Be more convinced if we get results in the next few games it is however the start we need.

Why is Ten Haag wearing a suit and no socks?!

He's dutch

He's dutch

Ah, I forgot...clogs

Shoutout for Martinez, everyone has been taking the **** out of him but he was very good today. Looks aggressive and good on the ball - as I was expecting.

Gonna go out on a limb and say I think he’s gonna be a proper cracking player. Heart of a lion and skill too. He’ll be a nightmare for attackers, short or tall.

Carra is bang on. We've never looked like we've known how to cope with teams that sit off us, even in our best seasons. Thiago is the only midfielder we've had for years who can pull teams like that apart and he's injured half the time.

 

[Robbo]

Neville saying Liverpool shouldn't be written off - did he himself not do that last season, said they didn't look 'right'... and they came within a point of City.

Thiago is the first midfielder we've had over the years who I thought filled the "alonso" void we've had since Alonso. Trouble is, as you say, the guy is made of paper

That's a big worry as Nevilles takes on Liverpool are almost always wrong.

Just as well we've got Ox and Keita to fill his position when he's out injured.

If only they werent injured all the time too

Keita gets injured blowing his nose. Ox? Blinking and he pulls a hammy.

This is why i didnt agree with Klopp when he listed the midfielders we had at the club...yea we do have quite a few but when they have marshmallows for legs its kinda irrelevant.

Stormzy the Utd fan, from Croydon lol

 

[Robbo]

What's Lukaku doing there

Going to be hated by other fans and loved by yourselves, had a few good moments trying to wind players up, the correct way to be a **** (Unlike Bruno who is objectively not an enjoyable person)

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I wanna hear Keane rap.

That second goal, Hendo is poor, but Trent gives it away and doesn't even drop to halfway. He ends up further forward than he was when he played the pass

 

[Converge]

Woo! Wasn’t able to watch the match and just saw the news!

It's nuts how far up both he and Robertson are without anyone in midfield with the legs to cover them. It's not only nuts, it's tactically inept.

 

[robfosters]

Come on where’s Klopp?

 

[antijoke]

Will be genuinely hilarious when someone else gets him after this and they pay a lot of money for someone who wasn’t the target instead, baffling from the club this summer

By all accounts I expect Madrid to beat us to him. FFS
