So who does Pogba need to come in for to ensure we win the game second half? Or is it Greenwood/VDB? Or are we doing enough to ensure that already?
Newcastle are piss poor. Ya let’s leave things as they are with 2 midfielders that can’t create.What the hell? First time in a quite few games our midfield is dominating opposition and you want to brake it?
Spot on. He gave the ball away with his first touch and then got spun like an amateur which allowed them to counter and led to the goal.Lindelof was spun too easily, needs to either win it or commit the foul there. Fernandes, James, Rashford and Mata have all looked bright. So like usual, decent going forward, shambles at the back.

He's, um, the, er, Dutch looking one? I think.So do I
What does he look like again? Remind me
Yeah, he’s been very assured on the ball and keeping it simple, hopefully he plays himself into some form.Maguire has been good.
Fred has broken up play okay but hai passing has been awful.Pleasantly surprised by that to be honest.
James was good imo, just has no end product. Mata, despite being ancient is still the only player in our team with real footballing IQ besides Bruno. Fred and McTomminay both very solid and did what a bloody CM is supposed to do.
Payed close attention to Maguire and he was immense all game. Watch closely now as i jinx him and he makes a howler in the 2nd
