Fingers crossed Jiminez is ok, doesnt look good at all, the looks on some of the faces tells a story :(

Not sure Luiz should be continuing after that either (not sure hed be allowed to in rugby after a blow like that)

Yeah, strange how a player can be down for so long with a head injury be allowed to stay on.

in light of head injuries being more and more in the news surely its time for football to introduce compulsory temporary subs for 10 mins for head injuries like that to ensure the players are properly tested, been too many examples in rugby of players continuing when they shouldnt which is now not being allowed to happen, surely football has to follow

The amount of claret coming out of his swede is enough to have him off.

Such poor defending from us, just let him run at defence free shot, poor keeping. I thought we getting stronger at the back, obviously not.

lol, only way weve got better is more men behind the ball and sides not being clinical against us, still got the same not good enough players sadly

statue in midfield, luiz shouldve been off after the injury, i assume we must have brought a proper dud in saliba for 25m+ if he cant even get in the squad. very hard to fathom what 5 or 6 of the side are actually adding tonight, and not sure they know their roles especially going forward :(

gabriel and partey must wondered what theyve walked into
 
were now in the worst spot possible, arteta is starting to compromise his "philospohy" having realised it just wont work with the personnel he has, more worryingly is that hes still picking most of the same personnel and im not actually sure what out structure/approach is now supposed to be

get Tierney to left back to mark Traore and free Saka up to play further forward so that we actually create a chance. Holding for Luiz alongside Gabriel. get Xhaka off, move Willock into the middle in his role and bring Reiss Nelson on to the right allowing Willian to play more centrally. Has to be better than this, albeit be nice if we had an ozil/smith rowe or anyone who can pick a pass to bring on :(

I keep telling everyone until I’m virtually blue in the face that United have been desperate for a genuine finisher for far too long.

Rashford - great stats for a 23 year old but I still say he does the difficult things well, but the routine not so well. Misses a lot of one-on-one chances. And rarely, if ever, makes a run across his defender in the 6-yard box like Cavani did for his second.

Martial - really good finisher on his day but drifts in and out of games far too much.

Neither are number 9’s and are not the long term answer in that position. If we get a season or two out of Cavani and he nips in with goals like he did today he may still prove to be a good bit of business.

Nothing worse for a player than looking up and there is no one in the box.
I love a big CF who can worry CBs .
Never really seen much of Cavanni . but hope the lad does well.

That would mean the Footy Authorities doing something sensible so wouldn’t hold your breath.
Him not coming out second half would suggest they were wrong to let him stay out there.
