Don’t think I’ve ever seen a good MNF game

So many sloppy mistakes from everyone

Garnacho has had an all time shocker of a half but our leaders in the midfield Casemiro and Bruno who should be bringing order to our play have only added to the chaotic nature of our play
Love Casemiro but he’s not someone who can control a game of football when pressed

Crowd have been just as bad
Not helping the team on opening night at all

Sancho on for Garnacho and a rocket up the team’s arse from ETH and we should win

Spot on.

We look oddly nervous and disjointed. Just didn’t expect that at all. The crowd isn’t helping and I can’t imagine the protests and general feel is helping there.

Garnacho unfortunately showing why he isn’t yet ready to regularly start. I can only recall Sociedad away where he had an impact from the start.

Give them 15 to turn it round then I’d be looking at Sancho for Garnacho and Eriksen for Mount, who has been completely invisible. Tie whole midfield has been awful.

Martinez needs to watch himself too. Couple of heart-in-the-mouth 50/50s when he was on a booking.

Be brave, give pellestri a run after 60 mins if nothing changes for garnacho.

Two defenders on yellow cards too don’t help when we are currently set up to be countered easily.

a lot of back passing, (horrible ball by Garnacho) Martinez got run down twice, it looks like it may take a while for Mount to settle in (Eriksen missing from the 11 is notable)

Finally, I will probably eat my words in the second half, but....Rashord isn't a number 9.

Are you high?

Weird agenda? Says someone who can't criticize someone in case they upset another forumista...

it’s criminal that all we are missing from an attacking perspective is a 20 year old striker.

our squad is disgusting.

nothing has changed. It was evident in all the pre season games. 190m spent.

What changes?

The goalkeeper and mason mount? What’s to deal with.

The problem is - as always - we appear physically miles off the opposition

None of the players have been great but he’s been our “best” player of the half. He hasn’t been great but give him more of the ball. Nice to see him finally take it on his right for once.

The goal will come from the right side and he will be involved.

Wtf is this shit

We signed him for 80m ffs.

He should be “special”. A different class. He is shit.

They’re playing differently . Mounts being pushed up for the overload. Casemiro is on his own in CM until one of the full backs joins him. Sharpness is off. Things will get better. They need a rocket up their arse more than anything .

think mount has been okay, got more involved as it went on. BUT I just don't think the balance of this team is right.

10h will sort it, will look a different team in the second half 3-0

Linders on…

“That’s football” can’t wait for these hardcore reds to force out the Glazers and stop Greenwood coming back.

80m is the old 20m, it doesn't get you special or elite or world class, thats 150m+ .... antony is basically the equivalent of us signing ashley young
