I was quite encouraged by today. 16:51 - Aug 19 with 5363 viewsexiledclaseboy

Yeah the result doesn't look good but for 75 minutes we competed well and after last week that was encouraging. The formation worked while we kept it but things fell apart when Clement made the subs. But he had to try something as we were chasing the game. I'd like to see Llorente up top with Abrahams doing what Ayew absolutely failed to do today. The obvious main worry is where the goals are coming from. It wasn't a 4/0 game today.

I was a lot more concerned leaving St Mary's last week than I was leaving the Liberty today.

Whilst we looked better in patches than last week, we lost 4-0 and had 1 shot on target. We've beaten ManU in 3 of our last 6 matches. Have our expectations fallen so low, we're satisfied after being outclassed and losing 4-0 at home. Each to their own I suppose if it makes you feel better.

I said I was encouraged, not satisfied. No one is going to be satisfied after losing, 4-0 or otherwise.

A solid performance until the goals went in, but there's not a lot of quality

It's a figure of speech, a comment on how the game panned out for the most part until United scored three in four minutes. It's not meant as a literal statement of fact. Obviously.

Their first goal came at a bad time and it was a bit of luck.

Pogba could've walked 50mins before they scored their second.

We gave up at 2-0 sadly and don't think the change of shape helped with that.

Quite encouraged after a 4-0 home defeat and to a side we always compete with and quite often beat? It's ridiculous to think we're doomed after 2 games, I fully understand but still feel it.

We were majestic at times, very well organised, Bartley was excellent, Mesa too.
Against weaker sides we will get results.
But we need two more attacking players in.

I feel the same. We played them far better than WHU did and only a tactical error by Clem let them run riot.
We have the basis of a decent team but we need to strengthen our threadbare squad. 4 or 5 players I would say now we have layed so many off.
Trouble is for me is that Jenkins is in charge of this and I have no faith in him whatsoever. Whilst encouraged by the performance the alarm bells are ringing neverthelessfor me.

I don't see us having a season anything like as bad as the last one even if we don't sign any more players, but there's no doubt that three quality additions would make a comfortable mid table finish far more likely.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Bartley surprised me he played quite well and I thought Fernandes played really well and was our pick Mesa improved after a slow start but I think he lacked options further up so all too often had to move it sideways, we really do lack a playmaker and someone who can play off Tammy. Naughton looked a lot happier in that system but lack of quality off the bench was our undoing and a back tactical choice from the manager. There is no doubt we need fresh blood lets see if the board can deliver.

I do, nowhere near enough goals in the current side. Our performances haven't been bad, but when you're in a rout it is difficult to get out of in this league.

Bit of a curate's egg for me.

Mesa did quite well until he ran out of steam a bit, FF and Naughton did well on our right, Bartley was surprisingly impressive, Mawson was the weakest of our centre backs i thought - he made a few silly mistakes, although his distribution is generally good.

For me the weakest links were Fer and Carroll. Need a strong, powerful midefield in that formation, and there were a few times where they just got brushed off the ball and they lost too many 50:50 challenges. Upfront Ayew is a willing runner, but little end product today, and Tammy looked like he needs quite a few 20 minute cameos for a while rather than a starting position, for all I think he's hugely talented.

Off the bench though - dear me. Narsingh is another of our wunderkind wingers isn't he - all fur coat and no knickers, whereas Routs today had neither his coat nor his knickers as far as I could see. McBurnie - out of his depth, by a mile.

Liked the formation - both Olsson and Naughton suit the wing back role and it circumvents our less than talented wide players. Hoping we shift out Montero and possibly Dyer to create more room in wage bill.

I think we need 1 x centre midfield (Ki also to come back) if we are going to play 3 at the back, 1 x forward (McBurnie to go on loan), 1 x creative / wide midfielder. Ideally we also need another right back, but just can't see that many players coming in.

Very concerning we've played around 190 minutes of football and barely got out of our own half, let alone look like scoring.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
