    I didn't say this is all of seen of him. I meant I've seen him a little before today and wasn't as hyped for him as others seem to be.1

    I didn't say we should never play him either.2

    Also the Rashford example isn't a great one - quite sure he set the main stage on fire with his first performance in the main side?3

    1. He was youth player of the year last season against some serious competition so I guess people disagree with you!

    2. Sorry for that

    3. He scored twice in his debut in the Europa League and twice again on his PL debut against Arsenal … you are extremely demanding. You know very well that I was saying since coming on today!
     
    Very ugly performance but will take that result which is the most important thing.

    Also first back to back clean sheets this season
     
    Impossible to judge Chong on today's performance, he needed a whole game to allow the adrenaline to calm down and this limited attacking performance doesn't help.

    He ha shown very high pace and energy, good skill. The ability to pick a sensible pass. What we've not seen is any sensible crossing or ability around box

    There was one cross it was massively long.
     
    On to the next round. Good.

    I don't get people saying we don't deserve our lead.

    Didn't Mata deserve his penalty? VAR confirmed it.

    Didn't Lukaku deserve his goal?

    We deserve our lead, people just like being miserable.

    The fact that we haven't played well and are still winning is a good sign though.
     
    Romero 7 MOTM

    Dalot 6

    Chong 5
    Rashford 5
     
    Lukaku, just in case there was any doubt, top off, showing that it is muscle not fat that he is carrying.
     
    Enjoyed that, finally got to see the whole squad going into the second half of the season. Take the result too.

    i didn't misconstrue anything, merely asked what you were expecting to see. you're adding connotations to my post. I did add the qualifiers of the current match he's playing in, but that was only to contextualise things

    Good point. Anyway, back to Chong - I wasn't really that impressed with him. Were you? Would have liked to see Greenwood instead, unless he really was injured.
     
    First four games superb. More like the United we expect. This was more the kind of game we would expect from Mourinho. But that will be because of all the changes and you can bet most of these will be out for Spurs.
     
    Sanchez finished
    Pereira so overrated
    Mctomminy wtf
    Lukukka squad player at best
    Jones on same level as Maguire haha

    It was definitely a fan, I was being sarcastic in the mentioning of the tactics being shouted. It's just vulgarities from the crowd. Other notable shouts have been 'Total wank!', 'Christ sake man!' and 'Piss off, dickhead!'

    1. Not every youth player of the season explodes onto the big stage.

    2. No problem.

    3. I never said he had to match Rashford. You brought Rashford into a Chong debate.

    I'm just saying I'm not as hyped from Chong as I have been by others in the past. They're so young though - anything can happen. Just not seen as much yet to get excited for.

    Things like having a group of players who've hardly played together ever? I wonder where all these great managers are who can instantly gel a group of 11 players into a team who know each others strengths....

    Player unfamiliarity doesn’t account for the snails pace we have been playing at or the fact that the players out there look half arsed.
     
    It's embarassing how much people are shitting on our players in these match threads.
