This is so frustrating. Dominating the game, but no cutting edge. I cannot remember a time or team when our final ball was, consistently, so bad. Great energy, great link up play and then.... poor pass or poor cross. It’s doing my head in.

Sean Maguire looks like he’s transitioning from Sinead Maguire.

I thought he was superb. When was the last time we saw a player just glide past people with speed and skill, but, critically make the right decision and use the ball well? I think Mount is the more complete player, certainly better off the ball, but I think Holmes might prove to be more dangerous on the ball. I love this, it’s like were spreading a transfer window out over the season and introducing “new” players. Who’s Next?

I’m not happy with Malone’s socks over knees action. Will probably start a seperate thread on it.

That and Man Utds record of late goals. As soon as the VAR was cleared I was pounding the cash out button. One advantage of not being at the game, no way would I have been able to with the usual poo internet at grounds and all of those United fans hitting up Uber.

Superb performance by BJ. However, he's always had this ability. When he first joined and in his first 5-10 matches or so, he was immense. Not only giving us some steel we'd previously lacked, but I remember then that he could make space for himself, moved the ball well and produced some superb defence-splitting passes. At the time I thought "This is what we've been missing." But, it all started to go wrong. I seem to remember him being injured, his form took a sudden nose-dive and he was getting merciless stick. Didn't he even get clapped off in one match? Disgusting stuff. He was never the same as he was in that first spell of his time at Derby, although he has popped up with some useful goals. He seems born again, obviously a confidence player. He's letting himself down with his shooting at the moment, but once he gets that back, I think he'll prove to be one of the best, and most complete, midfielders in this league.

Pogba - that’s my outfit for Friday night

It woould be nice to see Martial go off injured.... oh, is that Alexis Sanchez warming up?

I can’t believe that we look the better team. How far we’ve come from last season.
