And virtually no one marking a runner

Link from midfield to attack non existent. We are lucky this is still level

Going to need Mount

Think he’s back to his usual self

It's a tactical risk that I am fine with. If all works well, we have a fully rested Mount, Tomori, CHO, Rudiger, and Emerson for West Ham.

Like that back line, but we are going to need Mount at some stage.

Need a disciplined performance. Expecting big performances from our veterans. Dave, Willian, and Zouma.

We are genuinely set for years. In an area where a few years ago we were crying for quality.

It is time for Reece James

Aye, they fluked their way to a CL title whilst only losing one game last season that had them lose the league on bloody 97 points. And now they are fluking their way this season by being 9 points clear of City. Couldn't possibly be they are the best team on the planet. Honestly, this 'conspiracy' and 'match fixing/season is rigged' talk makes me feel bloody embarrassed coming on to this forum at times. Always from the same members.

I have, and I repeat, for 70+ million (rumored to be triple digits now) I don't value him as an upgrade over Emerson. Chilwell performed well against Montenegro. Emerson was the bollocks against Greece just a few months ago and before his injury, now people's perception of him has changed after one game. Give me Grimaldo. Who is reported to only be 35-40 million

Mike Dean everyone. Mike Dean.

Mount needs to play and it was evident after the City game. There needs to be a link from midfield - attack.

Should be our #1 target if you ask me. He would be mint in our fast build up.

What left backs out there are currently an upgrade over Emerson? Chillwell stats wise isn't even that much of an upgrade when you consider how much he will cost.

7 points ahead of United 8 points ahead of Arsenal 9 points ahead of Spurs. We really need to beat Spurs and Arsenal. Make somewhat of a statement.

Hopefully this holds. Only Spurs and Arsenal gaining points on us, yet still both very far

Kepa James---Zouma---Tomori---Dave Jorginho Kante-----Mount Willian---------------Pulisic Tammy

I appreciate him trying to always make things happen, but sometimes he needs to be more disciplined. Especially when we are in control, and we very much were after we scored. That pass was suicidal and led to City countering us.

That was a Morata esq display.

Kova made KDB look like a mug at times to be honest. I rate Kova highly but both he and Jorginho need to be more disciplined. They seem to become complacent with their passing, which in turn results in us being countered. A lot of our issues is our mentality.

Tomori is going to be 22 in December and took the step up from the Championship to the Premier League. I'm still adament when I say our defensive issues have little to do with either Zouma or Tomori. We concede because of either complacency or set pieces, to which the latter is a coaching aspect. This is the first defeat where I am honestly fine, especially if United drop points. I see loads of promise.

Still a lot of promising signs, however we continue to lose the ball where we shouldn't.

We need a top ST. Fucking hell
