AP looked like a sub material, cannot justify to let him played the full 90mins.

But the amazing thing is that after any victory, suddenly we have identified whom to replace whom and when Woody hears this, off course he'll not want to go to the transfer market since we have ready-made replacements!!!!!

We have started 5matches.
So far what are the areas for improvement?
I feel that we still need a attacking midfielder and a winger.
Good to add in one who is good at taking freekick as well.

Definitely a playmaker to help make final third count plus one more player to complement Bisaka.

In the meanwhile, hope one or two youngsters can rise up to the occasion when given the chance.

Btw anyone, saw the Barca vs Valencia game. Looked like Barca might have found another gem in 16 years old, Ansu Fati. He is very calm on the ball.

Watford is playing beautiful football now coming from 0-2 down at home to arsenal to draw level...they don’t deserve to be bottom of the table

Yes with their determined 2nd half, they should have beaten Arsenal but had to settle for a draw. And what do we know.....we are 4th in the table now!!!!

Yes we move up to 4th and i was cheering Watford on for the comeback

When we scored early, I thought the flood gate will open.
I bought Spools 4-0

Matic in the team is trouble, especially with a fast opponent midfield.
Matic will be good for the Euro games.

Breakdown of the performance of the team IMO

DDG - got into some very fantastic saves, especially the one which Lindeloft gave away early in the half

Bissaka - getting to love this RB, fast, strong and gets in tackles

Lindeloft - Beside the one mistake that nearly gave away the goal, proven to be a good partner for Maguire

Maguire - a few mistakes, but he and his partner contained Vardy

Young - Nothing exceptional, I noticed he always get himself into trouble at the left back and afew times, was cornered and have no choice but to use his left leg to clear the ball

SM - Not exceptional except that he gets into tackles with James Maddison and ensure Maddison did not do any damage. His through ball never gets to the target at all.

AP - tried too hard, probably needs to get back to the basics and just play simple

Matic - just take him away from the 1st team. Too slow

DJ - Again no end product, I rather he dribble into the box more often to let the opponent hack him down. When he gets away and runs, he found out nobody have his speed and he always have no outlet after trying to outrun everybody in the opposite half

Mata - nice moves and one-twos. Should play him just behind the No.9

Rashford - apart from the penalty, no contribution from him

What do you think?

Spot on mostly.
Young still have embedded memories with Jose. Loves to hold on to ball and wait for opposition. He forgets he is no longer a fast pace player he once was. The bad habit of back passing or square passing still very much his style of play. Yes we must give him full credit for trying to match the younger crop of players and yes he normally tries very hard for the team.
And without a shadow of doubt Matic is no longer an asset to the team

[moscowblue]

also, I think we should raid Leicester again for Maddison.
Pure runner and talent
At least he gets my heart pumping with his runs.
Unlucky not to score due to DDG right leg save.

The ball could have gone into the net, but lucky it went out

[lenghan]

Rashford is certainly not performing to his expected high level for quite a while already. There has been talks that he is becoming like a second Theo Walcott
