Maybe McTominay and Fred were crucial...

Mount is a bit shit really.  Maddison is a vastly superior player.

It's hard for me to even say he's stagnated, as in 2021 he was a very good chance creator. He's honestly regressed.

Maddison had his creativity and goal scoring that he's only gone on and enhanced. Mount really has nothing that stands out about him and anything he can really enhance on.

Good start to the season for Ange, I’m happy for him. 

[Inverted]

Feel like Ten Hag has been a bit of a mirage. 

A full year in and a borderline infinite transfer budget and they're still, stylistically, a nothing team. Outstanding individuals obviously but collectively I don't see what he's done.

[Fusion]

Hopefully Rasmus is prime Ibrahimovic+Ronaldo in 1 otherwise we are fucked again this season.

Some of the players are a mirage. Antony & Sancho are supposed to be star players. Both are mediocre.

He's got an elite ball-playing GK, two world cup-winning CBs, and a holding mid whos won god knows how many Champions Leagues.

 

[N U F C]

I thought Spurs were pretty good after the first 20 minutes but not sure how much of that was down to Man United being very passive.

Maddison looked great.

[Reluctant Striker]

Mason Mount, For England or Chelsea, would have been 1 of the 3 behind the striker. It seems he's playing deeper for Man United.

It feels like an ongoing theme at Man United. Where the shopping list says breakfast cereal. Someone, somewhere decides milk will therefore be needed. And at the end of it all there is a shopping bag of milk, apples, potato & pasta. Nobody starves. But the next shopping list still says breakfast cereal.

Wow, nice dribble by Kovacic, nearly got Haaland in

[Stan]

Gordon lucky he didn't catch Dias more on the calf there.

Should be a red. The intent is all the same and he was nowhere near the ball. Dirty fucker 

[Happy Blue]

1-0 Alvarez

[Stan]

What a finish from Alvarez. Pope went a bit half hearted. 

[Rick]

Rodri blatantly pulling Joelinton by the shirt there, right in front of the ref, and no card. Cunt does whatever he pleases. 
 

And right afterwards Tonali gets a yellow for a nudge on Foden. You can’t make it up. This referee is dreadful anyways, and he has a cunt face to make it worse.

Almost 2-0 from Haaland 

[Danny]

 

[Stan]

Gordon lucky x2

[Happy Blue]

Foden's running the game in De Bruynes position, just wide from Haaland again  ..Haaland shoots again, saved

[Happy Blue]

Jesus!! Rodrigo with a sloppy back pass, Gvardiol saved us 3 on 1 

[Happy Blue]

OOOoooooohhh close from Foden

[Stan]

Foden was absolutely everywhere today. Class player. 

[Happy Blue]

Any points are a bonus at this stage, along way from our best and Newcastle's best chance to beat us
