Theregulars

1 real chance for either side, 2 penalties denied for us vs 1 for you, the troglodyte Casemiro and the even more troglodyter troglodyte Fernandes both should have been off. Fair result with Newcastle shading it on balance.

The drop off from starters to subs is absurd. We've conceded them the game with 15 minutes left because Wilson can't play 90. Wood is a non-entity.

This always happens when we make subs - we just stop functioning as a competitive entity. Desperate for a real squad.

Requirement to satisfy paying customers in Asia

Longstaff is maddening

Our final ball has been dross today.

Ugh, that's the game conceded then.

Sorry to bang on but I’m so fed up of referees shafting us at that shithole. Absolutely a penalty.

I think to add context he also complemented our shape, so it was more in a “looks like a good match” vibe.

Surely Eriksen features in their best XI?

I think Joelinton drops back towards the left to help burn against Antony.

It’s so we can play 3-5-2 in possession

Not sure I agree, team looks decent and balanced to me. One blow is no ASM, otherwise think it’s a good line-up. Fuck them and theirs.

Isn’t this like one player out from the team you said would win?

My biggest regret is no ASM. I think he would have made Dalot look even more ordinary than he usually looks. Shelvey on the bench is lovely, come on and avarakedavra one top bins.

Won’t be much longer that it’s a huge problem, we’ll have a fuller squad soon.

So frustrating just when we seemed to be moving towards a full squad. Oh well.

I think more they’ll probably buy another attacker, having now seen proof that both Wilson and ASM can’t be relied on, and that Isak hasn’t really got going. Could be wrong but I’ve a feeling Maddison’s England snub will lead him to blame Leicester and he’ll agitate for a transfer.

I think Hope is probably a decent guy but he writes for the journalistic equivalent of the love child of the Death Star and the third reich. Nothing written in that poison well is it worth your, my or our time.

Well with World Cup break and January we’ve got plenty of time to set it right!

Same here, my brother (34, never been to old Trafford) thinks his beloved Red Devils will walk it. Bruno “mediocre” and Howe “an overrated school teacher”.

You truly are the board’s very own analrapist, that’s fair.

I think there’s probably something in it to do with the intensity of the training and gametime, it’s quite clear that it’s the key message. You’d think if it continues much longer they’re going to need to change it. Extremely frustrating but all clubs having similar with a packed schedule I suppose.

Bigger blow than it might otherwise have been because I don’t think Dalot is up to much, would have fancied ASM. Murphy it is, got to hope he keeps it up. Would have been nice having Isak to have a go there. We’ve really got no luck with injuries this year.

Not as scary as that sentence
