Holgate MOTM by a country mile

I really don't like Ashley Young.

 

[john jako]

King was a magnificent player

Could of been a great. Had everything.

 

[Petit]

Just my opinion, but physically the Mancs look so much stronger than us.

I think it´s more to do with the fact that they´re a lot better than us in almost every position.

Badly need players in the middle the calibre of witsel and carvalho

Seamus has been very good as well

 

[blue to the bone]

wind up??

Confirmed

didn't see the first half but based on the first 10 minutes of the second half we're playing fine. That pass from Holgate to Coleman was sublime, Kev should be scoring

First half for Lukaku was similiar to a lot of last season, having to play with his back to goal, because we had no one pushing forward from midfield.

wind up??

It's true

So what was the excuse for the majority of the last two years where he's been the sullen ping-pong shins player we're seeing tonight?

He has no technique, so why we're asking him to "do a Heskey" is absolutely beyond me. It's nothing to do with fitness.

He came a long way last season in that regard, it is definitely a weakness of his game but he has improved.

maybe it's cos he's playing alongside Del/Kev. In that Koeman's asking him to be the target man with the pace of the others to run off him. Nothing wrong with trying it now - in pre-season - is there.

Despite what we all think we know Koeman will be wanting to try out the different combinations etc. no better time than this to do that...

Lad looks a talent and suits the position in a 3

.....you can see why RK wants do much more from his defensive midfielders. Under RM they sat deep and gave the ball to Barkley but now they have responsibility for a much bigger area of the pitch. It's a totally new role.

Coleman has been good as well.

 

[Petit]

Right, I´m going to leave you be. But we look as effed as we did under Martinez and desperately need signings.
