Is this Howe’s first defeat to a team in the bottom half since he’s been here?

Don’t think the musical chairs have helped. Joelinton out wide left, then up front, then in midfield, Trippier right back, left back, Livramento left back, right back. Gordon up front, then wide etc.

Jesus bring Tino on not Ritchie.

He was so close to being a Balon d’or winner, if it wasn’t for a series of totally unconnected events that were beyond his control.

We can still put out a strong team and should win. However, most of the backups are now starting and the backups to the backups are now just the backups.

Why not just a total ban then? That would then cut off that avenue for all clubs in the future including the likes of Liverpool etc and clubs looking at multi-club arrangements. No just a temporary ban a month before the transfer window opens…… I maintain that the ESL 5 (excluding Citeh) are boxing themselves into a corner trying to contain us, things like FFP are starting to affect them too.

We’ve got nothing to give here, looked a bit naive in both games.

Happy with this, the youngsters will give us energy. Willock and Big Joe linking down the left. Gordon and Almiron to come on for last 30 mins to administer the coup de grâce.

He’s a freak of nature, he’s got the anticipation, strength, power and pace to not only win his defensive battles but to spring into attack. No wonder we pushed the button on his transfer. He’ll be an England regular for many years.

Havertz is a massive cunt but that wasn’t a red, seen Lascelles, Burn etc do those half a dozen times a season. We’ve fallen straight into their trap reacting like that. Should have been a mental note and a big Joe. Straightener in the second half.

Nah

We should be over powering a midfield with Jorginho and Havertz. This is poor.

I’m sure his left foot and right foot are on the wrong legs.

When we’re not piling forward helter skelter style we look poor.

Game looks too fast for him.

Man Utd have only won two league titles outside of the Busby-Ferguson eras. They were both in the early 1900s.

My MOTM is Big Joe.

Danger of scouting at the World Cup.

Surely just being a massive bastard is a protected characteristic? Not his fault people just bounce off him.

Amrabat looks shite.

Gordon - got through a load of work tonight.
