The Prophet

Could easily be a red.

Man United have completely lost their heads here.

Onana is dogshit.

We look thr exact opposite of last season. Compact and defensively solid, but disjointed and wateful going forward.

Absolutely honking for the goal, parried a couple of shots straight at him too. Unusually shaky from him.

Not a great watch, but can't fault the mentality of the lads, superb. Big win going into the international break.

Really poor again, the lack of preseason shows. Csn only imagine he gets more minutes than Barnes is his graft off the ball or because he's on contract negotiations.

I think it was part of the tactics tbh. Sit back and hit them on the counter, but we've been playing without an outball all half, Gordon and Isak have been woeful.

That's not what I said like.

You've surprised me there like.

Probably because PIF have ambition and have invested hundreds of millions into the club, putting an executive structure in place to move the club forward. Ashley didn't

I wonder if he's here to ask some tough questions...

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt given he's only been here five minutes, but it's not an ideal start.

It's Eales' job as CEO to set the direction and strategy of the club fwiw. He's answerable to PIF. I think as long as the club continues to grow in value at a decent rate, he'll get by. Until I read the recent Athletic article, I hadn't realised he was as involved in the transfer market as much as he was. I'd hope that the responsibility will be fully delegated to Mitchell moving forward. The chaotic and reactive nature of the last few days indicates they're still working through the lines of power after the summer upheaval.

Unless they (wrongly) assumed they'd have no bother shifting the likes of Miggy and Wilson, which has been touted since last December.

The initial reporting was that it was enquiry that was shut down quickly. Then it was cash plus Almiron. Then it was £40 million plus Almiron. Now it's £50 million. I don't believe that they wouldn't have accepted that.

Random, but I'd love to know who's briefing the press at our end and why. The PSR reporting was deliberate and all over the place. It's been a lot more consistent post-deadline day, but again doesn't tie in with earlier briefings.

Not sure I believe that like, but given how chaotic we were on the last day, I wouldn't be surprised. Does whiff on the Forest owner using the opportunity to get credit in the bank with his own fans.

Nah, thst won't go down as an assist. Created a big chance and missed a big chance, depending on how you want to frame it.

INFORMATION: SÃO PAULO is negotiating with Jamal Lewis, 26-year-old Newcastle full-back! The player is expected to arrive in Brazil tomorrow to finalize negotiations!

Wot

Self fulfilling prophecy innit. If you're negative about everything, then something finally turns out to be disappointing or poor, it's the vindication to carry on.

I'd be shocked if we didn't score.
