General skill wise yes, %effort, not really. Though Shef Utd also have the same ability to switch off in defence

I went to the Shef Utd match today. Chelsea looked like a different/worse team than against us

Exactly. Rashford (apart from his wonder goal) has not taken his opportunities and should have stayed on his feet v Walker. Maybe that wouldn’t have led to Foden scoring.

I’m exhausted just watching this game! Is it just me, watching on tv, but Garnacho seems overwhelmed by big games? I’m hoping he’s going to prove me wrong but he keeps giving the ball away and doesn’t seem sharp enough when he’s defending.

Oh. I thought she’d mentioned (on the radio) over the years that she was a United fan so thought she was a real one.

Has Zoe Ball been mentioned yet?

It’s almost like if you are going to cock something up you may aswell do it in style! Which we appear to be doing :(

From last nights first half I presumed they’ve not graduated to the ‘pass forward and run into space’ lesson yet.

At the game last night and I wonder how other teams seem to have so much energy going forward, compared with us. Especially in the first half when it was like a return to the Butch Wilkins school of pass backwards, or sideways. There just seems no desire to move at any speed into spaces for a...

I agree. I have had membership for quite a few years and could usually get a ticket unless City or Liverpool. This was easier when you could do it by phone. Today is the first time I’ve been able to get tickets this season. Every time I tried I was in a queue thousands long and missed out...

I agree. I think Bellingham is not only a great footballer but also seems a nice young fella who has his head screwed on and can see that United isn’t the best place to come at the moment.

Yes, definitely. I think we should have played him up front at times last season when we struggled scoring. He obviously has a goal scorers instinct as shown by his Scotland performances. Even had he not scored I don’t think he would have been worse than the alternatives. I don’t understand...

RIP Lady Ferguson. A very sad time for all her family. She’s been a massive part of the Man Utd history. As other have said already, I don’t think that Sir Alex would have achieved so much without her support. My condolences to their family.

What I didn’t understand at the end of last season when we were lacking support for Rashford up front is why we didn’t just try McTominay up there, starting a match. His goals for Scotland at least show he has goal scoring capabilities. Some of them may have been against less strong teams but...
