That cross attempted by McTominay was dreadful

Shame he didn't see that six foot player in a bright yellow kit

Better than no mindset at all

Soo unlucky from sancho great play

Random Task · Nov 23, 2021

The difference when Bruno and Rashford came on though.

BarstoolProphet · Nov 23, 2021

Sancho will be a wonderful player for us.

Hopefully people see how important Bruno is & always was.

Indeed. So much better on the ball already since he came on

I think Lindelof has somehow come out of this horror phase with a little credit. I'd start him over Maguire

Hes been playing well recently

Canucantona20 · Nov 23, 2021

Mctominay man. Can’t believe he’s still playing

Rajma · Nov 23, 2021

Bruno has been 2 minutes and some beautiful stuff already from him, any manager will absolutely love to have him.

Like they were desperate for Ole to succeed, they are desperate for McT to be the next Carrick, although I seem to remember people moaning about Carrick doing zombie passing.

KennyBurner · Nov 23, 2021

Bruno actually making the difference when he isn’t wasting possession.

Santos J · Nov 23, 2021

Mad that we bring on a really creative player and instantly create something. Who would've thought!

Ixion · Nov 23, 2021

You can see there are signs of life there if we had a little confidence. We're just so fragile.

Mike Smalling · Nov 23, 2021

Sancho has been much better today.

Lecland07 · Nov 23, 2021

Good ball by Fred to Ronaldo. Need more in the box, though.

I agree.
But you minimize the chance with the McFred duo for wandering off.

Dan_F · Nov 23, 2021

So much better from Bruno. He’s got the right blend of slowing things down and playing forward perfect so far.

Bruno suffers the most from static teammates. He will be back to being great again under a competent manager.

I hope that people now understand that it was not manager fault. Our players lack quality. Hard to work with that. I hope next manager will somehow do some magic.

No it is the same coaching staff he hired. So he is responsible for this. Next manager has to sack this coaching staff.

bosskeano · Nov 23, 2021

fantastic save against Sancho when you expected him to bulge the ole onion bag

pseudo_canadian · Nov 23, 2021

Never want to see McTominay ever again on the field. Taking VdB off instead of him is a sackable offense

I’m sure Poch wanted him at Spurs.

Brilliant pass right into his feet. Perfect weight to control.

Even if he wasn't there genuinely don't think it had the power to roll onto Ronaldo

The more I am watching the game, the more happy I am to see Ole-less team. Should have been released from his duties much earlier. We are a bunch of strangers heavily reliant on individual brilliance. How much does this Villareal squad cost? A third of ours?

You do realise we still have the same coaching team ole blessed us with for now

Wheato · Nov 23, 2021

This is better. Stringing some passes together.

Andycoleno9 · Nov 23, 2021

Sancho under good coach will be amazing

United Hobbit · Nov 23, 2021

Savage "it's amazing what happens when people run round" :lol:

He will indeed. One of the biggest victims of Ole's horrible tactics and coaching.

I don’t think it’s a lack of quality except central midfield, and an uninspiring captain way out of form. They need to work a lot harder.

I know this is not breaking news but I still am amazed at how bad our CM is. I mean have they made a single vertical between the lines pass all game? And we aim to be a top team with that midfield?

that’s why donny needs to play there. Any player who plays in front of these two will suffer.

KennyBurner · Nov 23, 2021

Fred gets so much stick when he is such a crucial player for us.

He needs to stay disciplined. This is his problem

AndySmith1990 · Nov 23, 2021

The highlight of the match for me is Sancho's performance. A good coach who can get the best out of him will do us wonders.

I'm not so sure that it helps much tbh. They've had good chances and DDG bailed us out. They are way too limited to hope for any control of the game.

GlasgowCeltic · Nov 23, 2021

Doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the other guy

InspiRED · Nov 23, 2021

Ref really hates Ronaldo.

Bebestation · Nov 23, 2021

VDB had a yellow, he had to be subbed.

People cried about Fred's double yellow vs PSG.

That's not saying VDB shouldn't start more games but he had to be subbed today.

Amar__ · Nov 23, 2021

kouroux said:
What does McT offer ? Defensively I mean. No way VDB is worse than him

He is not.

People see Mctominay and think he is better defensively because he is tall. He is not even physically that strong, and he is hardly doing any smart pressing on the players using his body.

His defensive stats from today are 1 aerial ball won and that's it.

House Mkhitaryan · Nov 23, 2021

Eventually, proper coaching and tactics will get some combo of Sancho, Bruno, Rashford, Greenwood, van de Beek playing scintillating football.

Jesus christ some of our fans really are thick as pig shit.

Because we are still shit in our first game under oles coaches it means ole wasn't to blame?
