Could not watch game live in Oz. Just watched replay.

Those strange expressions on players faces! Never seen them look that happy for a long time.

It's the usual post manager purple patch but hopefully it lasts until Amorim gets his feet under the table.

Good win against a shadow Leicester side.
Hopefully ruud can guide us to 3 more wins before Amorim arrives.
The Dark cloud and sour lemon has been removed I'd expect to see players play with a bit more freedom.

Good win. Defense looked very shaky on the few occasions it was pressured.

Thought we played quite well with 10 men. To score 5 goals without a forward on pitch is impressive.

I don't care about conceding 2 if we scorw 5. Our biggest issue has been our inability to score goals. Haaland has as many goals in the league as United, that's pretty damning.

Winning every game 5-2 or 4-1 would suit me just fine.

Not a fan of Zirkzee, Kurtis?

Zirkzee for me looks like a poor signing we made as he had a release fee and we’d have been fleeced for anyone half decent. He’s tidy enough and links up play I guess but well short of what I look for in this kind of player.

I think he needs time to adapt to the pace of the league. There is a good player there and we should give him time. Playing upfront for united is one of the hardest position given who has played there before and our current front 3 and bruno are not exactly the easiest bunch to play with and all have their weaknesses in terms interlink play. I would give him a season to adjust. Many new players across the league with different teams going through the same thing.

Nothing about what I have seen of Zirkzee suggests there is a player there. I'm fed up of giving players "time to adapt to the league". Haaland scored 36 goals in his first season. Where was his time to adapt?

I'm sorry but Zirkzee is closer to Bebe than a decent striker.

Nothing like writing a player off by November of his first season. A few weeks ago I was reading that Ugarte is terrible and an awful signings, he had hardly played a minute, Zirkzee looks like he has something about him but hasn’t quite been able to make it work, maybe he will be a terrible signings but I’d give him longer than 3 months in a terrible team.

By the way Kurtis the Haaland example is a ridiculous one, for every Haaland there are 10 players taking their time to adapt, you can’t pick the anomaly and say everyone should be like that, it’s not a fair comparison.

Kurtis

You can't be serious if you are using Halaand as a benchmark. Talk about taking the biggest outlier to measure Zirksee against. They bought the top talent from the Bundesliga at a serious cost if you believe some of the agent fess that are mentioned. Guy who scored for fun in CL and Bundesliga.

I think we knew exactly what we are buying, a young striker at a pretty low cost given what strikers go for that he will need time. You hope he hits the ground running but most don't especially coming from other leagues.

Look at Mbeuno who I never paid attention to until last year just as one example. Very indifferent first year 4 goals in 35 games. last year 9 goals and this year already scored 8.

Fan base needs to curb some of their expectations with our recent purchases. We are buying young players from outside the prem who have potential to become great/ excellent players. Its a tough league to go straight in bang them in. Judge him at the end of the season and next year imo.

Chelsea guy Jackson same thing starting to show his capability and will be great player imo.

In our case if you are a striker guys like Rash, Garna, Bruno are so erratic with their decision making its hard for a striker to anticipate what they will do.

I always tell Yorkie when he blows sunshine up his own back side that having giggs, beckham, scholes and even the fullbacks made life easy for them, they knew make the run and the ball would arrive most times on the money.

Our wingers last choice is finding the open guy, its looking to score for themselves.
