    You do realise that he isn't really playing any differently to the way he played last season.

    I don't remember it being so cumbersome and heavy footed.

    but if you're right, then the criticism towards Lukaku from some is bang out of order and without any context!
     
    Why is there absolutely no movement in attack? Bizarre.

    Luku Shaw has the ball out wide and nobody runs into the box to cross to and nobody runs over the support him.
     
    Holy shit we’re absolutely dire, can’t string more than a couple passes together. Pitch being tiny doesn’t help our game either.
     
    That tackle from Blind in our box was fantastic. Bit like Fletcher's that made him miss the CL final back then.
     
    Never seen such a clueless half of football, there was no game plan what so ever. No one played as a team, it’s like everyone is half asleep. So odd.
     
    We are making these guys look much better than they are. Would have been game over had one of the two early chances gone in. Early goal in the second and this is over.
     
    Bristol is an amazing city, so many cool pubs.

    I hope we do better in second half - it's one of those 'play the percentages' matches.
     
    How many times is Romero going to get that goal kick wrong.

    This better not go into extra time. Need fresh legs to maintain our mighty second place in the league, with the busy schedule.
     
    Pretty entertaining game so far but we haven't been great. Hopefully we see Herrera for Blind in the second half, need to get control in midfield.
     
    Zlatan’s been playing like a 36 year old coming back from a long term injury.

    Not sure what our plan is going forward but we could’ve nicked the odd goal if we were a bit lucky.
     
    We're clearly not giving them enough respect imo. Too many complicated and strange plays from us so far. If we don't wake up quickly we'll get punished.

    I think Bristol (not Rovers the other one @duffer) will have a problem keeping up this level all through the second half.

    Having said that, we should be over the horizon by now and the last thing we need is extra time!

    Have a problem with what level? They are comfortably playing better than us at the moment, we’re collectively looking shit.

    Summed up by Martial getting knocked over and just staying on the ground. No effort or urgency in getting up and getting a goal.

    That lad does my head in.
     
    With Ibra we have the same problem as last year, there's no one in the box when the ball is wide. He plays too deep.
     
    Should be at least one up. Goal will come in the second half. Could do with a little more urgency though.
     
    Not great is it. Pogba and Zlatan have both been very poor. Rashford had a few moments, but could have done better on some crosses. The defense is just not very good either. Valencia out looks like a huge blow since I don't want to play with Shaw or Darmian really.
