Its not perfect but the pleasing thing for me is that you can see how the formation and style of play works and how it can cause a lot of problems for the opposition. You can also see the weaknesses in high line defence. Think we will just get better with time and games.

I'd rather watch this football than the stuff we were playing under the 'C' bloke quite honestly. At least it's both exciting and terrifying in equal amounts
Look, it doesn't have to be Scarlett, just whoever our next best available striker is.
It's stupid to not have a single striker on the bench. We already know Richarlison isn't working and hasn't been working for 12 months now. Not to mention, we trained the entire pre-season with a completely different type of striker.
It doesn't matter whether it's Parrott, Scarlett, or even one of the younger guys like Jamie Donley. We should have at least one other striking option.

Current system doesn't suit Son. He was and would be most prolific in a system where the ST drops deep and he runs beyond. In this set up he's playing more as a wide man and that's never been his strength.

Funnily enough, my recent work report was, 'He's quite ok', I was buzzing.

Oh Keane just comes from that Utd era where everyone feared them. He thinks it's a lack of respect if a team plays against Utd without quaking in their boots. We're on occasions strolling about and playing out from the goal line - we're not showing Utd enough respect for him.

Steady on, I think we are a way off, it’s going to take more than a gem or two. Don’t hold your breath on Levy.
I'd like to see Solomon on for Deki tbh.

Get a good forward in, not a work in progress or a kid. A good forward who bullies defenders. Do that and we might scrape top six in what’s going to be a transitional season.
Leave ourselves short and it’ll be top ten at best.

We’ve not been at it yet.
Should probably be about 2-1 to them. Rashford and Bruno should’ve both scored but we’ve hit bar and post.
We look like a team finding our feet vs a team who’ve had the same coach and plan for a while.
If same after 60mins I’d like to see Lo Celso for Sarr and Solomon for Kulu.

Maybe, but Richarlison hasn’t caused them a single problem yet, so why not give it a try? It’s not like it’s an alien position for Son.

Some good stuff, some concerning bits. VDV looks uncomfortable on the ball and his choice, timing and weight of the pass has been a bit suspect. Bissouma, Romero and Maddison good. Udogie and Porro have had good moments. Two pacey goal threat wingers and another CB I think is needed in the next two weeks

I think for the next month or two we need to remember what Ange said pre match. Really this is as much about him assessing his players, seeing what works + what doesn’t and what needs to be worked on, as it is about winning. Obviously we want to win and play well but I’m not expecting any half time subs more major early changes for a while. He’s testing them. Obviously he will still balance things and if something really isn’t working I’m sure he will change things but for now I’m expecting more tweaks then anything.
If we can build on the last 10 mins we should be in for a good second half and hopefully Gio + Solomon get a good amount of mins.

He's far from hopeless. He needs.more service for a.start. doesn't help having Kulu and Son not finding their feet yet.
What would Any striker do with no service? Drop back to lick up the ball?
I think it just needs more time to click. Already looks better than Vs Brentford.

I only say Kulu left because he would actually be taking a man on rather than cutting in on his left every single time. It becomes predictable.
