Grealish had a good game

Thought so as well, he was very comfortable with the ball and West Ham couldn't get close. Made good decisions too. I was impressed by both Grealish and Foden, hugely improved from Community Shield.

Grealish had a good game

Grealish had a much better second half than he did the first half along with Cancelo. I'd say they were told at HT to buck up, It was more so giving the ball away sloppy in the first half. The second half he used the ball well and was making good runs in behind he was also able to play higher up the pitch in the second half instead of having to constantly come deep for the ball in the first half.

Is it just me and did Haaland appear a bit pissed off when Pep substituted him..?

Nope, just you.

The tactics today really surprised Moyes. Pep’s conversation with Ferguson a while back resonated. You have to keep refreshing the squad, so that the message doesnt become stale. We are seeing the benefits of the team overhaul.

The limitations of Moyes tactics clearly exposed.

Be honest; he insulted Boulders at some point in the past, didn't he?

If he did and I find it, I shall type his words print it out and shove it down his rag throat….. oh no I can’t do that I don’t believe in violence… mmmm I’ll just put the witchy hex on him. ;-)

Cancelo was out fucking standing

Yeah, I thought so too mate, except for that horrendous ball he did in the first few mins!

Great weekend.
Not many teams will win away at West Ham.
They will be in top 6.
ManUre lost, & still look shite.
Dippers dropped points.
Haarland scores 2.
2nd goal what we've been missing.
What's not to like?

Just back home from that scorcher. That was a game run almost like a basketball or NFL game by the prodigious manager. I don't know how it looked on TV, but seeing Kyle and Joao running DM was fun to watch in real time. Jack and Phil were pure facilitators doing things on the sides and sacrificing themselves for action to develop elsewhere. Joao was outrageous at everything he has done and Rodri made himself worth £600 mil if Declan is £150 mil player. Gundo almost blew it with that automatic 'pass' in the second half, but apart from that I don't see the best 11 without him in the squad, he is actually running the whole game. And how even to comment KdB and Halland, just ridiculous, you know it is going to happen. But for me, Joao was head and shoulders above anybody else on the pitch, £7 pint of beer is worth for watching a player like him for 90 minutes.

The point is we have more superb players than 11. If Alvarez had played 60 mins, you would be raving about him. Similarly Bernado. We are awesome now.
Some people seem to have been surprised by how good Ake was today. He is excellent, as Pep said he doesn’t make mistakes. Improving all the time, Chelsea wanted him back. No way should we let him go, he’ll get plenty of minutes this year.

Good of Moyes to come out and admit that it was Pep’s tactical switch that completely threw them. Wham couldn’t get close
