Steve Moran is a HGV driver for a container hire firm. Source: He delivered our office containers to LHR. His legs look like they've been through a meat grinder. Proper hard them old school players.

Can categorically confirm, he would not have been coached this positioning. That would be akin to a driving instructor teaching you to drive on the wrong side of the road... The outcome is inevitable.

Hate to say it again... But he has shot himself square in the foot with his positioning, again. A full dive got him to the centre of his goal. He is a good yard further forward than he should be, too. He thought more than once about coming for it, which was never on the cards, and just had no idea where he was when he finally made his mind up not to. How more hasn't been said about DCC's antics in giving away the foul in the first place, which is inexplicable, has surprised me. But... You just can't get away with the above, at any level. It's worrying.

Just judging from the highlights, but he looked vastly improved on his recent performances. As per West End's post, he is obviously going to be likened to Mane and he had plenty of critics when he was here, and not without reason. He could be unbelievable, but would often go missing. This lad hasn't gone missing in his bad perfromances, he has just been genuinely awful. His display at Old Trafford was desperate, which in a resoundingly solid team display, is some achievement. Still very raw, obviously, and if we can nurture him in the right way he will be a right handful. His decision making needs vastly improving, though.

He looked excellent against Wolves, told us after the game he can do better, and has been the definition of horseshit since.

Just when they tease a bit of life, they give us a healthy dose of reality. Absolutely vile performance.

This. Hit me hard at Old Trafford on Sunday, just how utter shite this guy is. Fabrice Fernandes all over again.

Just back in from a brutal drive. Hope everyone on the roads back south does so safely. Horrible in patches. Well... You won't many 0-0's better than that. United fans crying hysterics over both the red (was absolutely a red now I've seen it back) and Bella-Kotchup's handball (arm planted on ground, which as we know isn't a handball). The Old Trafford mob don't half play up to the theatre of the Theatre of Dreams. Crying hysteria over every decision that has a fraction of a chance of going their way. As for us... How we haven't scored is beyond me, but it was an excellent display by (largely) everyone, but special mention to Bazunu and... can't believe I'm saying this... Jan "Beckenbauer" Bednarek. I've given both ample stick, but blow me they were magnificent today. Jan cocked up once early doors when he shafted a simple ball from a slip, but from that moment on he was a monster of a man at the back. Bazunu couldn't be faulted. His positioning was absolutely on-point, he got down to a few he probably didn't have a right to and he was confident in everything he even contemplated today. If he can keep that vein of form up, the lad can be anything. The outstanding negative for me, unfortunately, was Kamaldeen Sulemana. The lad just screams Fabrice Fernandes. Runs and runs and runs and runs, but couldn't pick a pass if his life depended on it and that only comes if he decides he is actually going to release the ball. FFS! Adam Armstrong done himself no favours, which for a fairly brief cameo was quite an achievement. If we needed any confirmation he has no hope at this level, it was firmly rubberstamped. Lavia was excellent defensively but wasn't his usual self on the ball, though they very obviously had done their homework on him, which is a compliment to the impact he is having. He was superb at breaking up their play mind, which is his main task. Alcaraz looked like he hadn't trained all week. Put himself about as he does, but didn't have the impact he can do. All in... A successful enough trip. My youngest has been well and truly bitten by the away day bug, anyway.

Just out from game. Bazunu… Monstrous. Bednarek… Monstrous. Funny feeling to come away disappointed with a point!

Monstrous.

JWP to equal and then break David Beckham's record, at Old Trafford...?

I'm driving up for this one. Staying in Altrincham Saturday night then heading in with my nipper early to make a day of it in Manc. Any decent parking suggestions?

Tickets are available online mate. I’ve just had a look myself. You can book for collection on the day, I believe.

The list of “Most Saves” means nothing without context. Bazunu Meslier Pickford In short… Baz is shite mate.

The lad allowing himself to be put off by Bazunu's inexplicable Superman impression, does not justify Bazunu's Superman impression. Bazunu should have read the flight of the ball. He didn't. Leicester should've scored. They didn't. If they had, which it's quite unbelievable they didn't, Bazunu would've been SLAUGHTERED, and quite rightly too. Your defence of him is reaching bemusing levels. It's genuinely strange.

Jesus Christ on a bike, Grandad. You are funny as f***.

I’ve been saying this for months. Grandad’s refusal to see Bazunu for what he actually is can only be explained by being his offspring. It is just like my nippers U9’s Manager and his son. 😂

Just watched MOTD as I was at Twickenham yesterday, though Mrs took our youngest. What was going through Baz‘s head last minute. Came for two crosses which were questionable whether to even come for, and completely misjudged BOTH. How we didn’t concede from the last one is utterly beyond me. His decision making is getting increasingly erratic, which is highly worrying.

That’s an abysmal back-pass, under no pressure and there’s no excuse for it. Yes, Baz should do better and with likes of those, you just stick your foot through it and have it away… But I’d be fuming with one of those back to me with oppo’s on the edge of the box.

At Twickenham but… GTFFFFFFFFFI!!!

Don't know what game you were watching, Grandad.

Have you just woken up from a very long sleep?

And to think, that's the bunch we'll be left with next season.

We're a joke. An actual, literal, joke.

Deary fucking me.
