Goaaaaaal! Bruno!!!!

Lovely pass first time from Pogba

 

[Shamikebab]

So the new attitude to reffing seems to be just ignore fouls. That's two or three now.

 

[Converge]

Loving the Varane announcement, what a sexy beast.

My thoughts exactly!

Nice to see Bruno getting things going

Nice quick and powerful pass from McSauce as well. Its something we are not good at. Smacking passes quickly and with pace to give the opposition less chance to defend or get numbers back.

No, they're just ignoring dives now.

Shaw continuing the way he left last season, dominant performance so far

Indeed, he’s been very good to watch so far!

 

[adam cool dude]

This is not bad seeing as we are missing Rashford, Sancho, Varane, Cavani and arguably Henderson.

James is pretty much making us a 10 man team.

 

[Calpol]

Does Dan James huff a load of helium before games. I don't think I have ever seen a more lightweight player.

He's really starting to annoy me. It's so obvious that he is well short of whats required at this level. Hopefully Sancho will be on in the second half.
Please sell Dan James and play Elanga or Diallo

Hes just not right for the PL, especially at any side that faces defensive minded teams a lot of the time. He doesn't have a good first touch, relies on pace far too much and has all the strength and presence of an under 15 player. I think in the right team he could be OK but nothing more.

Quite funny watching all the Leeds players ignoring James running at them in favour of marking everyone else. Shows how much they fear him on the ball.

 

[Converge]

It is disappointing he persists with James with all the other options available. Such a poor player.

 

[Robbo]

Are we going to have female co-commentators thrust upon us at every opportunity now? Nothing against them of course, just seems a bit forced in this instance...

Anything’s an improvement on Steve and Robbie to be fair. I’ve not minded her commentary really.

Yes.

Think Ole was saying "Stick James on ebay next time they £1 seller fees" to Carrick after that shot.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Wow

 

[Converge]

Bah, good strike though.

 

[Kenai]

Fantastic from Ayling

 

[el_dazza]

What a hit from Ayling!

 

[Quinnaay]

Just as I was thinking Man utd was looking good so far particularly Pogba and Mctominay great strike from Ayling.

 

[Matty8787]

Decent strike that, good goal.
