Maybe a few will get a bit of perspective of where we're at now. 3 good wins was nice but we're not the finished article by any stretch. I think Jose got the team selection wrong today. Should of kept Mata in the side and miki central. When teams sit deep leaving no space behind as stoke did were better with Mata in the side. Miki is much more effective centrally and as soon as he moved into the middle he assists a goal.

Two things today. Set piece delivery was poor and defending set piece was poor. Not sure what jones was doing for th second stoke goal. Anyway, we move onto the next game.

Really surprised he changed the shape today.
Jones looked more like his usual self today much more like we are used to.
. Darmian did as well as i expected in his first game.
Herrera looked rusty and off the pace fisrt game too.
Bailly fell asleep twice for their goal.
Pogba matic and miki all played below the level of the previous 3 games.
We still got a point and they are not the easiest of teams to play against. Although i still feel we dropped 2 points instead of gaining 1
Fletch was great imo.

A football team is never the finished artical if your not moving forwards your going backwards .
Shape was poor today imo but we might of got beat playing another way .

I thought pogba was pretty average today but if he wasn't playing the performance would of been because pogba wasnt playing . Can't win them all.

Grand scheme of things. Decent result. Always hard to win there and I felt we could have won had a couple of things gone our way.

But we should be picking up 3 wins from the next 3 games. Shampton, Everton and palace should all be there for the taking. None of the above teams are playing well at the moment.

Spot on jred. Looking forward to Tuesday Basle have proved to be tricky customers before but i'm expecting a big game from martial who looked good today and he is fresh i was surprised that he didn't start today after no intl football. i'd akso like to see miki back in the middle.

I think Everton is always a tricky game for us.

Not the end of the world, but that is another games we looked laborious in. I'm worried about our build up play and lack of options for the man with the ball. Still similar to last season at the moment.

We are better because we have added over £125mil of talent, but in terms of development of style it's regressing again. I was bored watching us again today.

Stoke away is always hard, but tactics were wrong and we lacked dynamism. We have a lot better teams to play than Stoke so it's 2 points dropped and another average performance following an excellent first game to the season.

Relax. Can't win them all and can't play well every week. Good point at Stoke when we were under par. Move on to the next match and go again. This is a very competitive league and there will be worse setbacks than a good point away from home.

It wasn't a good game for us. We had up to 15 players I think on international duty while Stoke had 4 or so. Two weeks of rest and prepaturio against our 3 days rest window will definitely give Stoke a physical edge.

Add to the fact that they are already a physical side and you'll get the picture.

Two things got me in that game;

The first is how we allowed Fletcher to dictate the game. Being a very experienced and wily player, I expected Jose to make us pressure them in the midfield and not give him chance to settle because he was always going to be their creative outlet.
For perspective, every time Pogba got the ball, Fletcher was their to push, foul, or try to unsettle him.


Second issue is one of the reasons I badly wanted us to get both Perisic and Aurier. These two guys would have provided solution to that problem from both flanks.
Yesterday's game, Manchester United had about 31 crosses but only 4 got to a United player.
4 bloody successful crosses! I was mad. I know Valencia fights and gives a 100% but goddamn it, can't hit a barn door with a Cross.

Having a player like Lukaku who thrives on such. Just look back at his headed goals during the international break.

Even if we can't get in a good aerial ball, our low crosses are a disaster. For comparison, look at Stoke's beautiful cross for the first goal.

Well, I hope things will get better from here.

Great point on the crosses Yaz. I also noticed several occassions where Pogba and Lukaku made great runs into the box for a first time or early ball and time after time the ball was delayed or recycled backwards.

It's almost like we don't release the ball unless they have stared at the option for 2 seconds beforehand. There were a few great runs made which would have meant the attacker was clean through as well, but yet again we didn't see the ball because we were too busy trying not to lose the ball. Ridiculously the times we did just whip it in or play the blind pass nothing was on and it was a waste.

This is why I am a little concerned, because these things should be improving the more they play together, but it's been going backwards since the first game.

Scored 2 and should of really had a couple more, 2.1 up with 30 minutes to go so not sure we can blame it on not having a winger .

Poor in cm and the cb area yesterday, lost the midfield to Fletcher and give silly goals always.

10 Sep 2017 10:57:33
I think we will demolish sides if we had a wide player jred.

10 Sep 2017 11:25:36
Sch
It the same all the time what ever we don't have would make us unbeatable .
If we bought a winger he would never have a bad game would instantly be the best player in the league .

If a player is on the bench ( normally for a good reason ) He would of been amazing if he had of played .

4 games 12 goals top of the league. We are not struggling to score goals or make chances.
