They will be seriously embarrassed by this result. Difficult interviews coming up I suspect. That they simply strolled around the entire second half, tip tapping the ball amongst themselves and not even trying to make it a respectful score is unforgivable. Okay they did bother to score 6. But, against that shower? Embarrassing result for the blue half of manchester 😅

Great effort. Hope you enjoy your trip. Sneaky feeling we could get something positive out of those games.

There hasn't been. It's just a typical moronic baseless statement.

Excellent CB in his prime and I for one wish him all the best if he goes this window. Top professional and top servant of this club

Think he has been superb for us generally. Playing behind makeshift defences, different partnerships each week and for teams constantly losing their best players through transfers or injuries. He will be a loss if/when he goes and I suspect it will be no surprise to some how difficult it will be to replace that standard.

So was I. However, he was not 'hero' status as described, in my opinion (and will not be remembered as such). This was the part in the post written, that I commented on.

Really? I don't think anyone 'hated' him. He was (in my opinion) a good young player but had that mistake in him, and probably not what we really needed at the time.

🤣 Hardly hero status was he?

The casual beside me thought he would be clever and leave bang on 90. I laughed out load when the equaliser went in and knowing he would have literally just exited the bottom of the stand by that time. Poor decision

One of Fisher, EM or Kenny would be my choice

Not our day. We could play for another hour an probably not score.

Nunez and Kenny are simply excellent at this level with the last two games being case in point. Kenny made one or two errors today but he is one yellow away from a ban and that must be on his mind a bit. Still, despite that he was again one of our top performers and ran the midfield well against last season PL opposition.

If he nets 10 or so goals this season, and plays like last nights showing more often than not, then I feel that will be a very good first season.

That is abundantly clear to all but the entrenched. It is also very clear that despite the multitude of midfielders we have brought in during the years he has been here, not one has dislodged him long enough to warrant a mention or take his place. He may not be 'PL standard' what ever that means, but WE ARE NOT IN THE PL. And yes, there are better midfielders out there, as there are better forwards, defenders and teams, that's quite normal. Unfortunately, he is and will always remain a target (an easy target for some) for criticism/scapegoating no matter what argument is put back in his favour. Finally, the minute someone reverts to nit picking about his pointing during games (he is actually taking control something which is clearly needed) they lose the argument. We won 6-1. He is our captain, talisman, pivotal to our play and leader on the pitch. He never hides and is favoured by all the coaches. Yet despite that................ It's pretty clear to all but some!

I imagine it was his stag do and his mates made him wear it. The ultimate humiliation
