No. Just not premiership level. Was excellent for us last year but lacks the pace to succeed at this level if played through the middle.

I made a mistake here. The Everton game is a cup match. Next three in the league are Ipswich, Bournemouth and Arsenal. Followed by Leicester then Man City...

Yes! It worked.

Looks like we're bottom and the only team not to get any points. Not great..

If we get to 10 games and only have 1 or 2 points then I agree. But too early to talk about that record.

After today RM may well give him a go. Archer, BBD and AA all blunt at this level.

FT thank goodness. Generally expect to lose against Utd and their vast resources. Next 3 vital to pick up 6 points or more.

You had to say something.. 3-0

Let's not be silly here. 4-0 would be fairer. Utd have sat back for most of the second half.

Just not good enough. If it stays 2 nil that'll have been a good result considering!

Everton, Ipswich and Bournemouth next on the league. We've got to be looking at minimum 6 points from that lot. First we must learn to score tho.

Awful challenge. Out of control.

Well, that'll get Stephens out of the game for a while Sent off.

We've got to be realistic. We barely scraped over the line last season and often looked vulnerable to every attack. Partially due to Bazunu. To come into the Premier League and survive was always going to be a big ask. We've made some decent signings and have improved the team. But defensive issues remain and despite getting two new strikers, neither look like what we need. Both have been in relegated teams.

We're pretty desperate at the moment. I'm not sure how much thought has gone into it. Maybe just get match fitness for a few..

Confidence totally sucked out

I'm seeing a lot of flat footed player's out there for us. Body language not looking like they're up for a fight and get in the way of things. Not exactly the characters you want when you are down and out. Need them to stand up.

No better than AA.

Zero threat from us.

Wide open down the flank. Starting this half like we've already lost. Need defensive changes.

The two teams operate on a different budget. We've spent a reasonable amount, but Utd sign one player for £40m+. We quite rightly should be nowhere near them.

Different game if we scored the penalty. Has turned out to be a pivitol moment.

Likely 4 in 4 defeats. Not sure there is much more Russel could do though. Have to hope this new setup can get something elsewhere.

This is going to be 3 before half time.

Pretty easy for them so far to be fair.
