Strong performances all round besides Rashford and Hojlund. Possibly the best performance I've seen us put in this season in the league.
 
Garnacho and Amad making it even more obvious they should be starting over Rashford.
 
Nothing spectacular, but Ruud kept it simple and made logical decisions and we played in a controlled non-chaotic way, and having a midfield helps. As long as Amorim doesn't turn into some weird stubborn moron like Ten Hag we should be fine. Top 4 is still very much achievable
 
Our season starts today and we're kicking off with a clean slate of 0 goal difference. :)
 
Why did they wait so long to fire ETH, we would have been so much better of (league wise) if they did it last IB.

But enough about that, lovely 3 points, Bruno playing where he always should have played pays off and Ugarte was immense as well.
Dalot and Rashford just awful, Rashford worse(actually think he needs to get sold, unless Amorim suddenly gets something out of him). Pretty good defensive performance as well. Oh and feck you ETH for keeping Amad off the team for so long.
 
Very good result, good performance all round. Casemiro and Ugarte looked solid in midfield.
Actually looked like we could score as opposed to hoping we could.

Rashford is a complete waste of a space. Hoijlund isn't it. We need a proper, proven striker.
 
I don't like to give 10/10 usually but today i have to to Ugarte. Flawless, brilliant and my motm.
 
Ugarte was a menace in that midfield.

Good overall game, very smart to be solid and compact in the second half, Bruno and Cas were brilliant, our whole back 5 were good apart from Dalot who was rightly hooked off, Rashford was Rashford and Amad was trying his best in taking on his man and making things happen, he weaved through them in several occasions, Garna hit that beaut.

Happy days, thank you Ruud for your work.

Welcome Amorim
 
Amazing that we managed to win 3-0 with only 9 players on the field
 
Keep Ruud and play Leicester every week, jobs a good un.

Seriously though, Ruud's done about as well as he could've, feels like he didn't try anything too fancy just shored things up by playing Casemiro and Ugarte as well as making some changes to how we press which helped us hold a much better shape for the most part and that gave the forward players a better platform to work from.
 
Nice work. Leicester are a poor side. But we did the job. Amad is slowly becoming our best wide player. The Amad fans on here like myself being proven right week by week. Hope Ruud stays on as a coach.

Hojlund is simply not the answer. Let's embrace the harsh truth and look forward to a replacement.
I will not mind Garnacho stepping into the 9 role till summer.
 
The big difference between this and ETH is that we actually are solid and compact in midfield.
 
Decent win, bit scrappy but got the job done. Top class goals from Bruno and Garnacho, fantastic midfield play from Ugarte (oh my god how have we missed someone like that), solid enough in defence. Still work to do up top, but we'll get there.

Zirkzee did well in that link up role when he came on I thought, much more so than Hojlund managed in his time on the pitch. Something to watch.. not sure why we can't rate Zirkzee in the ratings but that might have been his best showing for us in that cameo.
 
Ugarte shows his class today. Players need time to adjust to a new team and new league, shocker I know.

My MOTM is Bruno, though, for sentimental reason. His 250th game for us, a goal, an assist and forcing an OG, unreal output!
 
Thank you Rudd. Restored some pride and confidence.
Very solid performance.

Ugarte looks the real deal at 6. Bruno, Amad, Cass and Garnacho all excellent.

Rashford continues to disappoint and Hojlund isn’t the one imo. Zirkzee did better when he came on.
 
When was the last time you had a hard time picking a motm because there were too many options?
Bruno had 2g+1a and edges it for me, but Ugarte was a machine in there.
Amad played well
Maz per usual
Cas was good again
