It was only one game against Liverpool and tough to judge Arsenal when they haven't even played Liverpool!

We may have been picking up results but think you might have over estimated our level this season.

Newcastle went 2-0 up too early.

Oh dear...

You can be 33 and still improve. The point here isn't about improvement but about fulfilling his potential. If 22/23 isn't the age to start fulfilling the potential, then when is he ever gonna start doing that? Guess we've handled their development differently but look at Mount. He's only 19 but has started to make a real impact in his career. Can't say the same about Loftus-Cheek, can we? FWIW, I'd put Mount ahead of Loftus-Cheek and Barkley.

Pardon me if I'm being harsh but Loftus-Cheek will turn 23 years old in 3 months and we're still talking about "potential" with him?

He does always seem to have the same body language as Ozil.

Meh. Thought he was average last night. Made 2-3 decent attacking runs and nothing much else. And even with those attacking runs, he looked clueless on what to do with the final ball.

Speaking about character, I would question whether Kepa is strong enough to command the players when needed in matches. It's still early days for him with the team and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now but he had that mix-up moment with Christensen in the first half against Videoton and there was barely any reaction from him (or Christensen). Not saying he (or both) should have started shouting like a mad man but there didn't seem to be any communication to make sure things like that do not happen again.

He scored that good goal against Arsenal and look what has happened since...nothing! Let's face it, he's crap and there's more chance of United getting relegated than Morata going on a goalscoring run!

Starting to be called upon more in matches of late (which probably isn't a good things) but at the same time, he's starting to show what he's capable of. Two good saves to prevent an embarrassing result against Videoton!

Job done. Maximum points from two games. Top of the group. But the result aside, that was a nonsense performance - one that we have seen far too many times! Dominated the possession, created a number of decent chances but can't finish them to save ourselves. Was embarrassing that Hazard had to be called upon from the bench and Kepa being asked to make more saves than he should have.

On the other hand, had Courtois still been our keeper, he would have probably tripped Salah and gotten a red card in that Rudiger off-the-line clearance incident (Courtois always has a random knack of making a rash decision and getting sent off). OR remember that near post by Kepa at West Ham? Courtois would have easily conceded that!

A mistake is a mistake. Azpi has always done well for us and yet, I still see you criticize him in his thread.

Yeah...and why haven't you gone to Kante's thread and rant about why he didn't close Sturridge down?

Funny you're only saying this about a few players when the whole team did a shitty job at keeping possession for the entire game!

Right...because no one else has ever lost the ball in those positions. Not even Kante, Kovacic or Jorginho!

I don't disagree with that but we all know it only takes a few dodgy results for things to (possibly) go wrong and for the vultures to start circling.
