He's great. Huge, fast, scary fucker.

Davies is frightening. Wasn't sure about the hype but he's class, just glides past folk with ease. Helps that Man Utd aren't marking him mind. Maybe no point.

Even Hojlund getting bullied. The two Bayern CBs are units. Always remember them having monstrous CBs. Daniel Van Buyten etc.

That was the most Garnacho run ever

Decent game, Bayern edging it. Evans looks like an absolutely regular guy.

Feel a bit bad for Maguire sometimes. Evans ffs

Davies vs Anthony is not entirely fair

Didn't realise he was club captain too.

The funny thing is he's right, but only because they bought completely the wrong people.

And that's exactly what Howe identified and invested heavily in fixing. But shit happens.

Yeah I think I'm more or less in agreement. He certainly should be starting. But in an ideal world he wouldn't be so heavily relied upon. It's similar to Isak and Wilson. We have a proven incumbent goalscorer and, when fit, it was really beneficial for bedding in Isak. When it's just one of them we're relying on they seem to struggle. It could be any number of reasons; minutes, fatigue, momentum, competition etc. If you look at their stats for Sept/Oct you'll see it, they were both on fire.

Agreed. I do think that's the key position to fix, and it's by no means his fault. The absence that's screwed us the most is Tonali, and it was entirely avoidable which makes it all the more annoying. We're absolutely desperate for a creative and/or goal-scoring player in the middle of the park. Obviously Longstaff would help but is also out. Even though he wasn't exactly flying, if Tonali wasn't out the last couple months would look quite different in my opinion. All credit to Miley, it's not his fault we're relying on him and he's done absolutely a better job than we could have imagined.

I am sure he has the quality and will come good, but it does feel Ten Hag is protecting him a little. And I can see why, chucking a relatively unproven (at least at this level) 20 year old as main striker in a very poor Man Utd team under enormous pressure is setting him up to fail. Surely that is hard to argue. I think a year to bed in to the league and the team would benefit him. It would work if Martial and Rashford weren't a total embarrassment, and Greenwood wasn't a big pest. So needs must. Is he ready? I don't think so. Does he have to get ready fast? Yes, sink or swim.

Dunno why he didn't just say that then. Illness is weakness

I loved Moyes after getting spooned 5-0. Blamed Fulham getting 1 more day rest, bad decisions and all sorts. Surely at 5-0 you accept you got pumped.

Is this usually stickied?

Chris Sutton predicts 3-3, presumably between lines of gear

They are absolutely woeful. It seems to just be accepted now and no-one cares about them. Probably for the owners that is the most worrying thing. That they aren't even seen as a big club now. They are set up all wrong, but it's hard to know how much is due to Poch and how much is the mad owners. They seem to also be at risk of a big points penalty. Long may it continue!

Man Utd just simply don't have very good players. Loads of them are mid table quality. Completely wasted so much money on very average folk.

Is this the end of bald nerd guy

Kulusevski seems a bit of a wank. Chasing the game, final minute, he gets tapped in the cheek and goes down for ages. Full whistle he's trying to fight folk.

Why is that a handball, given the last few weeks of disallowed/allowed penalties?

We had a couple good chances but we can't finish and then just capitulated. We need to make subs, even if they aren't ready, just take some minutes off some of their legs. Tonali has really fucked us over tbh. We're desperate for a creative player through the middle.

We desperately need more creativity from central midfield. We've left it to Miley who, with all due respect, isn't it yet.

We're going to always struggle because our finishing is absolutely shite. We seem afraid to shoot and, when we do, it's balls.
