No-one is signing Dibling for his goal output, they’re signing for him for his level of composure, technical ability and footballing IQ at such a young age. The skill set you dream of working with to mould into the player you want whilst still learning. We spent £30m on Lewis Hall after 8 prem games, so Dibling for more is fair value since attackers usually carry more weight.

He’s experience is needed, but he needs to keep it together off the pitch too.

Just be more pace in the side. Think we'll struggle because of the output from yesterday, but there's no reason we can't be solid as a unit and attack them on the counter with the transitional dominance in the centre of the pitch. Best giving them much of the ball since there's no Bruno, because the shot from outside the box isn't there and likes of Garnacho / Diallo / Hojlund etc. are better when there's space behind. Even though they're shit right now, will happily take a point and target the Spurs game as the win.

Rashford could get another manager sacked by not even playing. So powerful. Saying it’s going to take while and be painful, then losing loads, will only last so long for Amorim. Has to show improvements as I doubt he got the job by saying “I will need to spend £100m+”. So if he starts to ask for players because the ones can’t work in his system, why did the club hire him? Feels like club knew ETH was a busted flush, had to take the L, and just went with the manager who’s got the biggest rep and willing to join mid season. I don’t think Man Utd hierarchy have thought anything longer term.

I think we will sign someone who’s a future prospect (like Tino/Hall type of player), knowing they shouldn’t be needed as a starter, but plenty of time to bed them in ready to replace Schar. RW will come down to an opportunistic buy. If a target is there that’s good value, we’ll make a move, otherwise it’s go with what we got till summer and no need to have to sell desperately by end of June to balance books.

Agree, defenders that are regularly needing to do slide tackles are red flags for me. Because it usually means their positional play to start off with was wrong if needing to recover with a slide and/or, they’re hot headed and like to slide which increases the risk of giving away penalties.

When we play like we did yesterday, I swing back towards all in on Eddie and give him his players Because when it clicks it’s bloody good fun.

Avoid? If Chelsea are angling for him as a sale (as they will need two in the summer) then go for Madueke.

Amorim will get a lot of leeway because he talks well and he’s got people buying into his narrative of “We will be proper shit before we are good”. Which is all well and good, but if the proper shit goes all way to end of seasons, at what point do you go “Is the good actually coming?”

Christ I hope we proper put the sword into them on Monday.

Very good. Bit slow in some situations, but calm and that defending at back post for 2-0 was his experience reading the situation where you don’t need pace.

That ball for the Bruno goal was so good. Having another midfielder who can spot and play those passes is a big game changer.

Very good 2nd half performance that. Controlled things, didn’t over do it, and unlucky to not win like 5-0. There was chatter at start of season that our poor start and low tempo, may have been some new conditioning thing so players are in peak fitness for season run in, which giving last week it does start to feel that may be genuine. Proper back to the intensity today.

Handball rule is if it leads to a goal directly, doesn’t matter if it’s accidental or not it’s handball. Which I’m fine with even if it’s frustrating. Only part of handball rule that is actually black and white.

Willock come on drunk?!

That ball by Tonali is SEXUAL

Riding our luck with these crosses.

Murphy RB and Barnes RW surely?

Really good tracking back by Gordon then.

Barkley to spank one in from no where and we make a nervous ending

WTF

Needs two defenders beyond goalkeeper. Otherwise it’s from behind GK.

Why is Murphy passing that ffs

Lovely to see Bruno further forward playing those balls.

Anti jinx
