He had good moments against West Ham but that has been it. I don't understand why he gets a pass from fans. I really think he's half the player he used to be before injuries. We need to start benching him.

This is why I find it frustrating when used as an excuse to not sign another forward as they won’t get any game time (or players / agents even speculating this themselves).

He should not be undroppable and maybe he needs some competition to kick him up the arse a bit really.

If we play a midweek game and he’s rested and said player comes in and plays well / scores then it should tell him he needs to up it a bit.

Happy with the result.

Lucas' effort stands out for me. Other than that not really convincing again. Newcastle could have had 2 quite easily.

Hope we turn up in 2nd half and do not try to just ride our luck.

Anyone who thinks Mourinho will make us a very good team again is seriously deluding themselves. This is how we will play pretty much every game and we won’t be close to winning CL or the league or maybe even a cup

He’s so outdated

Absolutely nothing wrong with how we played that half. Created a few dangerous chances, scored 1, and basically didn't look that troubled at the back aside from their one chance. That's exactly how to play away games.

Add a few more quality players to the team and it would be more emphatic

Ah, you’re angry that we’re winning.

Imagine my shock.

I feel like the midfield three are completely unsure of how to interact. Sissoko drives forward into space so Moura and Son can drop in, but when he receives the ball in the middle it's a game of hot potato, he'll even offload it to a Newcastle player. Winks used to receive the ball off of the back two and have the bollocks to turn and go, now he just passes it straight to a CB and puts them under pressure. GLC is floating in and out of the game, doing a bit of both. He's battling away but not getting anywhere.

I feel for Kane as he's really not getting much joy at all. Moura is working his arse off but has lacked quality when going forward. Son aside from the goal and that 20 yarder has been quiet.

“Outdated”? You mean he should move with the times and start winning fck all?

Is it about quality or tactics? i think that is the question haha

Really poor, I could see the game plan vs Arsenal and could excuse the lack of control of the game.

I can't see the game plan here - really disappointing despite us winning.

At the point in the season now where I just want to see some hints of decent football

Impressed with Son and Lucas who are both being really direct.

Can’t wait to replace Davies and Sissoko! Squad players at best.
