How did Garnacho miss that at the end - jesus. If Rashford had shot I’d have won a tenner (Rashford shot on target at evens) - but he did the right thing to pass tbf, shocker from Garnacho to not finish.

Really needed to get that win over the line. More important than the performance for me. Some good stuff at the end of the first half but just chaos at times in the 2nd.
Mazraoui was superb. Absolute steal if that’s anything close to his base level. Really liked the look of Zirkzee too. Not an old fashioned target man in any way. Can see he has plenty of quality on the ball and that debut goal should do him the world of good

We should have won by more. A different 1-0 win than the Wolves game, 1st game of the season last season.

I thought Casemiro was good again tonight. Perhaps there’s a chance…

Had a couple of good chances at the start of the game - Slimmer Case is best Case.

37 games to go to #21!
Nice to get off to a win for a change. Should have been more convincing but hoping that'll come over the next few games.

Zirzkee was involved in the build up to the goal as well as finishing it off and I think that illustrates why he could fit in really well here and Hojlund's injury gives him a real opportunity to stake his claim. And Erik has no excuse not to start him in the next game which will mean that Bruno can come in for Mount in midfield.
Erik has already told us he doesn't think we are ready for the new season. We've added quite a lot of new faces. A lot of players had little involvement in the pre-season because of international duty. So I think at this point a win is a win and we should wait a month or two before we start worrying about the performances.

Good win and hopefully we build on this.
Could still do with a couple more ins and outs though.

Top of the Table 😇. If they can improve their finishing can do well. Garnacho should be starting over Rashford. Hopefully De Light starting sooner rather later.

I thought Casemiro was good again tonight. Perhaps there’s a chance… He absolutely was. Seen some folk on Twitter saying he just looked a liability again but not for me. Much leaner and fitter. Still need to get another mid in though.

Still need to get another mid in though. He's got plenty left, just can't be relying on for an entire season. Ugarte coming in will take the pressure off hum while maintaining the legs in midfield.

Good foundations from which to start building a good season hopefully. Mazraoui was excellent and also delighted for Zirkzee. Also amazingly we looked composed playing out from the back, which is amazing considering how appalling we’ve been at trying that recently.
I still don’t get the point of Mason Mount though. Would probably be a useful addition at a team like Fulham ( at best).

Decent performance, got the points and a clean sheet. Obviously great debuts but I want to call out Maguire. I thought he was solid and fair play to him; gotten bucket loads of abuse but he's put his head down and got on with it. I never thought he'd still be here as we go into 2025 but it looks certain he will. The shit he has got from fans and social media could easily have destroyed him, he's mentally very strong to cone through that.
