I don't watch Man United very often but Garnacho looks a very frustrating player to me (based on today). Very good in a one kn one situation and makes things happen but decision making and quality in the final third seemingly let him down. He seems a far more instinctive player.

It's actually criminal how many great positions he doesn't take advantage of. Be interesting to see if he figures it out.

It's really screwing things up for Hojlund big time. Neither wing creates quality chances for him, game after game.

Wednesday

He'll underestimate Newcastle on Wednesday and won't play the same way. I guarantee it. 

 

Amrabat has been poor this year but he was very good today essentially acting as a third centre back. Casemiro was nowhere near as exposed, but ultimately still made the mistake that led to the goal. 

 

We should be playing exactly the same against you. You're a better side and we need to give Casemiro the same protection and play on the counter. Fernandes in for McTominay today and we don't lose that game, maybe even win it. 

 

 

 

Yeah, that's exactly how I saw it.

Arsenal couldn't get any rhythm going at all. Amrabat in there helped closed up all those half spaces Arsenal love to operate in. He was also pretty good making himself available for the ball and popping it about.

I think the right role and setup this season would have seen you get better out of him.

Really hope you're right and ten Hag changes it for Tuesday, but I'm not so sure he will.

That roof  

State of that man 

Would be so epic if we go there and smash them on Tuesday.

He’s incredibly slow and gets walked past at times when he gets left one on one. But I also thought he played really well. 

Yeah, he's no world beater but he at least looks like he knows the position, and plays with some discipline.

They've played plenty games with either Eriksen or McTominay in that deeper role and they leave so many gaps.

Their midfield looked a lot more compact today. Not too thrilled about it tbh, with us going there on Tuesday.

Was hoping they'd persist with either Eriksen or McTominay deeper, alongside Mainoo, as it left them very open. Hence the 100s of shots they've been conceding.

I find Martinelli really irritating.

Never sees what's around him once he takes off running.

By all accounts, he's been utterly dreadful whenever he's played.

Has he? Seems like he's hardly been given a run. But maybe I haven't paid enough attention.

Their midfield has been over run all season. From what I've seen today, he's at least competitive in there and uses the ball pretty well.

Think Amrabat has been really good.

No idea why he's hardly been used this season, when he's been available.

Arsenal are so infuriating when you need them to get a result and you are watching them. 

Can never just get the job done in a manner you can just relax and enjoy the game.

I just figured out the Alicia Keys post too.

The Keys referring to piano keys, that are obviously like the black and white stripes.

Clever boy this Tosin lad 

Man, this is such good news. Especially as it says we are after Kelly too and that is progressing well.

Sorts out what would have been huge defensive issues going into next season, with two players that in my opinion will surprise people a lot.

Not surprised that the Olise news is coming up off the back of this too, as landing both Tosin and Kelly on a free, has likely meant we can go big on that right wing position as the main area to upgrade now.

Fantastic news if this all plays out as the article states.

Double it

£20 million would be a great deal for us.

He's 32, injury prone and going into the last year of his deal.

Wilson has been monitored by Saudi clubs since the end of last year.

There's recently been talk of offers of £20 million for him from clubs over there.

They will also pay him really well. I think that's where he'll end up.

Apparently the greater his returns, the larger his release clause gets.

Yeah, I saw that too.

He's finished the season too well now.

Earlier in the season when he wasn't doing as well I thought he might be a viable second striker option to develop further if Wilson left.

However, that ship has sailed. He'll get an opportunity to lead the line somewhere now. Looks like it will be AC Milan.

Linked with Liverpool 

Looking to offer £100 million supposedly.

We're down to one striker, and have got 3 games this week, and we're re playing again in a couple of days. Come on man.

His performance on Wednesday night will decide if Howe got this right or wrong today 

He was taken off because he's been ill this week.

Watching the disallowed goal again, and he has to hold his run a bit as he can see right across the line.

Barnes is delaying the pass so he can play it between the full back and centre back and have Almiron right in on goal with no opposition.

So unfortunate.

Finished the season off strong.

There'll be a lot more interest for him.

Hasn't been feeling well according to Howe, after the game, and so didn't want to push things with him, with the 3 games this week.

Once again, massively inconvenient the Callum Wilson situation. What a time to get injured again after just coming back after missing for months.

Gibbs White man ... my God how infuriating.

Forest are so thick man. 

Killing the clock with these stupid fouls.

Gibbs White forcing the issue too much late on. Wasted that counter opportunity.

Danilo is so useless man.

Awoniyi at last. Come on man. Don't let me down.
