    Think the pitch is sloping. That's why we keep passing to United players! <laugh>

    Richarlison and Son are isolated and not on the same wavelength. Not surprising I suppose.

    How did Fernandes miss that?
    14th shot for Utd - without really looking like scoring yet

    We got better as the half went on, both teams could have scored, we are far too open, but its not been a bad watch.

    As for the handball was certainly debatable but perfectly in keeping with other decisions given so far this season, we ask for consistency and that is certainly consistent with the one not given at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

    Might as well be playing with 10 for the amount we have got Richarlison involved, but Bissouma and Sarr have been good .....so far.

    Mixed half. Richarlison doing nothing to prove the doubters wrong but at least Son actually took someone on!

    Holly crap!

    We’re very fortunate that Romero’s handball wasn’t a penalty.

    Porro is awful but a great shot hitting the crossbar - unlucky.

    Son is useless.

    Too much passing back to GK.

    It’s like watching Conte-ball all over again.

    Ange will give them a kick up the back side during half time.

    Still, it’s a work in progress and we weren’t expecting a miraculous turnaround.

    We are still in the game. They have 3 yellow cards so there’s still hope for a red!

    I like the way we are trying to play - except the pissing about at the back - but just feel we are trying to run before we can walk. Players are just not up to speed together yet.
    If we can get through the next few games picking up some points, then I think we will start enjoying ourselves.

    Hard to pick a best player at the moment though so why not him!
