I’ve not watched him enough to judge his overall game but in an attacking sense he’d completely transform our right hand side. He’s got that perfect mix of directness, trickery and being clinical

Michael Oliver despises Brereton Diaz like

Russell Martin always looks like he’s going through some heavy withdrawal symptoms

Have Southampton taken some brown bags before this game?

Semenyo is so fucking good

Kerkez looks a really good player going forward

Lovely tempo to this game

“Lee, come on, this is the last time we’re going over this, they’re not chocolate coins, spit them out”

I think Maddison would have been very good here but I don’t think his attitude is good enough to be a top player. He’s so busy trying to be snide that he actually forgets to play football sometimes. Think if he was fully focused like a Luis Diaz or a Milner he’d be absolutely amazing but he goes missing a lot, especially if the crowd gets on his back

I do question Guehi’s “nice guy” credentials a bit. It’s great that he doesn’t kick up a fuss and is loyal and should be lauded for that. However, it doesn’t scream ambition. Maybe he just didn’t fancy the toon and if that’s the case, fair enough but if he did really want to come then maybe his character is too passive to become one of the best in his position

There’s no way he’d fill the role of Van Dijk but then no one would come close to him at his peak

The one major positive for Man U is that even if their most recent signings don’t perform then they’re not getting rinsed by them, apart from De Ligt that is

Hojlund deserves a better wage although he’s worryingly frail. If his body can’t allow him to play consistently then he’s never going to reach his potential

Yes, shame his value will be extortionate. We should probably look for someone who’s not the finished article yet as we can’t really afford to go stupid in the market currently but in terms of a player whose profile fits us, he’s perfect for the right side

It’s never been pretty under ETH but in his first season they had a really good defensive shape and could shut games down pretty easily. He’s now added in a leaky midfield to the poor football that he’d already got down to a tee. There are few managers that have had the resources he’s had and produced such poor football

Nice cut there, that was when Joelinton made a shite pass there after all that hard work

As much as our home atmosphere gets criticised by ourselves, it’s still better than almost all other grounds. I get annoyed by it but it’s worth putting it into perspective. Our away form like Joey says is the problem and has been for over 12 months. I’m sure a lot of work is going in to try and remedy it but it’s odd how stark the difference is

It’s an incredible volley, the contact is absolutely perfect. The timing to get that right. Very few strikers are capable of that

Massive fucking weirdos the lot of them, should be marched out the ground for doing it

Would be hard to imagine him staying if they lose the next two

Got to get rid of those bad apples, feel like ETH has been dealt a bad hand with those and deserves an extension for his efforts

Wonder how many mirrors are being bought after this match by ETH? Feels like a lot of looking is necessary

Not watching, don’t care if it was a legit red or not, fucking hilarious stuff

Feel really sorry for Targett like. If his eczema is that bad that it’s keeping him out of a match then it must be really bad. He’s had a shocker for well over a year now. Hope his luck turns
