Great point. Two stolen from the scousers in total.
Another team where one player is worth more than our squad and we make them look pedestrian.
All the team did fantastic. JJ and Bornauw playing like squad regulars.
My MotM goes to Gruev as he did great tackles and was a big of a menace as BA usually is, who had another great game.
BA, Gruev and Okafor have some goals in them.
Feel gutted for DCL, a few inch away from 7 in 7 and I hope it doesn't knock his confidence. By all rights he scored against last season's champions within 10 minutes of coming on.

Don't worry Mo he has 7 in 7 anyway and the fact he had the ball in the net will keep his confidence sky high. We looked so much better when he came on.

Don't mind that he started on the bench tonight. He's played a lot more football than his body is used to recently and good man management from Farke to give him a bit of a rest.
Agree Gruev for a player who doesn't get many minutes these days held his own.
Hope Bornauw will make it for Sunday did well, but with Amps and a Rodon out we look a bit threadbare for when United come to town defensively. Not that they don't have their own selection issues in fairness but if bornauw has a true knock we might be forced into a back four.
On a more positive note in the first game of the new season we played the defending champ away and got a point, west ham drew at home in a must win game in the context of their season and forest also lost at home in on paper a game they must have targeted for three points.
In points terms its the same gap as ahead of gameweek 18 but minus a difficult away game for us and minus a good home game for both our rivals. We get anything against united and if west ham fail to win at molineaux at the weekend it'll be increasingly promising.

Agree with all that Ealing.
Good post.
Let nut the custards. 4-0 for me. Bring it on.

Great points Ealing.

I think we stole the legendary Anfield too, it was like a bloody library yesterday.
Cracking point on the road for Leeds, team performance and well done to the fringe players that took their opportunity ??
Bring on Man Ure.

please don't use that Leeroy. It originates from a very nasty song created by Baggies' fans about the Munich disaster and was from a line about the Man Utd players being manure on the tarmac.

Do us a favour Ealing stop calling them United where United as well.

Ed001 how have you posted as a poster and not an Ed there? Never seen that before.
{Ed001's Note - easily. My account works for both, as do all the editors. It was just because I accidentally pressed submit before putting in the reply.}
