So far I've thought that Bradford, considering the hype, Southend and Rochdale were pretty poor. But I wonder how much it's a case of us doing a real job on them, and them being better than being given credit for? To be fair Southend looked pretty shit, but you could see that Rochdale had some...

There's nothing more pleasing than your team keeping a clean-sheet. We also play some very nice football that's pleasing on the eye but have yet to find a real cutting edge. It's very early days yet obviously but we have a real solidarity in the side and a manager who, despite his lack of...

The jury is still very much out on some of our signings like Mac-Intosch, Amoros, Mbamba and Cicilia. But I think Knops, Tavares and Forrester are very much proving to be an upgrade over Dickinson/McGivern, O'Connor and Leitch-Smith. De Freitas has something about him too but he will find it...

Absolute nonsense. You must be a Stoke fan on a wind up.

You have some promising players in midfield from what I saw this evening in-particular. But when I saw Andrews was up front for you, well, lets just say it gives you a bit of a lift. He really was dog shit for us.

Having Calvin Andrew nowhere near the starting 11 would help. The guy wouldn't be good enough to get in the Renford Rejects side.

He's a good young player, don't get me wrong, but he still has lots to learn. I do think Rashford has a more all round game than Martial and is the better player of the two. Just my opinion of course.

Rochdale are toss on that showing and we made harder work of it than we should have done. 1st half was scrappy with nothing in it, 2nd half we could and should have scored 3. We have a really good spine in Alnwick, Streete, Smith, Grant, Tavares, Foley and Forrester, much better than last...

It's more to do with the fact that he just doesn't have any sort of commanding presence. I've given him credit in the past when others haven't and he has had some really good games for us, but he's no Pepe Reina.

Either you're related to Moreno or you're just trolling? Moreno was absolute dog shit first half, even if you forget about the penalty he gave away for a moment. Mingolet wasn't half as bad but still looked dodgy throughout. Moreno's biggest problem along with having little game intelligence...

I thought United were much more solid than spectacular but they did what they needed to do. Ibrahimovic had a good debut and deserved his goal. I still think Martial is over-rated (or at least over-hyped) and that Rashford is a better overall player.

Carragher was a proper defender that enjoyed defending. Moreno is a winger parading as a left-back who hates defending. I've never seen a player be as rash as he is, and continue to makes schoolboy mistakes time after time after time. Carra has more than a right to rip him to bits, as does...

Which is absolute nonsense of course.

What a game! For 20 minutes we were unbelievable, and better back lines than what Arsenal could put out today wouldn't have coped. We then completely switched off mentally and let Arsenal back in the game, though you also must give them some credit for not completely caving in. Mignolet 6 -...

Yes. Very. :bg: They won't win the league while Wenger remains.

Do Arsenal fans even rate Giroud highly?!

True in a sense, but counter attacking isn't just about pace and wide players, though the former certainly helps. We do need a quick winger to replace Andoh as Mbamba is too raw at the moment and needs to adapt to our game.

Why? I think we'll be well suited to soaking up pressure, as we did at Bradford, and hitting teams on the break through the likes of Foley, Hooper and Forrester.

Wingers are exactly what we need, at least one quality wide man. With that I really do think we're looking in good shape, as our foreign players in theory should only get better the more they adapt. Overall though I think Knops, Tavares and De Frietas have done very well, while Cecilia does have...

Sounded like a solid if unspectacular performance overall against a poor Southend side that should be doing better than what they have been going from the back end of last season. I think our midfield foursome of Grant, Foley, Tavares and De Frietas is as strong as most in the league, and with...
