Pata

Good performance and loved the way we came out after the anemic first half. West Ham are a canny team and it was heartwarming to see how dominant we were at their place. Did enough to win so coming away with just a point is disappointing but it also could've been much worse if some key decisions went against us (like Bruno potentially getting sent off and some soft freekicks given by the terrible ref). Should have a much healthier squad after the international break and things are looking good. Paqueta is really good like, rare to see someone with so much talent on the ball and still so strong on duels, should stop with all the diving though. Kudus had a sensational cameo too, ridiculous that Moyes starts Soucek ahead of him.

Really good performance. Bowen was mostly quiet, had a few decent efforts at goal and played a lovely through ball to Isak.

Much more involved in the second half after swapping sides with Longstaff. Didn’t see much wrong, no idea what all the criticism is about.

Rashford’s decision-making lets him down, he has pretty much all the tools to be on the same level as someone like Mbappe but simply isn’t. Also think he lacks bravery and determination, if things aren’t going his way he becomes a lazy whiner.

Aye, all the stats draw a really wrong picture of how the match really went.

Commentators on Finnish TV were astounded by the atmosphere, sounded amazing on TV. Well done to everyone who had a ticket and obviously Wor Flags.

If he's happy stay as a back up, we should be offering him a new contract as a 4th or 5th choice CB. Flawless performance against those forwards, stunning really.

Must have screamed at Murphy to give the ball back to him as he really wanted to get that shot off based on his movement after he nicked it.

Getting his mojo back with the ball and is again strong in the possession with tireless running. The run for the goal is clever and he did well hitting the target from that angle. Definitely badly underrated and should get a call up if he keeps performing like this.

So happy for him, hearing him say in the interview post match how he told his dad that the NUFC dream is over after the takeover and here we are, real stuff of dreams. Had a real good game defensively too.

That was a real 11/10 performance. Absolutely outstanding.

Keep getting these weird bursts of laughter with tears in my eyes.

We are fucking amazing!

Mike Dean already had the hair pull controversy when he didn’t want to upset his mate and then quit doing VAR duties iirc. Lee Mason was on VAR for the disallowed Willock incident against Crystal Palace, ex-referees are just as incompetent.

You should join us in year 2023. Dyche is at Everton now and they have Kompany.

Those first touches will be an asset when he gets used to the pace. He’s always trying to create space for himself with his first touch but so far he often ends up in crowded spaces or not realising how close the opponent is to him. In Serie A he had more time and space in midfield, just needs to adjust.

Really impressive. Everyone knows he’s good going forward but that was a monstrous defensive performance. Wondering if he could be an option as a DM.

That was a class performance. Kept it tight first half and played really well on second. Bruno transformed our midfield and Tino and Joelinton were amazing. Not scared of Man Utd at all, we’ll beat them.

Calm down ffs.

Botman missed one game and Schär has played in all of them. Lascelles also RCB so IMO more likely that Botman plays and Schär gets a rest.

I don’t think there’s going to be that much rotation, no way the likes of Ritchie and Dummett start IMO. It will be a mixture of players who haven’t played much yet with the freshest regulars. Dubs Livramento Lascelles Botman Targett Tonali Anderson xxxxx Almiron Murphy Isak Something like that.

Colo’s close control and technique was the best I’ve ever seen from a CB. Schär is obviously good on the ball too but his long passing can be a bit hit and miss, glorious ball played is often followed by one that’s nowhere near the target. Hope Schär has many years left on the top level, he’s been magnificent since the takeover.
