Yeah I felt there was a number of times today when the likes of Walker, Stones and Bellingham could have passed to Mainoo and they didn't. Given whenever he did get on the ball he generally looked comfortable and positive, I thought it was a bit odd.
As some have said, there isn't a standout candidate but in this moment I'd lean to Tuchel
Also why does Ancelotti never get a shout? I thought he was on the way out at Madrid and whilst he's not some cutting edge new name he's certainly capable
Those 2 goals conceded in the first half were abysmal.
Sancho, Pellistri, Mount and Onana all looked decent. As did Adeyemi for Dortmund.
Hope we can just chalk that result up to all of the travelling.
I thought Sancho and Pellistri looked good in that half, but I'm also wary that the conditions somewhat suit them.
Meanwhile, nice little reminder for the coach of who's a liability.
Totally agree.
Besides, we’re talking about teenager in his first season in a top league duelling against a 6’ 5” centre back who’s played over 300 games for United and still at the top level. Smalling ain’t a slouch.
Really don’t care about the fee or anyone else’s pessimism. He’s a brilliant talent and I’m excited to see how he develops as hopefully the focal point of our attack for years to come.
He definitely looks to have the potential.
I think he's an incredible talent I'd be ecstatic to see him line up with us.
The signs all seem largely positive so I'm hoping this can get wrapped up swiftly.
I like that he keeps it ticking and I think you can see he’s been working on his first touch in collecting the ball to build play.
I got a lot of confidence in this lad as he grows and matures in all aspects.
