Arsenal are really tight at the moment, sneaky as f*** , sly and good at set pieces. Not a bad way to start the league and I'm sure they will become more expansive in a few more weeks as they get confidence

How is that a free kick to Arsenal, Martinelli cleans the defender out and then off course they score from the kick.

It's been a weird start to the season and the stats do lie. In hindsight, despite not being that great we should have buried UTD with the chances we had. Some of the play was lovely but loads of it was the wrong choice, shooting when a pass was on, passing when a shot was on, the dummy by about 3 players in the box last minute encapsulated that. I'm not worried about the new players at all, every RB we have is being left stranded and will therefore look poor as they have the entire right hand side to defend. Salah needs dropped and I'd put Dom there and play a proper RB. On the left we either need to allow Kerkez to run forwards or play Robertson, I've no idea why we bought the lad to hobble him. Anyhow we are still a good side who may or may not turn into a brilliant side, but we aren't helping ourselves with the passive passing around, wrong players picked and no one knowing what to do next.

So for the next game A) someone tackle the man with the ball B) start someone in Salah's position C) start a fit person beside Gravenberch D) either drop Kerkez or let him go forward E) start Ekitike, start Wirtz, F) give them all a slap on the chops before the game

Our left back seems to run forward, then squares the ball to Virgil most of the time. Our left forward ,takes a touch and comes inside onto his right 90% of the time, yet the left hand side looked better than what ever was on the other side. We can't keep playing with 10 men or less, every game ,so far at least one of our players has been rubbish every game, not just average but dung. Most of those have been Salah and Konate. Unfortunately we don't really have an alternative to Konate who today was better than VVD, who was in passive mode. There is no way Salah can start mid week after these performances. Start Dom there, start Frimpong there, FFS start Chiesa there, anyone, a body who will contribute. Every single week the RB gets rinsed by 2 players on him and at the other end we get nothing either! He'll be back, but at present he's a liability. Dom, Ekitike and Gravenberch are the only players so far who haven't been terrible in at least one game. It doesn't help that every week we've some new complicated way of playing or not as the case often is. Be interesting to see how.many second balls we won today, live it looked like they won most of them. Drop Salah, play people in their positions, play from the start and stop being so easy to play against

3 players dummied the same f***ing pass, in their box. How and why no one on our right hand side ever gets a free kick is mental

I surrender. Weak as piss again, and again, and again.

Salah you f***ing plank, rinse, repeat and the wrong ball again. Next game , try someone else out on the right ,I don't care who, at least we'll have a body there. Big bad Dom on the right of a 3, Ekitike out left, Wirtz through the middle and Isak up top.

One of Santa's elves gave it away last xmas

I'm not sure what the boss is thinking here, the same lads have failed to perform again,but somehow get started , Macca and inevitably staying on, Salah. 2 great players who are obviously not on it at the moment, fair enough, but FFS pick someone else. The next time we win the league we should all ignore the following season, we find a reverse gear somehow

The two lads either side of the front 3 need to be faster and vary their play. Both take a touch and then come inside, at some point they need to go around the defender .

Another poor effort by Virgil there. We no longer seem able to press or deal with it when teams press us

This is the worst UTD team in decades and somehow we make them look like 1970 Brazil. I've watched UTD games where they've failed to have a shot for 70 min, here , they should be 2 up. It would be nice to win the odd 2nd ball. Oh close Isak

He looks petrified out there, weird for a senior international to be so skittish, but there we are

It would be nice to see an awake VVD today. Within 90 secs he has injured his own player and then switched off allowing them through
