This has been better for the simple reason that the players are managing to keep possession for more than 10 seconds.

Well done Lindelof

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Ball from Fred was amazing.

 

[James35]

Get in McFred

 

[Anustart89]

Goal-saving intervention from Lindelöf there.

 

[Ranchero]

More energy that’s all we want to see.

Hate to say that....och i cant be bothered

 

[Woodenlung]

Started quite well. Our press has looked better and we're playing quick passes to our wingers in space so they can run at defenders.

One issue is that Villa have managed to get in on goal a few times after bypassing the press. A sign that things aren't quite as coordinated as they could be yet.

 

[diarm]

Much, much better. Not just the goal, but that first 8 minutes across the park.

 

[Bastian]

Rangnick looks right handed even though he celebrates with his left

 

[The Firestarter]

Not sure what has happened with Bruno

 

[Ranchero]

He hasn't played at all to be rubbish.

He has. He was rubbish.

 

[GifLord]

1-0
McTominay

 

[Vidyoyo]

Lindelof with a superb piece of defending

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Ffs Bruno. The passing from him is shocking.

 

[Ali Dia]

Fred is the man.

 

[Bubz27]

Rangnick clearly worked out we're useless at corners. Trying something different at them now, and the goal came from that passage of play.

 

[Withnail]

Jaysus could have been 1-1 immediately

What is the formation?

Is it just a 4231 with Greenwood and Rashford very wide?

 

[PoTMS]

Really poor defending.

 

[The Firestarter]

Feck, they could have scored two already

 

[KingCavani]

That defensive work from Fred…oh my

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Bck to how ole played and already makes much more sense with players we have. Hopefully defence holds up

 

[Massive Spanner]

He’s a tricky lil bugger.

 

[Shark]

We're getting torn a new arsehole again at the back.

 

[ha_rooney]

The defending is still too weak.

 

[calodo2003]

Anyone got a good river? Mine just crapped out.

 

[bosnian_red]

This has been better for the simple reason that the players are managing to keep possession for more than 10 seconds.

Probably helps that the striker isn't giving it away instantly trying a pointless flick

 

[laughtersassassin]

Nice to be ahead but we we are doing some pathetic defending.

Fred not even goal side there. Everyone else all over the place too

 

[48 hours]

Awful cross Bruno

 

[Withnail]

Overall better from us so far but they're getting in way too easily.

 

[Banana Republic]

Fred’s short legs and small stature allowed that attack.

 

[big rons sovereign]

Nothing in midfield there. The little prick just waltzed straight through.

 

[Ranchero]

Not sure what has happened with Bruno

Never the same after the Mike Tyson mauling.

 

[Crimson King]

Doing our best to try and throw away this early lead...

 

[The Firestarter]

The feck was that

 

[2 man midfield]

Need some control

 

[KingCavani]

Rashford only thinking about shooting

 

[united for life]

Is marcus trying today? I don’t mind at all

 

[Woodzy]

Rashford on it today

 

[Hansi Fick]

This co-commenter on the BBC, does he ever shut up?
