It was the second pass; looked pretty close to me but yeah not as much as the replay showed.

That was a dodgy offside on the goal btw

Yup, I've not got any hope for him anymore. Get rid if you can in January.

Being usually shite there so far.

I think we'll mostly see a 5-4-1 with Hall and Tino pushing out when possible. Burn on the left against Semenyo does birth nightmares so Howe will have covered that.

Quite the bench today, we've come a long way lads Upto the lot to keep things competitive, the big boys can come on and help after 60 minutes.

Ooof. That line up does knock the wind out of you a bit but I suppose it's needed really. I think we need Bournemouth to have a bad day for once again us and hopefully Willock and Miley are upto the task.

Not exactly like Howe to make wholesale changes to the defence, especially when Burn has been doing so well. I expect Thiaw to start with him. I hope Hall does come in though, he was outstanding before the injury and at some point he has to come back in because we need his ability on the ball. I'd be happy with a draw, always a tough game there and they're in great form.

I assumed he would have started if fitness wasn't an issue, but it seems most on here think it was a tactical decision? He got cramps after less than an hour last weekend, and Howe has clearly mentioned he's not ready physically. This is why losing Wissa is such a blow. I don't think we had much of a choice last night other than starting Gordon in the middle, as much as I'd liked to see him on the left. I agree Barnes just doesn't offer enough on the whole as a starting player.

Missed the game but sounds like it was a somewhat predictable outcome; great effort, good chances, quality between the two sides and Wissa's injury made the difference in the end. Meh. We'll be okay if we keep performing like that, and get big Nick up to speed asap.

"Let's call an extra ordinary board meeting tomorrow gents, I think that backpass from Bruno that resulted in an own goal might have set up a lightening counter attack if it had been placed 5.7 metres to the right. We need to get a handle on this ASAP"

From an article on Sky, is this really what the ManU board are now doing, watching highlights and thinking 'oooh if only that had gone in?' and that is driving the decision making? Fantastic if true and it would explain a lot

Ah so Lahm is Germany's Rio Ferdinand, got it.

The constant statements about how 'we're the worst team ever' must also be a real boost in the dressing room

I love how Amorim basically challenges the club to sack him at the end of every interview. Ten Hag was a gift and we couldn't have asked for a bigger disaster as a replacement. Utterly incompetent, fails to adapt in anyway and publicly says he wont, 'just sack me if you want to get better'. Incredible There's still a few in the media that are hanging onto the notion that he just doesnt have the right players. I mean how much do you want to be able to spend man? Buy every good player on the planet and then credit the manager when it finally goes your way? Hopefully Ratcliffe thinks the same and/or is skint and they have to keep him around for a while yet.

We just need some points to get the confidence going and this will help. A result against Barca would too. I thought Burn and Schar did brilliantly individually but as a whole they had too much space running at us. Woltemade and Tonali the other stand outs. Tonali is just on a different level. And this was just the debut Nick needed. The rest of the players looked off it for the most part. Shouldn't read too much into the performance just yet, we'll get going soon enough. I'm just not convinced with Barnes, he's great when he's on it but just adds very little to the team when his one trick isn't working. Gordon coming in will be a lift.

Phew. Get in. 3 points and season starts now

Bruno is so daft at times man why are you going down there ffs

Had me worried too

Can't get a touch on the ball for our lives here

6 added minutes

There we go the no need useless freekick giveaway from Bruno we haven't seen so far this season

The engine on Tonali man, top play again there getting back to cover and stop the counter

Trips has had some strange moments this game but luckily gotten away with them so far

Tonali just different class from everyone else clear to see. Could really do with a second goal here
