Ronaldo

No. We had 10 points from our first 5.

We’re just can’t create. Can see it getting massively better than this, sadly.

Just one of those games where need more talented footballers to make something happen.

And 2 1/2 games without scoring. So we’re not as free flowing. Disclaimer: not complaining.

Was Willock always this easy to press and clumsy with the ball?

Burnt that size and needing to hold someone nearly a foot shorter is mental, like. Just win the ball.

What on earth are you nutters watching?

Because there’s no contact?

Firepower off the bench. Harvey Barnes, Lascelles and Elanga.

Doesn’t really work like that does it though, given the inflation of transfer fees since then. We got Owen for £16m a year later. As much as I hate the little twat what would a player with his record at the age of 25 cost now?

And play who in CM instead? Miley will get murdered by their intensity.

He’s a brilliant player and exactly what we needed. So disappointing.

That’s not remotely automated though is it. There’d be the same issues there are now with VAR determining shoulders and toes.

How the frig can a chip in the ball give you automated offside decisions?

Protecting him, yes. Gordon up front, no.

So we’re in agreement?

One thing I will say, as much as I completely agree with not starting Osula, we’ve played 5 games this season and correct me if I’m wrong, we’ve failed to score a single goal without a striker on the pitch, yet we’ve started without one 4 times out of the 5. Cannot happen again now we’ve got Woltemade and hopefully Wissa soon.

Director’s Box. They do really nice wings there too.

Yeah he was. As much as we laud swarming, swivelling / geeing up the crowd, and running through brick walls for the cause I’d absolutely love us to have a player like that - on a more realistic level obviously.

You can hardly criticise him for not playing Osula.

Harvey Barnes out of his depth against Barcelona. Profound. Thought he tried very hard. Just very obvious to that calibre of player what he’s going to do.

Yeah, I agree. He’s been dealt another bad hand with the striker situation.

Lots of really spirited performances. I don’t think we did too badly. Midfield battle was lost but Pedri is on a different level to our lot and looked it all night. Don’t particularly want to see that front 3 again but I’m sure we’ll have to unfortunately.

It takes 9 months for a player to settle in MLS now? Isn’t it more likely he’s just at the end of his career and struggling to make an impact without the same sharpness, athleticism and endurance?

I live here. My wife’s family are all Man U fans. I work with them. I’ve never heard a single one of them advocate the sacking of a manager since Moyes. They massively had ETH’s back and Amorim moreso. Ignore what rubbish you read from the weirdos not from Manchester.
