Good half. One won't be enough though, need to keep this up.

Hamstring. Hopefully it's not too bad.
He's injury prone so this could be precautionary.

That resulted in us winning the ball back cos the keeper had nowhere to go

It's why Hag keeps picking him
Yeah he's a clever player. He's young, foreign, new to the league, he'll improve. The problem is, what he doesn't do is run at and beat players to open the opposition up. Neither does Sancho. Stylistically they're similar and it leaves us a little too one dimensional. We need at least one of the wide forwards able to beat players. Rashford can do it to a point, but he's better running at space.
Definitely. Too similar. Both like to come inside, play one twos etc which makes them predictable.

If I had to get rid of one it would be Sancho. Antony has a bit of flair and can add more to his game. He also knows Hags system and is helping teach others on the pitch. Sancho looks done. He'll also be earning a shitload cos he was a marquee Ed signing.

I'd probably take that. We could sign better for that amount. He's been a real disappointment. Nowhere near as quick or direct as I thought.

Really depends on a lot of things. If Hag manages to transform us into a ball dominant attacking side, then that style of wide player is what you want. Not saying they’re both of the required quality to win titles but if that’s where we’re headed, don’t think either of them are going anywhere.

Good to be leading but I’m still not 100% convinced. Reckon Hag has gone apeshit at them. They seem properly motivated and focused for the first time since February.

I wondered if he'd been fasting for ramadan as well and just didn't have enough time in that mini break to get the required number of pies in

Unfortunately for us only casemiro scores from corners. Might as well not bother with them and play it short.

Replacing a couple of tidy players. We might lose control here.

Ivan Toney always looks dangerous. Worth bidding for next season imo. We can't spend 100s on a striker.
