Damn, have we all been miserable for a year already? How time flies.

In fairness we could get beaten tomorrow and if we then sign Guehi it'll not matter that he's cup tied anyway.

Imagine the scenes if he's subbed off 5 minutes in.

The universe is a little bitch.

While this is absolutely true. Being cup tied for even the Carabao Cup could be a potential deal breaker, as stupid as that may seem. No pressure to sell but the player clearly wants to leave and they'll be passing up on £70M now when they'll get probably £45M next summer if he's had a good season again.

Got his Achilles scraped quite early when he came on. Seemed to disappear for a few minutes after that but really came into it when it mattered. Will be a big game for him on Wednesday. Quite an exciting prospect of having him and Tonali in the midfield again for that match.

After some hours to settle down from this (mostly their last minute "winner"). I've accepted this for what it was, a lucky escape. I do think though that missing Schar has a huge impact in these type of game, especially when you also don't have Trippier or Hall playing. That's three players out of your back 4 missing who massively contribute to playing the ball out and breaking the oppositions press. Krafth and Burn are mostly incapable of doing that, which is why we time after time got stuck in our own half. No suprise really that we were so much more comfortable in possession when Tripps and Hall came on. Not to mention Willock who is far better than Longstaff at progressive runs out of his own half. Forrest will be an interesting one. But I suspect we'll see a game that closely resembles the one today, especially with so many changes.

Think this is a perfect situation tbh. Hall will play in the games that suits his style of play and therefore most of the home games and Kelly will swap in for him in some away games or when the opposition calls for it. Hall is 19, if he's expecting to play EVERY single PL game this season, that's delusional.

Its games like this in early rounds of a cup against Premier League opponents when you really see what your squad depth is like. Right now, other than the midfield, it's actually pretty poor. Lascelles, Botman and Schar unavailable plays a big part in that but it's still not particularly inspiring to imagine what team we could put out (without exhausting the players who played today and then will play against Spurs)

If today is anything to go by I think we'll see Gordon and Barnes both start against Spurs.

And a couple of others with could've easily been finished better than they were.

No way they let Madueke go now. Even if they didn't want to before today, they definitely don't now. Just focus on a CB, can't keep going with Krafth as second choice until next year. Maybe find ourselves a RW in January if we're lucky.

The only plus point I can see from this game is that we didn't lose. Not surprised we've started the season slowly. After the international break we need to see a real step up in performances.

Lucky fuckers we are.

Retrospective incoming.

Lucky. Overall absolutely couldn't complain if we had lost .

Well he's better than Krafth for a start.

Bournemouth doing to us what we should be doing to them. We are so on the backfoot in most situations today.

We've been poor. Aside from the 10 minutes at the start maybe. Losing all the battle, misplaced passes everywhere. No urgency whatsoever, really need to up it massively. Gordon a passenger. Half the player he was last season based on this showing so far. But saying that Isak and Gordon are so isolated they can't do anything productive.

Ipswich go one up only to inevitably lose 5-1.

I agree. And he absolutely knows it. Everytime something goes wrong he's the first to blame a teammate. Like I say, I agree he's Man Utds best player but that's been their problem since Ferguson left, they are a team of individuals, not a team at all.

I think he's actually one of Man Utds issues. Sooner the get rid of him the l better for the team I'd say. Constant moaning on the pitch, can only imagine what he's like in the dressing room or on the training ground

Exactly what Man Utd deserve.

Almost cost them a goal that. Got lucky.
