Strike

He was but until this year, Jorgi had an excellent record

Good buildup before the pen. What a waste

Ah Jorginho. Usually so reliable

Finally. He's no longer fitting Mount into every lineup!

Re: Ziyech. Think cameos don't mean much . Needs to play the Krasnodar game to see him and his passing game

Yes, would love to see Kante used for certain games rather than being a permanent starter

Cech is the backup!

Proper scouting job by Lollichon and looks a smart pick-up in today's GK market. Everyone praising that save at the end but the save from Rashford earlier in the first half was also equally good. He was out of his line and cutting out the angle

The hope is he learns on the job

This season will take a while to settle down. Everton, Villa bubble burst today. I think Leeds can go on a run before fading like Bielsa's teams usually do

Yep, same pragmatism seen vs Liverpool/Sevilla and United now. Many teams go into this Sevilla and United level bracket. Does it mean we are pragmatic in any game against a similar level of opponent? Crazy if this goes on really.

He has passed the eye test. Apart from the mistake vs West Brom, he has been quietly snuffing out danger and makes Christensen/Zouma/Rudi look like a level below. Time for him to play in a less protected defense now

Many who aren't calling for a sack are also questioning what is with the team's performances/approach. This extremely cautious defense-first approach should be left alone for the rest of the season. It cannot go on even if it helps us to a few more results because our star attackers will soon begin to wonder whether they are in the right club for their development

James has done enough to be first choice over Azpi for a stretch of games imo. Azpi should be rotated to keep both fresh but I think James is the better option now that we have a more secure keeper to claim crosses as well.

Yep. Even yesterday's supposedly good defensive display needed some crucial saves from Mendy to keep a clean sheet With this approach, the defenders need to have perfect games to win any points. Hope this is a temporary direction change

Corners and cameos are nothing to go by. Ziyech is ready to start and we should take the punt

Mendy MOTM Lampard got it wrong. Too much respect to an average United.

I agree. Too much respect for this United side which has Mata and James. Lampard should be adding a midfielder and going to a back four surely

Lampard has played it really safe and still we are conceding the odd chance. Hopefully the second half is better

Reece in midfield?

A winger's main work should be in the attacking end and not in stopping the opposition.

I am hoping Lampard surprises everyone and gives CHO a start here over Mount. I would love it if Pulisic plays in his preferred left wing position and CHO is on the right - proper width - with Havertz and Werner down the middle. None of the defensive overthinking we saw against Liverpool please

Happy for Bamford. No one gave him a chance of scoring these many over the season. He clearly works as the forward for that Leeds side and is keeping Rodrigo out of the main forward role. Fair play!

Feel that the league will settle by November-December with same top 2 and a biggish chasing pack

Yep. Any other manager and the fans would be all over the team's issues which are mostly down to coaching, training.
