Davies is a defensive left back. He's never put a foot wrong. He could be great under Mourinho.

Really? Don’t get me wrong, he’s OK, but clearly limited and seriously lacking in pace. I didn’t mind him as our second best left back, but we could and should look to improve where we can.

One of the reasons Dele looked better today is that when he picked up the ball in their half he had Son and Lucas sprinting beyond him and the Spam defenders, that gave him options to play the ball quicker. Too often in the past year or more he has remained static having received the ball, and that is becuase of a lack of movement ahead of him.

The media seem to think it’s OK to really dig Dele out in his interviews, it’s really odd.

Even today rather then just give him credit for a good performance they try give Mourinho all the credit I feel.

He's a lovely lad you can see he is hurt by it but he never reacts and always gives polite answers.

I really do like him.

Need to find a new target for their racist reader demographic now that Sterling's called them out.

That one with Levy and Lewis must've cost hundreds of pounds, I mean just by reading this site you soon learn that some fans aren't quite the full ticket, but it's just unbelievably brainless.

There is still a lot of work to be done. We definitely lost control of the game in the last 20 mins and were bullied. José clearly unhappy with that. That drop off of attitude and commitment will be the biggest thing he'll be working on.

Going forward shouldn't be as big an issue. With Dele in the free role, we immediately regained our attacking mojo. A joy to watch.

Far too much hoofball for me though. Contrary to most, I like playing out from the back, and I like a possession game. But I also like full backs who stay back, and a proper defensive midfielder protecting the back 4 and enabling the pivot.

So pros and cons. Lots of evolution to come.

Had we kept Poch then sure I get it. But, after spending money on a world class trophy winning coach? Makes zero sense. Levy goes out and gets us one of the all time top coaches and still gets slack. He can't win with some of our lot.

I forgot that this will be the first time in months I will be watching MOTD
Do they have a new studio, do they have new people, have they changed anything? I genuinely don’t know

They probably had to pay Enic a few quid to license the font, the dickhammers
