You think he's a better player than I do, that's cool. Watch Armstrong with the ball at his feet running at the opposition. JWP can't do that. That's attacking play where Armstrong is better. Judging players on stats alone isn't the way to judge a player. As I say, we have different views. Mine is that he ain't all that.

You said that it all falls apart without him. It does not as we're never without him, he's played every minute. What he does defensively could be done better by Romeu. What he does offensively could be done better by Armstrong. I'm in the he's neat, tidy, great at free kicks, but replaceable camp. I appreciate that's the minority view which is fine with me.

Eh? He's never missing, so I'm not sure what that's based on.

Ditto.

So you're saying that the lad shouldn't have played the ball because there was a player behind the ball? That's not football as I recognise it.

Explain what he was supposed to with his foot after winning the ball?! Trousers is correct. He went for the ball and won it.

If you win the ball, you win the ball. His leg was in a natural position after. It hurt the lad, but not a red for me.

Not for me, the ref has been very trigger happy with the cards. The lad got the ball there, and had no chance of getting his foot out of the way

The

Alarm

He couldn't have complained if he'd been hauled off though. Sure he scored, but he was shit.

Yep. Some people would prefer a 4-3 defeat to a 1-0 win. He's in the results business, not entertainment.

We'll not get a better chance than we've got this year.

Yep, absolutely brilliant. Nice to see and hear a proper ish amount of fans back in an English stadium.

Ha!! Grealish on I had no issue with, it was Saka off. Worked out well in the end though.

Game. Set. Match. Nice.

Yep. That's why pointless back passes are pointless.

What a shit change. Saka was decent. Should have been brave and dragged off Kane. Sterling or even Saka through the middle to give us some movement. Fuck knows who Grealish is expected to pick out.

Or Watkins. Or Ings. We need someone who can lead the line and make runs.

Wtf was sterling doing then avoiding the pass to Kane? Balls aren't going to him when he's available. Odd.

Nah. Skill and poise.

If I'm making excuses for him I'd say that he doesn't make runs as nobody picks him out. He's been playing like a false 9 who doesn't even drop off. As you say, bizarre.

Nobody to bring on apart from Rashford. I'd prefer him though at the minute

Yep, on the rare occasions he's been in the box. So little movement.
