Few thoughts on yesterday.... 12:11 - Nov 25 with 674 views | seblue78 | Muric starting to look more like the real deal. A much more assured performance, albeit not huge amounts to do. But filled me with more confidence. Similarly O'Shea. Him and Burgess seem to work well. Greaves maybe just shades it given his ability on the ball, but like a couple of others, big Cam has looked capable each time we've stepped up a division. He's certainly taken his opportunity. No doubt helps having Axel on the right and dropping in. It's fast becoming a case of Cajuste and Morsy or Phillips to me. In terms of balance. Jens looks class. Big signing that one. Him and Morsy were immense. Totally bossed that midfield, first half particularly. Jack Clarke much improved on the press/energy, which he lacked in the initial few games. Will have a big part to play. Hutchinson scared the life out of Man U - I know Delap is, rightly, getting the headlines, but what a player: so brave on the ball. England regular of the future. Best reffing performance i've seen at PR this season - wasn't duped by Man U theatrics and let the game flow. No silly cards. Fair play. It's becoming abundantly clear where we need to strengthen. Upfront and on the right. That aside we look in pretty good shape. Thought Diallo was good for Man U - other than that a very average bunch of overpaid fannies. |  | | |  |
Few thoughts on yesterday.... on 12:22 - Nov 25 with 573 views | _clive_baker_ | I thought Muric's positioning for their goal was suspect in real time. I've seen it back since and perhaps a little harsh, but he seemed to find himself in no mans land a little bit. O'Shea was absolute superb yesterday. In time I think Greaves comes back in alongside him, we've not spent £30m+ for that not to be our partnership but that's no slight on Burgess who has done really well. Axel and Davis pick themselves right now and establishing that settled back 5 is going to be vital for us. Cajuste is the most direct Luongo replacement for me, operates that role so so well, I think he'll keep improving as the fitness comes and can hopefully be an 80+ minute player rather than a 60-70. He's so good on and off the ball, proper player and with Morsy's performances its going to be hard for Phillips to get back in. Hutchinson and Delap, class, proper X factor there and vital they stay fit as they start every game if they are. I agree about the ref, we've seen some honking refereeing performances this season but very fair to call him out positively yesterday. Didn't show a card, didn't need VAR, let the game flow and it meant for a good spectacle. Another point, another encouraging performance. That's 4 on the bounce now since Everton, the narrow defeat at Brentford where we led 2-0, the performance against Leicester that warranted a win, win at Spurs, draw at home to United. 3 defeats in our last 10 games, there's no doubt we can and are competing at this level. |  | |  |
