I don't think Hall has been any worse than say Joelinton, Isak or Trippier.

 

Disagree.... all 3 of those have been not great... Hall has been well below them so far. And I have been a big supporter of his

Hall's not a LB.

 

Wouldn't say he's a CM either tbf. 

[BennyBlanco]

Only early days but I’m starting to feel v sorry for Isak. Chasing fuck all balls and cutting a very isolated figure up top.

Moves it quick. No taking 4 touches and inviting pressure like a certain CM.

Both Brazilians like to do that tbf.

[geordiesteve710]

This ref is clueless.

 

Think I attended a League 2 game last season he reffed and he was shite then as well.

Krafth with some of the worst movement I've ever seen there when it went back to Pope.

 

Broke his arse trying to get behind the attacker and remove himself from a position for Pope to play a simple pass to him

 

Krafth is ok when he's just tackling or blocking, apart from that he's a horrendous footballer.

[Memphis]

I'm inclined to give Hall a little break because he's still young and is playing with a pretty shit defensive group, but he has been a vulnerability.

Is Alan Smith watching a different match from me? The miserable Arsenal bastard

 

At least it's not Dixon.

[buzza]

Ref is not givin us anything! 

[Nowhere Man]

Dear me there’s trouble at t’mill, thinking that was a strong team out there.. nope

[The Butcher]

[The Prophet]

Don't think Hall has been that bad, granted some of his more adventurous passing has been sloppy.

This back 4 has 0 understanding of how to play as a unit. Hall in particular looks like a fish out of eater., his positioning has been abysmal.

Fish out of eater... 😄

[nufcnick]

Well that half was very poor, we have been out ran and out played by a second string forest team

Agreed I love Hall, but he's had a shocking game.

Tonali’s turn of pace is something else

Even when he’s beaten he’s back on their ass ASAP

[Doctor Zaius]

We never look comfortable on the ball. Hall so disappointing.

We always end up with an incredibly bias co commentator. Don Goodman, Alan Smith , any ex Man Utd player.

Can add Lee Dixon to that list too.

[Jimburst]

Tonali's gonna need to do 90 mins on Sunday too he's too good.

[Conjo]

Been an entertaining game so far. Great to know that Tonali didn't forget how to play football too.

[Disco]

Lucky to be 0-1 up given the team. You just know a real RW like Minteh or Steve Wraith would tear them apart. 

[HaydnNUFC]

Mixed half, really. Great start and Tonali looks sharp as owt. But away from home issues from the last year are continuing; struggling to retain possession & control and inability to get Isak into the game.

He and Joelinton have been wasteful at times. Very poor 

[CallumG6]

We look so laboured, as if we’ve played 3/4 of the season already. Fuck knows what’s up with us.

The flat three really isolates him at times, Willock is the only one who really bridges it well.

 

That said, Isak has looked ponderous on the ball today IMO.
