They give that if it's the other way.

People slating Elyounoussi but he's done more than Aribo so far.

Fuck me, was there even anything we could have done about that? Where was KWP/ the midfield?

United come out with a lot more effort, unsurprisingly. Ride it out saints.

As usual he's been inconsistent, but his ball control is at times superb. Worth his starting place, especially as it means the players coming on are more likely to improve the performance if his slips.

We have definitely made a conscious effort to limit our energy output in the first half. There was a noticeable increase in effort after half an hour, and hopefully that bodes well for the second half.

Bazunus positioning for these freekicks worries the fuck out of me.

Here we go, jippy little freekick right on halftime.

Should be a yellow for mctominey there, refs left them in the dressing room.

It's so good having a genuine sweeper keeper.

Great clearance from ABK 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Wondering if it's worth bringing Romeu on for Moi and allowing JWP to roam forward more.

Holy shit.

ABK is immense.

Djenepo did well to get the tackle in but needed to be stronger to come away with the ball.

Lavia got the ball there.

If there was a strike greenlit and I could choose, it'd be fratton park getting blown to smithereens.

Only watched Sunderland's and currently watching Arsenal's and Wrexham's, enjoying both of them. Not interested in the slightest in City, Spurs or Juventus.

Advertising him as they think he should be at United then. Happy with our team, but not with theirs. Was hoping they'd get complacent and stick Ronaldo and Maguire back in.

Forget Ramos, is that an article about fucking Jason St Juste on the right!?!?

I don't get good feelings about that Ramos one. I think he'd end up being a flop.

What's the consensus then, is he definitely going? Weird that he was a firm favourite and nigh unstoppable for so long under Ralph and now he can't get in the squad to save his life.

Newport, Crawley and Gillingham have a good shout I reckon.

I think have the build up and match thread be the same, but do a new one for post match reaction. That way anyone just wanting to read the reactions and ratings doesn't have to search through pages of us morons going "w00t" and raging at Ralph before going mental and loving him again.

What I liked was seeing how much of a popular figure he clearly was with the rest of the squad, they all looked absolutely made up for him, Djenepo in particular. Even though it's his first appearance it really feels like he's one of the group already. It would have been great for the other youth players to see as well, something to strive for. Do we have room on the bench for Ballard in league games? I guess we must do, if Walcott was on the bench for Leicester.
