Thoughts so far? Bit of a nothing 1t half both teams could have scored but missed chances. What are the thoughts on Haller? Maybe I just watch him more because I like Antonio but he seems to have slipped back into his lax mode
We lack urgency / fast pressing in advanced positions when Antonio isn’t playing. Haller seems like a bit of a luxury player that we can’t really afford to carry at the moment. Why is Benrahma not getting time on the pitch after what we forked out for him, my Brentford supporting brother in law can’t speak highly enough of him.
That'll do... Good to see some sensible use of time in the last 5 mins down by the corner flag. I remember a few seasons ago we'd have still been sending over crosses and losing possession. Moyes and co do seem to have drilled them properly. We look a much more solid team these days.

Good result that - listened to last 10 mins, WH sounded v.solid again.
Not a great performance TBH. Could easily have lost that if the "Blades" had a cutting edge. We give the ball away for fun, especially Masuaka, he does my head in, poncing about with his hot shoe shuffle every single time he gets the ball. Fannys around, misses the obvious pass, disappears up his own arse and gives the ball away, Every single f
king time. Get your fking head up, pass and move you tt, you`re not Ronaldo. Still 3 points in the bag and hopefully when the Blades go down this time we won`t have to bung them 30 million quid.
COYI.

I’m still not impressed with Haller. He looks disinterested for much of the time.Hammer67 said:

I'll watch the goal later though, sounded a decent one; about time though - first in almost 12-mths apparently.

Moyes' reluctance to play Benrahma reminds me of Curbishely (and Pardew's) attitude towards Tevez.TCEvo said:

Bananarahma will get his chance at some point, probably when we do our usual trick of going AWOL over Xmas.
