That’s why he’s an important player for us

Wonder if we step off now, playing with fire with their counters

Havnt all of your previous managers been fairly invested in Rashford though? Correct me if I’m wrong, I know he’s a fairly one season on one season off player so I’m not sure if his form has been worse than previous seasons.

He caught that so sweet

Osimhen at Gala is so 2033/34 in FM, love to see it

To be fair I chose this game for Leverkusen and not Liverpool, I’m thoroughly disappointed as I watched probably as many Leverkusen games as NUFC games last season and they were usually great

Liverpool game is utter tosh

Don’t know if it has been posted here but apparently Gerrard is on the brink in Saudi and has been turned on by the Al Ettifaq fanbase, so we’ll probably have to suffer him while he sits in one of those comfy punditry chairs every week soon.

You’ve pretty much nailed it here I think

I know it’s been mentioned but my god is Drury horrendous to listen to or what? Trying to make moments in the game bigger with sound bite style commentary that just comes off as totally cringe, does it appeal to anyone? It just feels like a constant distraction from what’s actually happening on the pitch

There’s definitely scenarios where he can play that #6 role, either coming on at 60 mins or against certain opponents. I think Howe will keep Bruno there for the majority of the time though.

Nah, not really I’m just poking some fun. I do find that he becomes one of the whipping boys fairly quickly when things arnt going our way though.

With most people it depends on if we win or lose week to week

Loves setting up man for man against big sides, got it so right today

Man seeing such a solid performance after we’ve been so slack this season is beyond satisfying

Hes out on his feet, hopefully Osula has been taking notes

Just need to ease the pressure a bit, Isak will go off asap

Put Botman in for Burn and this might be our best functioning 11

That cross will just get better everytime you see it

Pinger

I said a while ago, he will end up begin our TAA

Similar in being press resistant I agree, although I think Bruno still has the edge there. But Bruno is far more creative overall, and Tonali is superior physically. Personally I feel like they pick themselves when it comes to who is 6 and who is 8 if they are starting games together.

The way he’s come on so far this season has been so good to see, I personally had doubts about him defensively whenever he played last season and expected him to not be starting games yet. The talent was clearly there but I saw him need more time. Hes becoming the new Trippier but on the left, it’s huge for us. Impressive stuff.

Bruno will be back at #6 without doubt, he’s our most press resistant and creative midfielder so it’s a no brainer especially against a good side

Man United home would be nice for all sorts of reasons
