Shame for the young lad Hojland,hit some good form after a slow start.
How longs he out for?

2-3 weeks. And with Martial recovering from groin surgery that means no available striker. I can’t believe we went into this season with a 20 year old new signing and the most injury prone, lazy striker in the division as the only two recognised strikers in the squad.

Casemiro might be out for a while now as well with a head injury.

Hard to believe, but this is worst I've ever seen Rashford play. Absolutely useless up front. And I just have no idea what Bruno does, except get ball and play a ball that has a 10% success rate if you have a world class striker up front, and next to none with Rashford.

Garnacho only one who.looks like he could be a threat, but that is rare. Someone normally given it away before it gets to him.

I think McTomminay came on 10 mins ago, but not seen him. Just watching Fulham absolutely dominate midfield

I went from really looking forward to this weekend to secretly dreading it, all because of an injury to one player.

How is Martial still there?
Crazy 🤯
 
Absolutely horrific watch.

It was inevitable Utd would concede first, as they slept walk through game. Probably zero confidence they could ever produce a goal threat.

After conceding, suddenly started playing a bit. But still zero chance of scoring, as Rashford is horrific, and made of paper even if he does get into position to get ball.

And as I type, Maguire scores from open play (although will await VAR check so no celebration as usual).
 
Had a great chance to score a winner, after McTomminay played a ball across goal. Hilariously, Rashford decided not to run into that area, to get a tap in, and it was Lindelof who actually ran past him to try that run, but was too far back. The left back making the strikers run. Crazy

I’m not watching, but I’m guessing this won’t make Sky Sports Game Of The Day?

Oh. It might do now Fulham have pinched a winner.
 
Inevitable. Utd were all over them, but I knew Fulham most likely to score. Just one counter, and Utd players would get killed. And that is exactly what happened.

Two goals conceded by Onana, but he had no chance. Yet again, the chances we give away are absolutely gift wrapped.

Depressing to read your posts this afternoon. Please don’t take that personally!

One of our roll up group is a season ticket holder and he agrees regarding Rashford. His patience ran out a long, long time ago. I know you mentioned last week that he joins in any goal celebrations, but I get the feeling now that he is very much on the periphery. The future of the club is not Marcus Rashford, and I do wonder if not being at the front and centre of things may be a bit of an issue for him.

The image of Hojlund, Garnacho and Mainoo sittting on the advertising hoardings a couple of weeks ago reflects the future and, despite the bilge we are seeing so often this season, that future does still excite me. But I really don’t want Rashford to be part of it. He has absolutely stunk the place out this season and I rather think the Old Trafford faithful have long since had enough.

I pretty much agree, I don't think I want to pin my hopes that he had another season like last, when he can do what he did today. Worse than 10 men, at least with 10 men the players don't risk passing it to him. He can do a job on left, despite being pretty awful this season. But as a no.9, maybe the worst I have ever seen. Seeing centre backs making better runs than him was ridiculous.

My patience is also growing thin with Bruno. He just gives the ball away an incredible amount. He just gets the ball, then hoofs it forward. To be honest, even if the ball is on, he underhits his pass so much. Defender cuts it out, they get second ball and often launch a quick counter at the Utd defence. I'd love to see a stat to see how many dangerous counters the opposition have come from a Bruno pass.
 
First time watching Man City for a while and a few things

Very tidy on the ball , very good passing the ball etc but it just got a bit boring , doesn’t seem to be any exciting football despite being technically superb

Certainly very professional- Bournemouth though had plenty of chances to get level

Foden - outstanding on the ball , he should be one of the first names on the team sheet for England

Bellingham and Rice are shoe-ins for the midfield. You've then got Foden and Saka who should almost certainly be in which just leaves one more spot in a midfield five. Would Southgate leave Rashford out? Having those five with Kane up front would probably be too attacking for Southgate so can sadly see Foden being left out for Henderson or Phillips.

I think Southgate would def leave Rashford out. He has in the past. He almost seems to leave him out in periods he is actually doing well, then picking him when his form is dodgy.

Actually, in that case, he is a shoe in. If Kane gets injured, and Southgate plays Rashford up front, I will cry (and I'm not even English)

If anyone was using Arsenal's performance against Porto to judge them, the first 24 minutes against Newcastle might challenge that opinion

Not really. It's away from home Arsenal tend to have issues in big games, they're usually pretty good at home these days. Would like to see this Arsenal on the road when the pressure is on.
