Konsa more to blame than mings imo.

Playing 'All right' - won't cut it away at Man U.

We wont play brilliantly every week though. That's why we need to be level headed. 

Think we've played ok.

Want a performance.

Just watched the early game - enough to rip out your own eyes.

Already hating the Sky Sports Mancfest. 

So obsessed with Grealish moving to them, always undermining us. We aren't a small club FFS. 

 

Just said "could he step up".  Hate sky and manure, both of them!!!!!

You really are the turd in the punch bowl. Can you just get behind the team FFS. 

Dont think I've seen all the emojis used for 1 post!

I'd play mings for his pace and distribution. Imo it's better than Hauses.

Best game for months. The old john mcginn, less arse more running. 

Is a measure of the progress we have made. Even pre8 lockdown we would have lost that 2 or 3 nil.

Our strength on the bench is a concern, but with mings  Barkley and trez out  the subs we could have made would have weakened us.

We done all!

Itll be nice to have a team set up to stop us playing as much as focusing on how they play. 

We'll play a high line - hold on watkins will run in behind.

We'll push the full backs up , Traore and El Ghazi are bang in form.

We'll go down the wings, what vs Cash and Targett?

Shall we pass it through the middle? Damn they've that Brizillian and the man with the arse. 

We'll play Giroud for his height - Hause has just kept 3 clean sheets and wins everthing in the air.

Shoot from distance - hasn't their keeper got the most clean sheets in the league? 

And then there's Jack.!!!!!!

not saying we will win, but it's nice to know the opposition will have to work for it. 

Doubted  his positioning repeatedly over last season. thought he timed everything perfectly today, really impressed with his defending especially in the last 6/7 games.

That's why I'm not a manager!

 He’s working harder in the team than previous and it’s paying off for him personally. 

This is it for me, before he was more than happy to he involved if the ball came to him. Now he's working harder to get involved.

Ah. Thought that may he the case. Oh well, either player could do with a rest.

I think that's how we are rotating, who ever is booked sits out.

Cash, mings, Luiz with mcginn etc to follow.

Am I right in thinking we have 2 players on 4 yellows (SJM and Targett) and that there is an amnesty on Jan 1st?

Meaning if they don't get a yellow in this game, they won't be suspended should they get booked at Old Trafford?

The yellows count until the 19th game. 

100th game tomorrow.

I agree mate. I’m more worried about what side we can actually field. Can Targett and McGinn get through palace game without a yellow. Mings and Jack are 2 yellows away from a suspension too.  Barkley not eligible against Chelsea. 

Them you have fatigue with 3 games in 6 days.  Chelsea and Man U have very strong squads so can deal with it better. 

Hopefully we can beat Palace and take it from there. Tricky week for us.

5 Yellows are rescinded after 19 games. That's a long way away. In a way its forced resting. Can see a few easy yellows the game before the fa cup!

I think he probably suits games where we going to be on top 

This is it for me. Against a more dynamic team going forward, Trezs workrate gets him in over El Ghazi. 

Not saying that's right, but I think that's where we are at. 

I think if trez and el ghazi are both fit against chelsea, Trez will start. 

I dont want competition, would either sign 1st steamers or ones for the future. We have enough Lansburys.

Who do you drop for Barkley?!?

 

Means we dont have to rush him back.

Thought Livermore was a red, didnt think Hauses was. If every tackle that hits a shin pad is a red there wouldnt be anyone left. 

Btw. 3 0 away victory and smith gets a poor.

Grealish should be removed from motm voting, just to be fair to the rest.

Thought really good all round, some of the interchange play was superb. 

Have to feel sorry for ollie.

We need goals

We are looking wasteful in front of goal

Start Keinan!

You sound like the bloke who sits behind me down the villa.

If in doubt "Get Keinan on!"

He'd cost an absolute fortune.  I guess if Arsenal get relegated there'd be a chance!  Would Sessegnon be a similar kind of signing?  I've not heard his name in ages, I'm not sure whether he just is one of those players who didn't turn out as good as everybody thought.  I'd definitely like us to sign a young attacking left back, I like the look of Chrisene but still a few years away probably.

Sessegnon scored today. On loan at a German club.
