Not here for Lampard vs Bruno. I do think we've seen a glimpse of a proper role for Bruno. He gets some hate because he acts like a brat too often, and I observe that he's often too wasteful with opportunities. But I love his passion and desire for the club. I'd like to seem him along side...

When he dropped deep to pick up the ball and help with cutting passes, it seemed that we were able to unlock their defense. When passing around the back to Shaw and McGwire, we never found space. Too slow. Sabitzer looked good today.

Martial's injury record seems similar to the old Liverpool player Daniel Sturridge. Seemed to have potential to go to the next level but I think ether bad luck or more likely low pain tolerance led him to be unavailable so often during his career he just wasn't dependable enough for a top team...

I hope Sancho takes the RW and makes it his. Anthony doesn't show me the next level type awareness and vision to play there. Creativity isn't where it needs to be to link up with our other skilled players going forward. Anthony would be a decent depth at the position for the multiple...

Here's the guy that's always Anti-Martial.... saying, at least from watching just the highlights from the semi final, that was a good game for Martial. I enjoyed his touch and movement. I didn't see much as the highlights only really showed him touching the ball 4 or 5 times and a few times...

His presence in the side makes us a different level. His awareness is second to none. He almost always has a one touch play to relieve pressure. He's a winner, man I love having him.

I have a love hate relationship with Bruno. He's so wasteful sometimes and often it comes at the point of attack further frustrating me. He's also pouty and often doesn't track back to defend after the first missed tackle. On the positive side he plays with passion and loves the club. He is...

Respectfully disagree. He's just not a striker for a top team (which we aspire to be). It may have been passable to use him as a striker when we were mulling about in 8th. Back then, we knew significant investment into the side would be required to get us to a top 3 spot and likely that...

I don't see what our manager sees in him. I suppose he's the only one who vaguely fits the description of a striker. We link together 3-5 one touch passes with our much improved midfield (and even back line) just to send him a ball to give it away. I disagree with any post talking about his...

In an effort to be fair, not overly critical, but not a homer... I've tried to keep perspective on our performances over his tenure. And generally we've played the type of football that I want to see, pressing and attacking. Aggressive, quick aggressive counterattacking football as well...

I've thought Harry has been good for us generally. My 1 criticism of him has been he isn't great at distribution, tends to give the ball away a bit too easily BUT he's a solid if not very good defender that also WINS EVERYTHING in the air. Until recently, now he's made some poor decisions and...

I thought Bailly was our best defender as well. He's so athletic and likely we'd need to accept the good with the bad with him as I don't think he's world class potential due to lack of polish, but he is likely the most physical, strongest, most aggressive, quickest, fastest player on the line...

It'll be this. Ole in survival mode. De Gea Bailly Varane Maguire AWB McFred Shaw Bruno Ronaldo Rashford Thinking 532 will be the way forward. Likely most fans will eventually disagree but frankly if it keeps Antonio Conte from being our coach... i'm fine with it. I've hated watching...

Only got to see highlights yesterday but I agree with everyone's sentiments. Need to try Cavani up top with Rash and Ronaldo wings.

Ronaldo is such a hard worker, over the course of a season, we'll benefit from his constant workrate. What do I mean by this? Every second it seems he's making little 4 yard runs testing to see if a ball can be played into him. Always looking to be dangerous. Always looking to stay on side...
