    Darmian is a beast defensively. Attacking wise playing it safe.
     

    Twitter: pictures of Schneiderlin and Darmian





    Bit of a shit half really. At least we have the goal. A tiny bit of intensity and pace in our game and we could score a few more, spurs are shite.

    Ander needs to come on basically
     
    Much better after the goal. Looked to really settle our team down a lot. Depay has looked decent and on the whole the team is doing ok. Need to work on getting a bit more penetration as we are not really creating any major chances.

    It's so painfully obvious we need to play Mata in the middle and Depay on the flank.

    Think both have been decent but yeah, that would seem natural. Way too obvious for LVG though.

    On another note, negativity in this thread is overwhelming.

    He's one of the hardest working players on the pitch right now, also one of our better players. I don't see why you would say that.

    He works hard yeah, just irks me how whenever he fails to beat his man he always puts his hands up and asks for a free kick. He also shouldn't be starting. Too one dimensional and predictable.
     
    Matteo Darmian has been brilliant at Right Back. No wonder he is highly rated in Italy. He knows how to defend

    And people were happy with Valencia, anyone else think Darmian never seems to be breaking a sweat?

    I sort of wish he had to keep that ball in. But yes he looks good. They all do actually. Memphis looks good which is really pleasing. Shame its only 1 nil!
     
    Not that bad for an opening day game, i just wish we could inject a bit of pace in our play, our players are practically walking with the ball at times.
     
    Darmian has been our best player I thought.

    Schneiderlin has been giving silly balls away, so has Mata on a couple of occasions.

    Feeling there's too much of a gap between Carrick/Schneiderlin and The forwards
     
    Terrible start, much better after the goal.

    Still not having Mata out wide. Blind hasn't been strong enough up against Kane when he's been tested.

    Darmain, Memphis and Morgan have been excellent.

    We are still too slow.
     
    We got the goal, but I wonder why Rooney didn't smash that first time?
     
    Wish we were going in 2-0 up. Not bad first half but need those goals.
     
    I'll take the 1-0 lead, poxy as it may have been. Can't believe Rooney didn't take that first time. I was very concerned for a period there but we grew into the game once we got the goal thankfully. I would rate Darmian as our best player so far.
     
    Young can't get past his man without stopping and claiming for a foul. Rooney way off the pace.
     
    Mata, schneiderlin and Depay have grown into the game. Spurs initially Good pressing and had loads of confidence. That seems to have gone after the goal. Some players are still sleeping. GK distribution is crap. RB and LB have carried on from pre-season both very good.
     
    Darmian, wow.

    His awareness is amazing. Looks like he's playing his 100th game for us today. How old is he?
     
    Pedro is really gonna be a big upgrade on Young. Get that done asap please.

    Put Depay out wide and Mata in the middle.

    Bring in Herrera for Schneiderlin who has been a bit sloppy imo.
