Is it just me or was he absolutely dreadful last night? I know it's only one game in but his touch and passing were all over the place. I also thought he looked ill - really gaunt and skinny. Anyone else noticed that?

I was impressed by United last night, some of the best teeth and hair in the division. Antony top of the class, so immaculately well turned-out. A credit to the club.
Garnacho also really impressed with his "silver tips".
These 2 are setting the standard very high. An honourable mention for Martinez as well. Very pretty.
Its no wonder the likes slabhead and McT are wanted gone, they just don't fit in.
I fear our lads will be embarrassed at WHL at the weekend unless Ange sacks the stylist pronto.

Maybe you could bring pogba in to even up the odds?

Its a good option but Levy will never go for it. I was up for getting Firmino from Liverpool when he left them this summer. He would have taken us to a new level. We have a champions league level stadium and players with non-league level dentistry and lock-down DIY hair. It's an embarrassment and as with all things, it's Levy's fault.

The whole eleven was appalling last night. Not a player came out with any credit. OP could be re-written with any player who started last night.

Garnacho is a kid and cost us nothing. Antony far more worrying.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Given that they are both long-term contracted members of the squad now, why would the relative transfer costs of the players have any impact on your concerns about their performances?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because cost us 100 million? The financial outlay always matters in just how much their performance really costs us.

The player is either performing or not.
I'd be just as concerned about £0m Marcus Rashford failing to deliver as I would about £50m+ Bruno Fernandes failing to deliver, because they're both key members of the side.
In terms of what is being delivered on the pitch, the player's cost in terms of transfer fee outlay is entirely irrelevant.

I know it was the first game but it was still an eye opening performance.
Getting outrun and overpowered, players not moving, poor decision making, concentration lapses, loose touches, wayward passing and players not being in good positions to receive the ball and to defend transitions.
I'm not one bit convinced by the personnel and structure of our midfield. It'll continue to cause us headaches this season unless we bring in somebody with better defensive positioning and somebody who can retain and move the ball forward under pressure.
Garnacho's still better used as a substitute for now for his impact later on in games.

Sancho was also 73m and has been atrocious. Our front line up is mega bucks of non delivery

I feel you are a little biased against Antony. He wasn't good last night but probably the least worst of the front 4. Certainly better than Rashford & Garnacho.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 assist all season Process.
You seem to give Rashford a harder time despite 41 g/a.
Very bizarre mate. Antony is just awful. He will never hit those Rashford numbers or even get close.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Antony needs to improve. No arguments there but Rashford gets far more praise and a puts in plenty of performances like last night every season.
Antony was probably the least worst of our starting front 6 last night.
My only issue with Rashford is that he is overpraised.

"We've signed 3 players but our squad feels thinner, and more unbalanced, than ever."
Think you're overreacting a little after 1 game. 1 of those 3 hasn't played yet and we should hopefully be gringing in 2 more players (1 if slabhead doesn't stop being a belllend about a payoff).
Who has left that has made us less balanced?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I see it was the traditional First Game Of The Season Nuclear Meltdown on the live thread last night.
Glad I gave it a miss.

This argument of who was the least worst when they were ALL absolutely bleeding appalling is getting tiresome very quickly.
I wouldn't give any of them above a 4 last night. All three of them were absolute garbage.
