James laying on the pitch after the clear no-foul call, then Leeds goes down the right wing because McTominay has to play up. No foul, get up and GOHorrible set piece defending thenFred gives a freekick in this position every other matchBullet dodged.That's a bad wall
Not as a nr 9 though, Greenwood is killing it there!Ha ha at Jim Beglin then, true thoughIn truth; we are playing really well. With Cavani and Sancho up there, we would be leading for sureI think we got lucky there..I'm sure we will see a Sancho cameo in the 85th minute. You know what Ole is like for making subs.I see we're still shit in defending set pieces ? The guy was completely free.My god I'm glad we've signed Sancho. Dan James is just hard to watch.Where is out set piece coach ?We’re going to concede on a set piece, it’s inevitableIt's typical we start well but don't score....What a miss from Rodrigo, we still struggle in set piecesFeeble shot PogbaJames gets kicked in the leg and the 'caf continues the torrent of abuse at the young man. Very good.Ole's line-up already showing he's not up to the job of moving us to champions. Negative shit.I guess having Lucy on BT commentary there means Fletcher can hardly get a word in.
Silver linings….
He's just poor infront of goal.
We've been defensively shakey today. Leeds look a threat the odd time they get an attack togetherWhat was that from Pogba?
James gets kicked in the leg and the 'caf continues the torrent of abuse at the young man. Very good.
Even that one just a few minutes ago. Great position to get a touch and take a shot or dive one across the goal. He does neither because his touch is shite.Nice pass to their GK.
What good stuff? He tdid that (risky) tackle and that is it.James ffs
He's definitely a bit lightweight and could do with working on his touch, but his pace is a huge weapon and his off the ball running and work is good.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to have Sancho on instead, but James does have his (admittedly limited) uses.
We should get top class coaches. Not sure if I would class our new guy as that but I guess we'll seeJames needs to goI can’t keep defending James, I was hoping he will progress. The politest way of saying it is he’s shit!James is such a poor footballer. I'd take a half fit Martial or Sancho over him.Every time the ball goes to James he ends up on the floor.
Gets bullied about every game. Too softPogba looks like he doesnt care, and i'm no Pogba haterMcTominay having a stormer.Bruno looks so sharpMcSauce our best player so far.James seems to get embarrassed as the match goes on due to the amount of times he messes things up.
Sancho isnt match fit for 90 minutes and Donny has not been playing that well in pre-season. Sorry.- Status
