    Davies absolutely robbed there, can’t be doing that. I hope he’s not our best CB <laugh>

    We need to lift the intensity massively, one or two nice moments but it’s not crisp enough. Move the ball faster and it’ll come for us.

    It’s been a really arrogant performance so far. The kind of we will just turn up and win it. Hopefully this will snap us into gear

    We’re messing about like we’re 3-0 up not 1-0 down. Jose needs to get them fired up if this doesn’t improve by half time.

    Highlights the big problem that our squad has, in my opinion.
    No Hojbjerg and we've got nobody to replace him. The midfield isn't working.

    Bale and Vinicius starved of service but neither doing enough when they do get the ball.
    Bergwijn taking shots from anywhere which comes across as a bit desperate.

    Pretty much the same **** as the Burnley game, this time we’ve been punished though.

    It annoys me when the commentators go on about the 8 changes and that’s why it’s not very good. They do train with each other pretty much every day! Surely they play this team as well together?! Antwerp have been by far the better team as they want it so much more it’s as simple as that. We have been bloody awful there’s not much more to say

    1-0 HT. Awful performance.
    The team selection didn't make much sense and it showed.
    The players looked lost for big periods of that half.
    Mourinho needs to sort this out at the break. He's got a lot to work on.

    Triple sub needed for me, Hojbjerg, Kane and Son or Clarke on for Crabby, Dele and Bergwijn or Bale.

    Even if you disagree with the team selection, they still should have enough to beat Antwerp. It’s embarrassing so far

    You would expect to get your ass kicked when you put Winks and Davies on the pitch
    at the same time. WTF.

    Think Bale, Dele, Bergwijn and Vinicius are not getting enough service but not doing enough when they get it.
    Lo Celso doesn't look match fit (same with Bale, Vinicius and Dele tbh).

    Not a great half by any means but with 4 players lacking match sharpness it is hardly surprising

    That frankly was shocking, carrying on from Burnley to be honest, no cutting edge whatsoever. Awful goal but although Davies shouldn't ever lose the ball, the lack of any discernible movement ahead of him was the underlying cause.

    Big HT team talk for Jose and maybe some changes, Bale still looks unfit and Dele trying too hard but anyone could really be subbed as no one has played well.

    what’s wrong with the selection?

    I think there’s enough quality on the pitch to show more zest

    Is it a Portuguese thing? LAdPCeV-B constantly played wingers on the opposite flank, which mainly resulted in wingers constantly having to take an extra touch due to receiving the ball on their weaker foot
