Have not had chance to see more than you tube highlights of first three games so was wondering if someone could give me an honest view of what is happening, especially as we seem to have played the same or similar team in all 3.
Depending on who you read we are either progressing well or no different to last year.
Thanks all.
{Ed0666's Note - be careful what you wish for mate and be greatful you only watch highlights. For me plus points are Martial, Rashford, James. Negatives I haven’t got all day. What I will say is if Ole finishes the season as united manager I’ll be flabbergasted.

You can hear the truth on here or a load of boloxology.

Sounds brutal but probably true Ed0666. I want to stay positive as I think its still early days but I thought we would hit the ground running and it may catch up with us after 7-10 games. Feels like we are struggling already even if certain ares are improved.
Leahy, I'm a glass half full rather than empty person but also realist. Not into twisted fake positivity which is why I thought I would ask on here as the message is Always slanted with pundits and papers dependent on who the writer or pundit is.

Brad here is my honest opinion.
We really should have won all 3 games. But we didn't because iur players are simply not good enough to take their chances.
Ddg. Not playing well beaten twice at his near post today. He has been shakey for club and country now for over a year.
AWB. Has been solid looks a very good signing.
Lindelof and maguire. It will take time bad as a pair for the first goal today.
Shaw. Looks to be injured again. Has did ok in the first 2 games.
Notsoyoung. Hopefully dalot will be back soon.
Pogba. He was poor all game today but sparked the equaliser but cost us their winner. That sums him up really. A couple of decent flashes punctuated by moments of stupidity. Should have been sold i wouldn't be against selling him if madrid make an offer next week.
Mctom. Doing ok solid. Has to be given more time.
Pierera. Average joe.
Lingard. Has been very poor well below the reqired standard.
Mata. Hardly had a kick.
Fred. Not made a squad.
Dalot not made a squad
Smalling not made a squad
Jones not made a squad.
Greenwood hardly had a kick
Dan james been the best of the summer signings
Gomes not made a squad
Rashford been good at times wasteful at times what you expect from a young forward.
Martial same as rashford but a lot better than last season.
Matic not made the pitch yet
Chong hardly had a kick.
The football is boring uninspiring and insipid.
Ole is spouting the same old lines to the media.
Our midfield selection for the 2 spots are matic finished. Fred missing in action. Pogba who doesn't want to be here and mctom who is learning on the job.
Our no 10 options are the technically inept lingard the aging mata or pierera who can't play there or gomez who does not look ready yet and is still a child really.
Our right wing options are
Midfielder mata. Midfielder lingard left winger james
The way i see it is we will win games when it all clicks and lose games against crap teams because we are going to be woefully inconsistent.
2 of the 3 games we have hardly registered a shot on target. Wolves and palace keepers hardly had to make a save.
The real positives have been the new signings in fact along with martial they have been our best 4 players.
All we can do is hope that we improve as the seadon goes on.
But so far its been the reverse of that.
Good against Chelsea
Average against wolves
Appalling against palace
3 wins in our last 15 games tells its own story.
Brad. Stick to youtube check in in a couple of months and well let you know if its safe to come out from behind the couch. 😂
I think ole will do well to survive that long to be honest.

Precise and to the point there ken. I certainly can't argue with any of that.

Are there 665 eds now? Welcome 666.
{Ed0666's Note - Thankyou DSG. I was eds333 but kept getting mistaken for Ed’s 033 so I thought I’d go full devil.
