Meh half, understandable after a long break. Bruno was good, Casemiro and Dubravka a bit dodgy.

We're leading and looking fairly secure, except for some suspicious goalkeeping.
Better than expected after a break with some obvious starters missing.Burnley have been terrible so far and we should be up by more. Poor attack again. Move Rashford to the left and sub Garnacho for Pellistri. Malacia for Shaw.Unlucky Burnley, could've been 10-0 up at half timeDecent half - some understandable rust from lads like McTominay, Garnacho and Martial but we improved as the half wore on.
Fancy us to score another couple in the second half. Would love a clean sheet as well, but I’m less confident of that.
Everything we could ask for in a half from Wan-Bissaka. Games like this will help us sell him for a few quid more.
Sensible, common sense post. What's your tagline about?Antony for Garnacho
Yup... if only they had the ball more, took more shots, and fouled less.Decent half from us. In full control for majority of that. Really nice team goal. Bruno, Casemiro, Eriksen & AWB our best players.
Burnley have looked dangerous whenever they have got that Benson on the ball.
Cas was probably our best player. Playing at the back and has looked solid.Why does everyone keep playing Rashford on the right when the best he has ever played has been as a left winger? Don't understand it.Commentators trying too hard to convince us that Burnly had more possession and we are resorting to counter attack football, then when Sky shows the stats at probably 35 mins, we had more possession, more shots against Burnly 0 attempts at target and 12 touches in theirs box against 0 for Burnly ... The whole time I am asking myself what game are they watching!!!Good half, should be 2 ahead with the opportunities we've had. Gotta give props to AWB. He's had almost no football this season, knows he will probably be sold next month, but still has retained the ball under pressure and was fantastic for the goal. Good ball by Bruno too.
Dubravka's shoddy 5 mins aside, we've looked comfortable. Score another in the next 20 and this game should be done. Not bad against the top championship side with 0 first choice defenders.
And had prime Maradona, Pele, Messi, with Matthaus, Xavi, Zidane behind themAfter Garnacho's two feck ups in the box, Bruno has refused to play him in despite being in great positions. Not sure what to make of that.Need to keep AWB if he can maintain the level of the first half. Proving he’s a good back-up to Dalot.Solid first half but, think we've missed.a beat to get the second. Few times we've turned back needlessly and weirdly Bruno has had more than a few chances to play ball to Garnacho to give him a chance to go one on one and has decided to hold on to the ball instead.
Can't let Burnley come at us to start at the second half, something we have seem to have done more than a few times after really controlling the first half against other teams this season.
Guessing its which players are fit and who is the best XI on the dayDubravka has been absolutely shocking every game for us.
Seem to remember him letting in terrible weak goal against Villa as well.
Was thinking he might be OK but he has shrunken here!
Wan Bissaka though has been good actually, good shop window performance so far! Didn't looked even a bit pleased with his assist
Pretty decent 1st half
Nah its knee jerk IMO we need to ship him out and get an attack full back.
AWB is still far off the mark.Garnacho and Rashford have disappointed but solid display other than that.Good half tbh. Better than expected.
Burnley have been kept quiet. Had a couple problems down our left side that Malacia needs to be aware of but that's about it.
Bruno's gone back to his wasteful self post world cup.
Casemiro's passing out of the back has helped us a lot.
Mctominay needs to show for the ball more, feels like he's only on the pitch to win 50/50s in midfield, we really only have Eriksen that shows for the ball.Aaron Wan Cafu is backWe could definitely rein in the forced diagonals. After the goal Burnley have been way too alert to continue forcing the issue. Mix it up.We need a new backup GK.
Are you mad?
They’ve done gods work turning her mic down after the shite she spent the first ten minutes spouting.
Why would you want to hear more of her?
Like the one he put him through for the goal chance he fecked up?
drivelRashford and McT haven’t been great. Garnacho fecked up his chances as wel. Eriksen, Martial, and Bruno all look good. Casemiro looks better than Lindelof which is hilarious. And AWB increasing that price tag nicely
What's the story with Henderson? He's on loan, will he make it here?
His ego is too big to be backup, do you not remember his interview?
Does that mean he should have stopped doing it?Antony & Pellistri on for Garnacho & Rashford are two subs I’d make at HT.
On my stream I’ve honestly not understood a word she’s said. If it’s bad, long may it continue.
Think we’ve got other priorities first
No, my ADHD brain refuses to let me remember anything that isn't work related or some random fact I'll never need.
He's burned his bridges, I think. I don't think he's good enough anyway.Casemiro has come back from the world cup in great form. He is enjoying himself in the defence. This might become his position in a couple of years as he gets older.
He shit on United in an interview and said he can't wait to face us in a game- Status
