    West Ham looking the better team so far.

    Edit: and deservedly lead.

    West Ham are playing United off the park, it's almost sad. Almost.

    When are they gonna stop the kneeing?

    When police forces cease to use excessive and disproportionate force against minorities.

    Which I think is supposed to happen Monday week.

    Think he would’ve been deemed offside by VAR.

    McTominay is just another Phil Jones.

    United dont ever try to win the ball back. It's all passive defending, just standing off and 'shepherding' West Ham all the way to their box.

    Not one player sprinting or putting a tackle in.

    What a horrific United strip that is

    Sky’s coverage here is muck - missing loads because they’re showing replays.

    Bowen is such a baller.

    Incredible recovery tackle by AWB

    West Ham should be out of sight here. Might regret that yet.

    Brady, Gold & Sullivan should be ridiculed till the day they leave West Ham for sacking Moyes bringing Pellegrini in then giving him total control of the club while giving him £170m for transfers then sacking him and bringing Moyes back who played better football before and after Pellegrini.

    Utd performance in the first half was as bad as their Jersey.

    Pogba's primary occupation is a Doritos salesperson, not a footballer.

    What's the story with Laporte at City? Doesn't seem to be a guaranteed starter anymore and it doesn't look like a fitness issue.

    Was poor in the defeat to Spurs and since then it's been bench, not in squad, bench & bench again today.

    Not sure about him specifically, but Pep seems to do this every so often, where good players are taken out of the team despite playing well - Sane and Bernardo Silva the obvious examples. Guessing he's very very strict on training performance and behaviour, and if you drop off the pace at all or displease him at all you're out of the team.

    Pogba and Telles particularly bad for the goal, like statues

    Don't think anyone can say he lived up to the price tag and will go down as an awful transfer for United.

    Bang average, passenger for the majority of games at United.

    For me, he represents everything wrong with United in the last number of years.

    United look lost without Fernandes who makes the team tick, relying on Pogba to do similar will let fans down every single time.

    WH will have nobody to blame but themselves when United end up going on and winning this

    And West Ham keep missing chances. As you said, if they don't get the 3 points, they will have thrown them away.

    That's a stinking miss by Bowen.

    Think they need shooting practise

    So Fernandes not injured. OGS is clearly detached from the reality of his situation if he thinks Utd are good enough to win games without Fernandes.

    He is unfortunately but Ole knows that Bruno is the only person who can save his job.

    While I'm not writing off a 19 year old, it's madness to hear people compare Greenwood to the likes of Owen and Rooney at the same age, he looks miles off them

    He's got qualities, but comparing him to those players does seem a bit ridiculous in fairness.
