And fair play to Rashford, that's 3 good headers in less than 2 games now. And yes he was playing like Bebe resurrected, but scoring goals is what it's all about.

Erikson fired a pass under him, so he cushions it first time into a 15 yard lob pass over a West Ham player. Swoon.

And I love seeing Rashford score them goals. Proper goals. Prime Andy Cole for Blackburn

Meh

Misplaced too many passes to count and constant fouls

I’m not getting fooled by him making an effort to overlap.

Elanga needs binning asap, I’d be tempted to hook Ronnie as well but if he had someone that could play football near him it could help. Give Sancho a go on the right for 45’

Good start, tailed off in the last 15 but rashford took his goal really well.

Would like to see a more measured approach from the right side too. West Ham are there for the taking. Ronaldo needs to stay central, a couple of times he was on the edge of the box when shaw was about to cross.

Big progress, any one do the last 8-9 years, the team usually huffs and puffs the first 10-15 then as the game goes on their heads go and lose control.

Worth noting Eriksen a first pass to Bruno, Bruno head back to Eriksen , Eriksen pin point cross. That wouldn’t happen under mcfred. Little things like the ability to pick the quick pass under pressure .

Good half that so I hate to be negative, but what's elanga all about?

Great header. That cross though rool:

What's been said already about Casemiro. He's got everything.

If he can add headers to his game regularly, will be a very very good thing for us.

A likely story

I'll tell what was said.... Slow, past it, disinterested, not as good as The Scottish Player

Rashford, when he puts in the work, is superb. Always said hard work would get him rewards. He's already an outstanding athlete.

Think again, we've generally been pretty good. Good job the lads had a good warm up against premier league level opposition mid week

Stop making things up. I don’t think anyone on here nor the media in real life said something along the words of The Scottish Player being the same if not better than Casemiro

He’s been up and down the whole flank, Dalot’s clearly got a different tactical remit to push inside but it would be helpful if he overlapped now and then. Elanga is shit but he’s not got anyone near him over that side at all.

Get the second goal early then control the game as you do. Hopefully they come out flying and don’t let West Ham settle. West Ham will eventually have to push more numbers forward and the gaps in their defence should become bigger

We’ve been pretty sloppy and have looked vulnerable at the back without giving away a clear chance

Great goal and Rashford is the only one of the front 3 threatening West Ham

Elanga, Ronaldo and Maguire have really brought down the quality of our play both on and off the ball
Can’t press high consistently with Ronaldo up front and Maguire dropping deep

Bring Sancho on wide right and get some quality going that side

Need another to calm the nerves.

Don’t think they’ve been that bad . The back 4 were a bit timid with their build up play and it has a knock on effect . Up the tempo a bit, get dalot overlapping elanga and using both sides to attack and there are goals in this .
