Steady on!

We've kept a good rhythm so far.

What a wasted counter by Utd. I felt sure that was the opening goal and Mikitaryian went all Redmond on them.

At the moment I'd say everyone looks up for it. Hopefully we can keep our heads above water.

Great effort Long. Never gives up.

Not sure if it's just precautionary but certainty doesn't look good for Lukaku.

I'd rather him than the pace of Rashford.

JWP decent effort. Look a bit loose at the back though. Can't see us keeping them out for much longer.

Worrying. Maybe we do need to replace VVD

Long just needed to let it run there. No need to trip.

Maybe if they get rid of MP they hope KD can step up?

Whom for all their awful play this season and embarrassing signings, are only 1 point below us.

We'll get to the final days of the transfer window with no news and start looking at eachother going "surely we'll get a new centre back in?" In the final hours it'll become increasingly obvious that no-one is coming despite gaping holes in the teams quality. The next morning the club won't even mention it. Later in the month we'll make a deal with a former top class player who has been out injured for the past 2 years to solve our problems. And claim it was the plan all along. Like last January then..

Isn't Fonte just pointing out to Bertrand that we've sold yet another of our top players. And showed a total lack of ambition. So if you ever want to win anything you need to leave? He's right. But not to West Ham (though as bad as they are they are only 1 pt below us).

Bertrand leaving would be a big loss. Will depend who we bring in the replace. Given our recent record that'll probably be no-one, someone from Championship or someone you've never heard of.

I feel we've done all we can with him. We need committed players and that is a huge amount of money. Far from guaranteed to be a success.

Hopefully Reed watches Match of the Day.

Unless something happens before Saturday. 4-0 Utd.

How can he honestly make that assessment after a 5-2 defeat. We were lucky it was only 5.

Are we actually worse than the last time we went down?

Half time team talk helped then. Going to be several it seems.

Another changed team. Another stuttering performance. Surely the club has to act.

Depressingly predictable. No fight left.

First of many given how it's going

Bit odd if its true City are after him. Guaranteed premier league winners medal there.
