This is more like it

This game feels like it's got away from us now, not sure what changes this for us.

How is everyone's passing, movement and pressing so much better than ours so far this season, its so frustrating to watch.

Absolutely pegged back here, we need to turn the tide here

Just gonna mention this, how are we getting consistently outpressed

Such a blatant foul throw, he was way over the line when he let go, but hey ho

I think we've been OK, just nervy, a bit too hasty at times. We'll be fine and I think we'll see this out 2-0 in the end.

Trippier starting to look like his old self, we've missed that

Some of the instinctive passing tonight by us has been sublime

Tonali is such a game changer

Bwahahahahaahahaha

Or sent off!

Such an emotional bunch, why don't we wait until the window SLAMS shut and then see how we get on? Maybe January offers us another route if all is not going to plan. We're 2 games into the season man, it's not quite bed sheet time yet 🤷‍♂️

That Miggy 1-2 with Bruno, over the top caught so many teams cold. Bruno definitely ups Miggys game on that side.

Guess who's back, back again, Sandros back, tell a friend. Like a new signing ™

The subs changed the game for us, all positive contributions but still way off our best. We got away with one there but I'll take it.

Hoping Willock gets a run out, would be tempted to switch Murphy out for Almiron too.

I think Gordon is the biggest let down here, his running and guile is non-existent, whatever is going on there needs to get sorted ASAP, once he's in the mood it opens things up for other players. We're almost at full strength, this is worse than when we had half the team out.

He's not helping the itk rumours is he?

No one comes out of that half looking good tbf, need to wake up, we don't look like the team we can be, weak and feeble on and off the ball, passing is horrific, making the wrong choices, second to every ball. We'll never win anything if we can't start performing away from home. Hard to see us get anything from this if we keep just going through the motions. Anger inducing performance.

Gordon just spent the summer wasting away on Southgates bench and barely had a kick pre-season so he's probably a little confidence knocked and rusty. Give him a month and he'll be tearing it up again. Don't think there was a lack of effort from him fwiw, he put a shift in when we went down to 10 and his role changed, he was just off it today, but then who wasn't?

High praise indeed

Genuinely don't get the ire directed at Miggy, he's always done his best, never seen an engine like his getting up and down the line, chasing every cause, let's not forget that without his purple patch UCL doesn't happen and scoring our first UCL goal in 20 years against PSG was deserving. I'm not saying we should keep him, he's obviously a weak link in where we want to be, but he was a key member of where we came from, he deserves to be remembered fondly when he does leave.

Defence has been tight as a ducks arse tonight, not letting anything through.

I'd take Madueke in a heartbeat, think Eddie could really make him something. Kulusevski I'm on the fence with but then I didn't want Gordon here and thought we should keep ASM so what do I know?? If we get Guehi and a RW in then I think we'll have a very competitive starting 11 this season and some half decent backups.
