Away Toon

Really wished we had bought a DM to allow Bruno to get further forward, it's such a waste to see him the deepest of all our midfielders.

Goal coming.

that should be a penalty

France suffering from their own Southgate problem.

I'm pretty sure that Rafa is finished as a top manager and won't be getting offered anything outside of someone who is desperate not to get relegated or desperate to get promoted. The new firefighting Sam Allardyce.

Keep forgetting that those that live in the UK are still not allowed to watch most matches because.....fuck knows why actually.

Anybody who didn't realize what an upgrade Pope is on Dubravka either had never watched them play or doesn't understand anything about football.

Isak should never play anywhere but CF.

Every team has injuries, you can't expect to always be able to field your best 11, in fact some teams never get the chance. What's important is that you can replace quality with quality which at the moment we can't.

So its a 7/4 lineup, 7 good enough, 4 not good enough and only Anderson off the bench who looks like he might be capable of getting a goal. We are multiple windows away from having a good enough team and bench to challenge the top 6.

We need to continue to invest massively in the team and squad starting tomorrow and then January and next summer, fuck FFP, let them sue us.

Well for starters we don't keep winning, haven't won since the first game of the season.

If the free kick had been further out Trippier would have taken it, do none of the people not understanding why Trippier didn't want to take it watch or understand football?

The good thing about this is that the owners now know if they didn't already that we need at least another 5/6 decent players to challenge for a top 8 position.

Quite like Madrid but prefer the nightlife in Barcelona.

Bruno's not injured man, he's off to Madrid.

The issue with Paqueta for lots of clubs is his time at Milan. Maybe that’s why we seem to be holding off.

Unlikely after Targett's first half performance.

Amazing how much better Anderson is then anybody else we have on the pitch

So Anderson is the only young promising player we have apparently. Under Bruce that line up gets beaten or scrapes with a draw and penalties.

This has become extremely one sided now and we have no one on the bench to change it. Settle for a point

You cannot play this open against City. We have no defensive midfielder and apparently dont think we need to buy one.

Guests on BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro League podcast have been discussing Manchester United's move for Casemiro and the issues it poses. The 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder would become one of the club's top earners if he decided to join the side currently bottom of the Premier League after two matches. "It is a surprise move first of all," said Guillem Balague. "If you think of football reasons for it, do you want a holding midfielder that lives on the edge of the box much more comfortably than in open spaces when actually your manager wants to pressure high and dynamism and quick transitions? I’m not sure Casemiro is your man. "And yet after the defeat against Brentford, a call was made to Real Madrid and to Casemiro. There have been meetings and the stage we’re in is that conversations are progressing. "I think Manchester United are surprised the doors are open from Real Madrid that will accept 70m euros and from Casemiro, who will double his wages. It will give him two more years on his contract from 2025 to 2027 – he’s 30 years old. "It’s Manchester United all over isn’t it, this story?" Raphael Honigstein added: "I think you can be reactive and still make a good signing so I wouldn’t hold it against them that they’ve started this late and that they have done this maybe in reaction to defeat. "But my question is the same as Guillem’s – where does he fit in? If you play two midfielders and then a number 10 in front, you can’t have somebody who is out-and-out destructive if you are Manchester United. At Real Madrid it’s a different set-up. "It does solve part of the problem, but it doesn’t really address the biggest issue which is what do you do with the ball when you have it? How do you progress it? How do you keep that rhythm that United don’t seem to have in midfield? "As a player you can’t argue against his quality, he will help. But as far as helping Ten Hag with his vision of how this team wants to play and having a set-up that works collectively, it does pose a few questions"

Agree very much with this. It will be a real wasted opportunity if we dont seriously improve our attacking options. We need to be aiming for 6th to 8th this season to keep the momentum going. The owners have three years to increase the clubs income and keep on the right side of FFP, if they cant do that then they are not the people we think they are.

Innocuous.
