Running at 4 defenders from a standstill is 10x harder than running into space or at defenders at pace. The quick one touch passing released Shaw to drive at Newcastles midfield and defence. Up until then we have been lazily stroking the ball around with no purpose and then hoping someone will break through 10 Newcastle players. Ronaldos first was only as a result of a lucky deflection gifting him a tap in. Without the deflection the shot would have been an easy save for the keeper.

We've generally been exactly the same as we were last season. Poor on the ball. Reliant on individual moments rather than team coherence and movement.

Am tending to agree. I don't think Pogba has the energy for that position. He's much better suited to Italian or Spanish football. Matic was ok in the 1st half but he's knackered now and his one footedness is so annoying to me. Too much strolling and not enough movement. Greenwood is developing well but on the right side he is going to be slightly neutered playing with wan Bissaka. Our cross ing needs to be better, our overlapping play needs to be better against low block. we've now brought Lingard on who should have been sold. Ronaldo aside this hasn't been that encouraging.
 
That was a lovely little passage of play and a cracking finish.

Ronaldo might have scored 2 but what he'll remember about this game was getting the chance to watch JLingz in full flow.
