    Shaw looking very Dean Ambrose like with the fringe he is out to play in this the Garner guy is exceptional so far future is bright with players like that looming. Pereira bloody good so far he's excellent at chasing loose balls or tracking down missed passes.

    Playing alongside somebody like Herrera can only help him. Constantly giving instructions/feedback.

    I know we haven't scored but ain't it so nice to see two players out on the right wing I seen chong waiting on darmian to overlap him It was a breath of fresh air just to have someone there even if it didn't carve open any defences.

    He's just not a great striker. His biggest strength is getting the ball to his feet and running at defenses, and he doesn't get the space or positioning to do that as a striker.

    Poor Martial He's in the way sadly Sanchez isn't quite clicking with Pereira too unfortunately so very stray passes if they can synch could be a great partnership

    Almost a cracking pass from pereira. Likes that drilled pass wide.

    Yep that’s why he always looks better from out wide, I don’t understand when people give out about him not getting a chance up top

    Birds falling out of the sky, must be boiling over there. Either that or it was waiting for Ashley Young to show up and died of constipation.

    Goalkeeper Pereira positioning and feet are great, moves with ease

    That Valencia out? Bruised toe hopefully keep him out for the season.

    Should have left him on. The bruised toe might have helped him cross a ball over the first defender for once!

    That ball from Sanchez was a peach.

    Chong has talent but very inexperienced.

    Shaw is like an end of days Evra, getting caught miles up the pitch

    Needs to add a bit of muscle, other than that seems to be an exciting talent

    If Andreas starts the season like he has pre-season he could really be giving a challenge to Fred to get in.


    Alas without Lukaku we pose very little threat :/

    Poor half from a football perspective - not one chance from open play vs a poor mls side. No threat.

    I'm surprised Jose hasn't seen the need to bring in some backup.

    We havent even managed a starting LB or starting RW let alone go looking for back ups.
