Brandon Williams certainly earned himself a few more starts. Romero, Rojo and Lingard should be nowhere near the first team in any competition.

Thought Rojo done ok to be honest. He's been pretty good since he's been back in the side.

Correct about Lingard - but we all agree on him.

Romero - love the guy but his kicking is atrocious.

Everything about him is atrocious. He isn't our number 2 by accident, if he were actually any good he'd be gone.

Maybe he is happy being at the club, playing in the cup competitions and receiving praise from windy waffles online?

He did ok then nearly £#%&!ed himself up going for a non entity of challenge in the 92nd minute. His biggest problem will always be that he’s capable of doing something catastrophic at any given moment. He’s a likable fella and clearly popular with the players bit he’s just brain dead

I think they are just scared of him because he looks like he should be a hitman in a cartel.

thought rojo was excellent last night tbh

He's got the 2nd best job in the World, after the number 3 keeper whose name I can't even remember

Jesus the bloke can't pass. On at least half a dozen occasions we moved the ball around looking for a gap it comes to him and he hoofs a lofted ball down the line to nobody.

He's a decent squad player as he covers 2 positions but we don't want him part of a back 3 where passing is paramount.

Lingard now on the fringes of being a squad player.

It's a damn shame Tuanzebe picked up an injury imo.

Yes - a footballer - exactly what we need in a back three.

To think we've had a back 3 with Smalling and Jones in it

Just seen the Chelsea goal again.

Harry Maguire.

Dear god. Pep was right - he is slow.

He's not that slow but not very nimble but has a lot of other qualities. I think he's a better footballer than given credit for - a decent passer and can bring the ball out.

Not criticising how he plays - just how slow he was when turned.

Not sure if it was ears or bunks but they said he turns slower than the QE2.

Any news on that?

What did he do?

All I know is he pulled out during the Liverpool warm up.

Maybe that's why he wanted to buy him.

Just watched their goal back, and I've been a bit harsh on Romero - De gea wouldn't have saved that, it was a bullet. McGuire and Rojo though.

Not sure if you’re serious or not. It reminded me of this

You don’t think our defence is miles better this year?

vs last year? so far. But we're conceding a goal a game on average.
