@Altgthr@JDJMcCread I think people hang their hats on xG too much. Sure it’s an important factor but it shouldn’t be the only thing, it should be one of many things that inform decisions, not the only thing.
Ayden Heaven for £1 million feels like the smartest bit of business United have done for YEARS. Impresses me more and more everytime he plays - mature beyond his years, physically brilliant and reads the game well. In two decades of transfer mess & chaos, we’ve found a gem there.
HUGE win. Proper away performance, classy. Really good once we got the goal, never really looked like losing that lead.
Mainoo absolutely brilliant against a £200 million midfield pair. Heaven impresses me more and more everytime he steps up.
I don’t think anything can put into words just how bad that performance was, what on Earth did we just watch? Holy shit. There HAS to be changes at half time.
Should be 3 or 4, perhaps even 5-0, at half time, to Leeds. Never seen so many unforced errors and sloppy passes in one half. 3 week break hasn’t helped - but this is inexcusable.
Mazraoui has fallen off a cliff. That Ugarte/Casemiro pivot is enough to give someone nightmares.
Can we just concede games at St James Park at this point? Beyond bored of our lot shitting the bed once the Newcastle fans make a bit of noise. Haven’t won since 2020 there now.
The fuck was up with Mbeumo today? Kobbie so so passive today too. Besides Bruno, Zirkzee looked like the only player capable of making something happen tonight.
My god this has been a bad watch. Players shitting themselves at St James Park in the evening yet again. You’d absolutely think we had 10 men and not Newcastle.
