Excuses excuses. It's bullshit, wake up.

Somebody has even said we played 3 times in a week as an excuse, do fuck off, thy is ridiculous as an excuse. Same sort that would say it didn't matter we played those games.

No depth, individual school boy error cost us, just because we had a go in the last 10mins did you really see us scoring.

Totally predictable and no, it's not ok because 0-1 at OT is not so bad, they were there for the taking.

our attack is a worry. looks very lightweight & we have very little creativity.
we look very limited & 1 paced.

need some new attacking options who offer something different.
 
You'd have thought that Young would learn his lesson.. He gets outed as a cheating Cunt time and time again, yet the first game of the new season and he is at it again.. Does he think that no one will pull him up on it?
And people wanted him here??? He's a part of the horrible cancer of the game..
 
Losing at OT on the first day of the season is far from the end of the world. Hopefully this shows Levy we really need another striker to change things a bit when the attack is not working. Overall the defense was solid, we just got unlucky with Kyle's OG. Poch subs were spot on but it's clear we still need more options.

If anything I think we will only improve from here.

Get a decent pacy wide player and another striker will see us improve. Not impressed with dembele or Chadli today.

Really? I thought, when the gameplan favored him, he did well. United press intensely-- some of our best attacks came when he was able to hold onto the ball under pressure and find Eriksen/Kane early on in the game. After they went up the game changed a bit and we needed someone a little less ponderous, but he was okay before that I thought.

Going off that, our ability to play out of the back today under pressure was a real positive. Jan/Toby/Vorm did well to retain possession for us through our best periods. I wonder how much that'll change with Lloris back, as his distribution isn't the greatest.
 
From going to get mauled by big spending Man U because we have missed all our targets - whoever they were - played in the Audi Cup and have Dier in DM to why didn't we get a draw Man U were lucky.

Window still open optimism needed.
First game not that bad!
