The kind of player that gets the crowd to its feet. He's essential especially at home. One of the few players we have that can provide tha bi o magikk.

He had the most important touch in the lead-up to our last minute chance. It was him that set Wijnaldum on his way with a first time pass into space. The guy barely touched the ball yesterday and someone on here isn't impressed that he didn't get Luke Shaw to consider retirement because he had played 70 more minutes.

Mike Williamson IMO You can't lose what you'll never have I know the Spanish press are spoilt for choice when it comes to analysing players, but is there any mention at all of this kids progress? No, he's pretty much off the radar. Won't get a look until he goes back to Spain or signs for a big(ger) English team. gtfo

Well said. You can't tell if he's on form or off form, because he's the kind of player that does absolutely nothing of note. Maybe he'll never really be off form precisely because what he does is extremely basic. I don't mind that in its essence, as long as this basic stuff actually contributes to getting positive results. At the moment it's a total waste of a shirt apart from a couple of last ditch tackles.

This guy is worth his weight in gold. And then some.

If he continues to contribute nothing and McClaren drops him, I'll suddenly have a massive surge in confidence that our new manager actually has his wits about him, and genuinely wants to go places with this squad.

Can;t wait till someone does that fist pumps up pards arse. Odious cunt.

Grealish has a sumptuous touch on the ball.

nah man, no need for that, throw aarons on and we could win the game Aarons for Krul: a real mans sub.

Apart from two great tackles on Mata and Rooney, he was terrible IMO. Miles away from the action for most of the game, and stupidly gave the ball away several times in dangerous positions.

I don't agree that he should start automatically, it's not fair on the players who come in and play well. Yup. Also he was directly responsible for 2 goals conceded this season already, in addition to a moronic red card.

Same! much improved today. You can clearly see he was out to the wide positions trying to block the crosses in at least. Perez gave him a lot of help though it must be said.

Anyone wanting to learn how to play the position should watch this match and watch this guy's movement off the ball. Filled in as a 3rd center back at times, without needing to tackle. Just by intelligently reading the play and covering the passing lanes/channels, he stunted several Man Red attacks. 10/10 off the ball today. Sensational.

He's been off the boil since last season.

This And dross isn't an exaggeration.

Two world class saves from Hernandez and Mata. Colo blocked three shots as well that were on target. How anyone can say Colo wasn't MOTM is beyond me. He saved it from being a spanking. If this was a potential Man Utd spanking then you have to worried for your title chances this season. I worry for Newcastle FC when a great performance is being stuck in your own box for 80 mins and having zero shots on target. Trolling as usual eh? We'll not be the first team to come to OT and sit back. In Rooney you have an off-form forward who needs to get his touch and explosiveness back. Midfield and defense is sorted for you but the side is far from accomplished if you can't score goals. As for us, yeah in the past we would have laid down and taken it up the poop hoop. The fact that we looked organized and fought hard makes a massive difference to us. Being a regular on NO, one would think you would easily recognize that.

Agreed, apart from Colback and Obertan. Would have taken these two off at HT, put Aarons and Thauvin on, pushed Perez up front with Mitrovic and Wijnaldum back in the middle, and had a right go with 442. The extra center midfielder we had didn't make a jot of a difference, and I would have much rather played a more expansive game using more of the pitch. Really could have won this.

So unlucky not to win it. Rooney is impotent. Man U a load of fart and no s***. Defensively we have been excellent. Not hung on by the skin of our teeth as much as the stats would suggest. We were organized and disciplined. Perez MOTM imo for dat tracking back!

I reckon the fact that he's a less than intelligent cowardly snake has more to do with it than his ego. If he actually had any ability or redeeming quality, his ego might be slightly justified.

She might have something to do with his dip in form? I know if I had a lass like that i'd be saving my performances for a different kind of pitch.

:lol: :lol:

Then shuffles it around 10 minutes in when he realises he's got it wrong and is about to get battered. Every single time. Reactionary visionary cunt.

Glad he's brought his missus. That's my w*** sorted for tonight anyways ! Any one know her name to give her a scope on Instagram ? Charlotte Pirroni. Link to her instagram a few pages up.

This might be a braindead rumour, but it does make you wonder why we've constantly been linked with him. There must be some interest from our side. Whether or not Monaco would sell, or we'd be ready to pay, or even if he'd come here is another matter.
