I think a bit more practice at passing would be in order.

.also cant wait for the the return of Joe Rodon in this team.his presence and defending.we need clean sheets as we struggle to score more than one

only one match in seven have we scored more than once.

I had a feeling this one was not going to be as easy as many thought. After all the extravagant score forecasts, and people saying this was a good time to play them, I was worried we might get turned over, and in the end am content with a draw.

We should have had a pen when Maguire tried to pull Amps head off, but amazingly VAR checked and passed it, but that don't surprise me. As per usual Fernandes and Co spent half the time whingeing and moaning when things didn't go their way.

I thought overall we were the better team today but I woi argue about the draw.
We're scoring at about the same rate as we did last year but goals conceded is way better. Probably only Arsenal and Brighton behave conceded fewer. We are a difficult team to beat but the results are probably reflecting the Summer transfer activity.

We recruited very well at the back but apart from Wilson, who's not going yet, we added no experience up front where there was an obvious need for better competition for places and cover if one of the two strikers got injured.
DCL is performing well but it would be nice to have someone else who can push him more than Nmecha.

Nmecha is. in the whole fairly pointless let's be honest, we are definitely going. to be. light. in the goals dept this Seez, What' was the point of taking Bahoya ? Today was a game crying out for a winger to take game head on,and yet we failed miserably out wide,only consolation for me was Brendan didn't make an appearance.

Last year after 7 games we were 15th on 8 pts having scored 7 goals and conceded 11. This year 7th place on 10 pts scored 9 and conceded 6 so better on every metric. The 45% reduction in goals against is particularly pleasing.

There's not much point doing a Jim Bowen on it ( telling us what we could have won ) Sunderland good last Seez not so much this Seez, they can't use this as leverage if the slide continues

My point is, that was then
This is now

Utd were there for all 3 yet we did struggle a fair bit against them. God forbid if Dom pulls a. sicky, those numbers you speak of will diminish quicker than we'd all appreciate.

Indeed Chris scary thought

as a DCL injury would turn us into a sort of George Graham's no goals scored team of 1996/97.

I was amazed the commentators didn't comment more on Amps clear cut penalty.
Neville is a twat but usually quite impartial.

Nothing personal Chris, but one of my pet hates is seeing people refer (as you did) to Man Utd as "United". There is no football team called "United", there's a Leeds United, a Manchester United, and 7 or 8 other Uniteds in the PL and EFL, and in this city when we say "United" it ain't the shower from Manchester we're referring to.

Please use the correct terminology in future.
To Corkey, I agree about nobody commenting on Amps missed penalty, on the BBC MOTD, the incident was not even included in their coverage.

{Ed001's Note - please do not use manure to refer to them, it is highly offensive as it originates from a song sung about the Munich disaster, which had a line about them all being manure in the snow or something like that.}

Sorry Ed, never my intention to reference Munich, though I do think it's high time that sleeping dog is allowed to lie after 68 years. I've seen that word used by others here, and always thought of it as just being ManU with a couple of letters added.

{Ed001's Note - it should have been edited out.}

Ask anyone the world over who you speak of when you say "Utd" and it's "Man" in front of it.

Obviously, we don't like it, but to suggest other than that is just wrong as famous as our name is let's be honest.
We will never be as well known around the world as them

Don't shoot zee messenger.
