Khus is rapid and I wonder whether his absence from the team last year was due to him learning the RB role? His brief touch map from was almost FB like

I think Khusanov's absence had more to do with a contract clause of an additional £5m (iirc) being owed to Lens based on appearances up to the end of last season. He was played right up to that limit & not a second more.

Plus, there was also the return from injury of Dias, Akanji & Aké.

Yes maybe but he was very clearly a cb alongside Dias on Saturday. Even though the map showed him out on the right a lot. I'm not sure on his role. But I like him. I like the aggression.

This weekend only one Premier league team managed to receive more yellow cards than their opponent despite committing less fouls. Guess who!

It was the Australian - Liverpool supporting referee, Gillet. He showed great leniency to Wolves players at times. Gonzales in particular took one or two hefty challenges that merited a yellow, imo.

Ref cheated again, even the players got fed up with his home team rules.

Yep. But careful, some on here will say it's all in your head and happens to every team..

Always best to compare what yellow cards were given for what rather than just the fact they were given. I can’t remember feeling that we shouldn’t have received any of the bookings we did, nor that Wolves should have when they didn’t.

Although, it was baffling that Maguire didn’t get booked yesterday for legging up an Arsenal player running at the Utd box.

What about Bobb being hacked down when he was about to break on the half way line? Yellow every time except against us .

Great start to the 25/26 Season, it will take the first nine to ten games before we know the best partnerships in defence midfield and up front. Change of goal keeper will determine how we play from the back.

For my match day excitement, just now realised that we scored the way I wanted to see more:
1 far post tap in,
3 in low corners. Also from the edge of the box. And on the break.

Thanks!
Keep going.

I'd add to that - Haaland running onto the ball, not just receiving it to feet, surrounded by 2 or 3 defenders.

Away from the performance, did anyone else see that lad in the toilet at half time threatening to fight anyone who didn't think Trafford should be first choice and seemingly videoing it? Clearly absolutely out of his mind but even so bizarre behaviour.

Yes, Halaand seemed to have one or two things he wanted to say to the git.

Thought the whole game was a breath of well needed fresh air. Sat too many at home games lately just wishing someone would run fwd, maybe even pass fwd at times, almost like they’ve been reigned in, so it’s great to see players taking a risk. When was the last time we’ve seen players really enjoying the football? constant, powerful runs? The ball properly lobbed up the field from the goalkeeper on a regular basis was also a welcome sight, at least you have a 50/50 chance two thirds up the field, rather than a 50/50 chance of bundling it on the edge of your own box, or putting yourself under unnecessary pressure. The goals were real class, a true joy to watch. It’s early days, but I can honestly say I’m really excited about getting to the Etihad this year, and witnessing some fantastic football again! C’mon the Blues!!!
