Ooop there’s another misplaced pass from him
He’d make a cracking centre mid.

The difference in quality between the Arsenal Manu game and the Leeds Brentford game is quite staggering.

Can't believe that Antony cost Man Utd £80 mill, he looks out of his depth.

Something would be seriously wrong if that wasn’t the case I suspect if I got my trusty calculator out & did my sums in calculating the cost of the 22 vs 22 on show we would have another staggering difference.

Quite a difference in their points totals and league positions as well.
Leeds v Brentford was an “amuse bouche” before the Main Course.

Arteta a massive distraction for me though at the bottom of the screen.Stop waving your arms about, get back into your technical area, and let your players play.

Good or not, according to experts on here keepers should be claiming every cross that comes into their area.

Agree with this. Some people are unable to recognise such areas primed for improvement

Martinez making lots of fans and pundits look a bit silly after he was written off as "too small". Great defender.

That’s exactly my thought, LV…… BTW, how are you liking the NBC/Peacock fan fest at Orlando Universal? I think it’s brilliant in a US context, because you have fans of all clubs in any given vicinity. Great to have the pundits in and amongst it rather than in a studio

Reminiscent of the Clarets at the Turf. Build up so much pressure and force the other team back and back and back. At some point they cave (now).

Nketiah again ... 3-2 to Arsenal
BBC news at 620 from North West just announced Man U winning 3-2



Think they need a rethink

Or time for some people to accept others have different opinions, blanking in a couple of games isn’t a forgone conclusion he’s a dud, he’s an international striker & United haven’t identified him & gone to the effort of getting him for no good reason.

He’s not a pacy striker but good link up play & a threat at set pieces, it’s very premature writing him off after going to selhurst park on a cold winters night & a trip away to the league leaders.

Most of United’s best stuff came from his link up play. The touch/flick near the end which almost led to Rashford being played in was sublime. Not really his fault the service to him in the box was so poor. McTominey played a few shocking passes when he was in a promising position. I know there’s not much point be discussing him with you, as, like with other players, you’ve already made your stance with him and nothing will possibly change it.
