Sure Barca were after Gomes at one point. Would just be us to lose him while holding on to such old crap.

The fluidity in our play with the kids coming on is just what we are looking for. Ole needs to put his neck on the line and begin considering the youngesters instead of the old dross that has been failing us for years. Gomes, James, Tuanzebe and Greenwood have all looked excellent since coming on, and they've looked excellent every time they've been given an opportunity.

Gomes is like a Messi light. His centre of gravity is so low he can turn on a sixpence. He gives us so much more than Mata does!
Was thinking the exact same. Mata will play minutes that Gomes should have this season & honestly it’s unforgivable.

He spent time outside of the squad under Jose & this time/opportunity is vital in his development.
Axel is way to good to go back out on loan
If given a fair chance he’ll be partnering Maguire by season end. Lindelof is a catastrophe.

Honestly I think Maguire tuanzebe could be awesome. Lindelof still looks wobbly at times. Tuanzebe has that Rio - like calmness.
Agreed. I’m all for that, I’m not 100% sold on Lindelof either.

Exactly. The first half lineup should be ashamed of themselves watching how those kids improved our attacking play.

Young can only play with James on the wing.

His pace has mad more than one of Young’s typical over/under hit & miss placed passes look better than they were.

The team that ended the match with AWB and martial / Rashford should start against Chelsea.

Hopefully pogba is fit.

Will be disappointed if Gomes and Greenwood do not get proper game time this season. Particularly Gomes, since he will be gone next season if he doesn't play.

Liking James since he came on. His wing play and final balls were pretty good. Seems to work for him firing it into an area a la Giggs, instead of trying to pick a man out.

With all the praise we are giving the kids, Lingard has been excellent since coming on.

Clear as day that we should be stopping using first team space on the likes of Mata and Matic.
