[BarstoolProphet]

We have actually been okay after the first 15 mins.

Yeah. Showing some nice technical stuff and pressing. Lack a bit of cohesion still, though.

 

[DJ_21]

Turned around the possession and chances by a lot

 

[Castia]

Started to look better after the opening 20 minutes

Not sure there’s enough goal threat though we need to get Zirkzee on probably for Mount

 

[Livewire1974]

Same shite as last season.

 

[Someone]

Ok 1st half, we're pressing well and in control. Bruno's lack of composure is costing us. Cas is our best player. Mount and rashford invisible.

 

[FireballXL5]

Garnacho on for Rashford please. Mount off for anyone else.

 

[mav_9me]

Watched from 28 min on, we have dominated. Can't believe it's 0-0....

 

[Tibs]

Cynical? Yes. Clinical? No

 

[edgecutter]

Need a proper striker in this team. Hopefully Ruud warms up.

 

[DarkXaero]

Mount for Zirkzee is the most obvious change

 

[lysglimt]

It was a lot better than Wolves last season - but we need a striker

 

[DJ_21]

Think Bruno’s been poor so far compared to the rest who have been quite good. Two missed sitters, some poor passes and touches. Needs to clean it up if everything is going to run through him

Think Rashford and Mount have been worse.

 

[Tiber]

Garnacho should be one of the first names on the teamsheet. Wasted on the bench

 

[Frosty]

Same shite as last season.

Slightly less shite shite, to be fair

 

[Livewire1974]

Yeah. Hopefully we’ll get into our stride by the half hour mark.

Maybe this is our stride.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Where's SAF? We need a Twitter account dedicated to his whereabouts.

 

[Solius]

Casemiro fecking up every chance he gets.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Decent end to the half.

Not sure if this box midfield is necessary vs Fulham. Hope to see Zirkzee on for Mount at some point.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Bruno missed 2 chances but weren't easy ones, not that bad of performance but we need to see far more than what's on display.

 

[RedIan]

Zirkzee for mount please.

 

[Pronewbie]

With Zirkzee and Garnacho on in the 2nd half, and maybe a De Ligt appearance, and we should be good for a win.

 

[simonhch]

Very decent performance so far. Lots of positives. Better finishing and we’d be two up. Can’t make that the theme of our season, so need to be clinical the second half. The possession and movement is good. Would like to see more from Diallo. One good run, and some nice little passes aside, he’s been quiet.

Defence has been very good. Maguire has been terrific. Mazraoui is such a massive upgrade on AWB it’s almost laughable.

 

[Nick7]

Grew into the game after the first 15 minutes. Should really be ahead. Would like to see Zirkzee second half.

 

[Solius]

Feels like we’re wanting a second too long on the ball so far. Need to get that sharpness.

Impressed with Mazraoui.

 

[Teja]

Decent first half. Still needs a lot of work to control games

I thought we did well after the initial new season enthusiasm from Fulham / nerves from us wore off. Good counter press, good build up, good movement and made several chances.

Disappointed not to have converted atleast one.

 

[bosnian_red]

First 20 minutes were horrible. Fine after that. Bruno should've scored. But also, too slow, we like pissing it around at Maguire's feet too much, and we lack a goalscorer. Need Zirkzee on for Mount.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

Rashford has been very involved so far in our passing patterns, doing a good pressing job and has nearly been in a couple of times. Mount has been tidy as well. Slow start but the forward play has been encouraging the last 15 minutes.

Mount I can forgive as he's been away a while, but Rashford has barely managed a couple of basic passes. Cannot get past anyone, cannot pass more than 10 yards. He looks like a 40 year old in his last season.

 

[Tibs]

Decent first half, should have scored at least one.

Mount and Rashford missing so hopefully they turn up or get replaced

 

[Bobski]

Some bad to start with, some good to decent afterwards, still a bit low percentage based but what was encouraging was how the press got control of their transitions after a worrying start, hasn't been a factor in the last 25.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

look a bit slow and rusty. Made a sluugish start, but came into the game, should be 2-0 up. Mazraoui assured on his debut

 

[dubplate warrior]

Quite impressed with Mazraoui so far

Watching him shows how poor Wan Bissaka is on the ball. Him and Amad are making us look far more balanced.

 

[moodyred]

Overall a good performance. Two players need to step up or be subbed. Rashford and Mount.

 

[RORY65]

The 1st 20 minutes was really poor, looked like the same issues as last year (midfield getting run through and a centre back pairing lacking pace on the turn and therefore desperate to backtrack), but the rest of the half wasn't too bad and Bruno had 2 very presentable chances. Probably should be ahead while not exactly setting the world alight.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Good first half

 

[Maureen-yo]

Garnacho on for Rashford please. Mount off for anyone else.

Why? We’ve dominated and created 6 clear chances, it’s been working well.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Good half on balance. Started slow and control. Bruno has to score at least one. We’re so rushed in those situations, maybe we can just sub on Ruud and he’ll score a hat trick.

 

[Todd]

We look lively enough, just need to make the most of our chances...same old problem as always.

Mazraoui looks like he'll fit in nicely.

 

[Bwuk]

Zirkzee & Garnacho for Mount & Rashford the obvious changes

 

[calodo2003]

Who in the feck is Jelly Roll?

 

[Woodzy]

Good half, not much to worry about after the opening 10 mins but we clearly lack the X factor still.
