Cunha was class.
Mbuemo was a bit chit I though. Always made the wrong decision.

No he wasn't

Hard to legislate for a goalkeeping error like that

You can legislate for it by having better goalkeepers.

I know our goalies aren't great, but you still don't expect an error like that. I doubt even Onana would make such an error

Yeah, I though Mbuemo was bright also. Made good runs etc, just wasn't falling for him in the box. Unlike previously when we didn't really create chances, I watched us today and thought, we were pretty good and just bad luck that we didn't score. I expect us to score a decent amount of goals this year.

But it becomes important that we build on this

Thought you guys were excellent tbh. Won every 50/50 and 2nd ball and moved it really well all over the pitch. You'll need a new keeper though cos not finishing in top 8 with that joker.

Yeah, he was.

Cunha was the positive of the game.

I agree on Dorgu, he looks like an absolute work horse. He gets up and down for fun. Unlucky with his shot too.

What do others see during games? I do wonder.

Mbuemo did next to nothing.
Amad came on and we were immediately better down the right.
Still, he does look tidy so not judging him too much as it was a big occasion so hopefully he'll settle in well.

Mo Farah could be a workhorse too, still crap at football.
He struggles to control a football, genuinely, my ball control is superior to Dorgus and I have to pay to play football.

That’s because he is. The last few comments of his have proved this. Again.

Could also ask the same of you.

I felt our 3 best players on the day were Cunha, Mbuemo and Dorgu.

Mbuemo had some good attacking play and things didn't quite fall for him in the box. Amad also did well when he came on, and the combo of the 2 of them down the right could be very effective indeed.

Did you really think he did next to nothing? I guess agree to disagree.

Guess it depends on what your definition of good attacking play is.
Everything Mbuemo tried in the box failed.

Maybe he was good before the box, but he's a forward in today's setup and as a forward, he did fack all

Well I could say that as we didn't score, they all did fack all then. I feel you are being harsh, but it's all about opinions.

I just think in general we saw a lot more from the team in terms of creating scoring chances and just how we attacked compared to last season, and Mbuemo played his part in that

We did ok today. The 3 areas we looked weak were up top (where we have Sesko to come in), at CM where I’ve been saying all summer we need a better CM and GK where we played our 2nd choice who has always been terrible. Onana might not be the answer but he’s is still head and shoulders above Bayindir. On top of this this group of players should grow and have a better understanding of each other over the coming weeks.

Whether the club have identified any legitimate alternatives to Baleba I have no idea but a better CM would really make the world of difference.

Meh, I've already mentioned that he looks tidy and it was a bit occasion. Likely just needs to settle in.
Cunha was top notch today though.

The issue will always come to money. A legitimate alternative will still cost 40 million plus. I actually prefer Wharton, but he wouldn't be much cheaper than Baleba. Fernandes at Southampton might be a cheaper option, but then you are going more for potential than proven quality.

We may need to accept we have to make do with what we have - it was always seen as needing a few windows to get us where we want to be, we've addressed the attack, we may need to wait for the rest

I think we need to accept we were never going to fix all our problems this window. In fact most of us didn’t expect to bring in and spend as much as we have so we probably need to be thankful that we have done what we’ve done this window.

You could argue that the money could’ve been spent different and not all on offensive players but that’s been done now and nothing we can do.

I’d love it if we could get in a quality CM before the window bit not holding my breath.

Given our lack of goals, and that Rashford, Nacho and Hojlund weren't firing, I can understand why we did what we did transfer-wise, and I was also surprised we got all 3.

Even if no-one else comes in, I think we still have a squad good enough to challenge for top 6, and when does a manager ever say they are entirely happy with their squad?

I can only imagine the reaction if we brought in a top GK and CM, and maybe one other attacking player. It's just needing to accept it's a longer term project but saying we will be patient and showing it are 2 different things for many on here

I think for me the questionable decision has been bringing in offensive players to then move our most effective offensive player into a deeper position where I don’t think he is anywhere near as effective. Time will tell I guess.
