Thought we played well enough, but we still can't finish our chances. We left at least two goals out there and probably a third.

We aren't great defensively, but I think we've the makings of a good side in attack. Lots of speed and good one touch attackers. That's why taking your opportunities is so important. We just look incapable of doing that.

We could easily be on three games won from four if we took our chances against Brighton and we'd be under nowhere near as much pressure.
 
Cannot really read much into that given how rubbish Southampton are. Goal difference of 0 after 4 games, which is not great. Hopefully todays injuries are not serious and this is the beginning of a decent run.
 
New signings look good. A nice feeling when these don’t ruin your weekend.
 
Happy for De Light and Rashford

Amad is our best player

Zirkzee will be immense once the finishing connects. His link-up play is incredible
 
Impressed with how we managed the game in the second half. Didn't give them a look in after the missed penalty. Promising signs from De Ligt, Zirkzee and Mazraoui.
 
Didn't concede dozens of shots. De ligt and mazraoui strong. Mainoo fantastic if not a little isolated early on
 
Convincing win, need a lot more.

The worrying thing is Maz is injured, De Ligt hobbled off injured, Maguire hobbled during the game and Martinez pulled up with some sort of injury.
 
Impressed with Zirkzee today. I'd like to see him as a 10 with Hojlund up top.

Ugarte looks like the player we need. Gets the ball back and simple pass to keep up the pressure.

De Ligt feels like a good signing. A good game again.
 
Comfortable win but Southampton are utter shite. Looked like a training ground excerise for most of the 2nd half.

Love the look of Ugarte. He's gona be some player this season.
 
Shitshow until we scored, after that we were cruising, God knows how it would all go if they scored from penalty.
 
Onana MOTM for me, saving that pen was so important. Decent game overall although still lacking some cutting edge even though we scored 3.

Zirkzee will be great as the SS behind Höjlund.

4 defensive injuries a bit annoying. Although none looked major.

lots of players got a run out.

Rashford scores and builds on confidence

Defensive injuries again an issue .

Zirkzee plays some nice stuff.

Ugarte now amongst it


Good day at the office, now build on it.
 
Good win. Settled down once we scored the first and were the better team. Could have scored more. Only negative is the flipping injuries again.
 
Got a bit lucky in the first half, but we were due for some. Last two matches weren't as bad as the results painted them out to be.

Not going to be naive and say this is a turning point, but at least we're starting to play a bit better football away from home.

Zirkzee really does string things together when he is on like today. Garnacho needs to start.
 
Gave MotM to Onana. Game turned on his penalty save.
 
Zirkzee finishing is very very alarming. We need a player who can finish. We are consistently missing sitters.

Having said that 3 goals and 3 very good finish by Rashford, De Ligt and Garnacho.

Feck the injuries again!

Dreadful 20 mins leading up to the penalty and then very good afterwards with some fine individual performance from Diallo, Zirkzee, De Ligt, Mazza especially.
