He was back out on the bench with his calf bandaged
Oh definitely, the comparison between the two wasn’t a dig at Havertz, just trying to highlight how important the 8 role was for us last season and why our attacks have been lacking a bit of cutting edge and fluidity these past few games.
We’ve got a lot of room for optimism as a club in general, not just trajectory but when you look at the quality on our bench compared to the past few seasons and the potential of our young squad, we’ve got it all to come.
Yeah it’s a bit of sour grapes really, especially considering penalty overturned and Eddie got kicked in the face on that counter! The one play the had was kick the ball to Rashford and hope he produced some magic, it backfired and he looks stupid because he had to bring on Jonny Evans and Slabhead
I think Man U fans will feel hard done by based on the balance of play but it was only so close because we weren’t clicking, we attacked, we pressed and we deserved to win for trying
He did do well stopping attacks but the first half miss and sloppy pass for the counter means he will get even more scrutiny unfortunately and when the people around him are so talented it becomes clear when things aren’t going quite right, no room for passengers in the team and Xhaka last season was so important in the same role both offensively and defensively.
Oh my bad!
Full time thoughts: ahahahahahhhbbbhbhahweoepepeoeleoweofjkeowkw!!!
Viera and Tomiyasu looked good when coming on as well, I thought Jesus looked off the pace still before his superbly taken goal so he put me in my place
Full time thoughts: Rice looked good again even before the goal, Havertz worked hard off the ball but was very poor in possession/transition, Saka should have scored and I think the defense overall dealt with the counterattacks well but Saliba stood out as per usual
All gets added on now no?
Supermarkets in trouble, we’re all eating Rice for dinner tonight
Things you love to see, let’s foggin go bois
So true, the penalty one was iffy but also the kind of call that VAR doesn’t usually overturn if given but of course that goes against us haha
VAR actually doing something for us, I’m actually shocked! Needs to be a wake up call for us, we haven’t been good enough in attack
Oh I’m not saying it’s bad, just that the connection last season between the two was devastating, I think Eddie played the lines and width really well this game
I don’t think we’ve seen the Sake-White connection down the right at all this game, he’s got off kinda easy so far
Protecting Zinchenko right I guess? First start since injury, if he’s off on international duty too they won’t have the same considerations
Viera was great when he came on last weekend for sure, always looking to create something which we need
Really enjoying seeing Martinelli use his left foot more to cross, I feel like he was getting predictable
I don’t think any of us could have predicted that though to be honest, for all Jorginho’s faults, composure and passing aren’t generally where he’s exposed
