I really don't care. All I could think of during the game was "I hope we're not like this on Thursday."

So it wasn't a done deal.

There's three things here. 1) It sounds like a Norway vs. Denmark thing. 2) A goal every 204 minutes for a 19 year old in a top five league is nothing to be sniffed at. Neither is finishing as top scorer for Man United in your debut season. 3) A season or two before this you were advocating for us to sign Josh King (while also saying it was a done deal as you knew the agents dealing with it). Pinch of salt and all that.

Amass looks like a Shaw clone. Great little arse on him.

I wouldn't be so sure on that. Hojlund came in and scored 16 goals as a 19/20 year old. Aside from the first game or two, Dorgu has been absolutely rubbish. Just think it's much too early to completely write off the lad.

We're writing off the 20 year old who signed 8 weeks ago already?

Generally I think he's sound enough but can't help himself when it's us. Gary Neville is the same. His commentary when he's on our games is abysmal and is miserable for the viewer but I think he's usually alright. Rio I properly can't stand. He's clueless and I don't understand how someone so thick can be such an intelligent footballer. He had offers in the summer and considered it. He had meetings with INEOS and was obviously happy enough with their plans, and the contract offer of course. If he wanted to leave I'd be happy for him. He's one of the greatest we've ever had and will never be seen that way by many because of the lack of success.

That's the problem with a lot of players in this squad. They have moments of brilliance and you're thinking, "maybe they're not so bad." At the end of the day though half of them can't do the basics to a high enough standard.

Yeah his attitude and work rate is top class. It's the reason he plays every minute, but the quality is lacking. It won't be long before we sign some competition for him though.

Most of us are fed up with Dalot and want him to be a squad player at best. He left Mazraoui super exposed today. Beaten so easily far too many times.

Ask me on Thursday night.

Cringed fucking hard at that celebration.

Yes he did.

Ask me on Thursday night.

WiFi isn't good enough at SJP.

They were all you could hear for the last 20 minutes so that's fairly embarrassing if there were barely any of them.

He's played like 40 minutes in 4 months mate.

Aye. Eriksen played 90 minutes lads and he died 4 years ago. The Zirkzee injury though.

Bayindir has only had one save to make Mike. Calm down. Popes been the busier of the two keepers.

That's just the problem we need to address in the summer. Zirkzee will just drop deep today and Garnacho and Bruno will run off him.

Hojlund just dropped because he's been shit.

Dorgu, Maguire and Casemiro. I'd expect a lot of early changes though.

He's complimented you a lot. He loves teams with intensity.

Before Dorgu came in we found his lack of gametime a bit strange since we wer desperate for a left sided full back. Felt it must have been due to his physicality.
