That one was for Jesse

That one was for Jesse

Jesse who?

 

[gary69]

That didn't take long. Nice low shot by Gnonto after Bamford laid it him. Hopefully Rutter sees some playing time today.

 

[Live in the Now]

Gnonto is a big hope for Italy at this point I would think. They don't have many other quality young attackers who can stay fit. In an ideal world Kean, Raspadori, or Scamacca would get into form and they'd have Gnonto and Chiesa flanking them.

Jesse who?

...Marsch

This United midfield is nothing with Casemiro.

This United midfield is nothing with Casemiro.

What do you mean? Fred the goat bossing around.

 

[Jussi]

Rashford would've scored that.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Garnacho did everything right there. Just a superb piece of defending

 

[gary69]

Garnacho should have scored that, but Wober positioned nicely to save the shot.

Divenacho getting a workout today.

Divenacho getting a workout today.

Seemed more like he was simply outmuscled. He's a twig at 18 years old.

 

[Brunkmeister]

This Gnontoguy can play. What is he doing at Leeds?

And now he’s down.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Too weak Lisandro at it again.

Garnacho all over the place good and bad.

 

[hatterson]

Too weak Lisandro at it again.

Garnacho all over the place good and bad.

Yea it's too bad he's too small and weak to succeed.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yea it's too bad he's too small and weak to succeed.

Another one down. He’s legit a menace. Loool

 

[hatterson]

I missed the first ~35 minutes, but Leeds have been defending really well from what I've seen so far.

Usually their biggest issue is running around with no coordination, but they're keeping the intensity but seem to have added some sort of defensive shape on top of it as well.

That looked like a pen live...

Martinez flirting with danger

 

[hatterson]

Looks like the leg on leg contact was just outside the box. Definite missed foul though.

Dalot is atrocious though. Just an absurd giveaway to lead to that.

 

[Venkman]

Bruno and Fred have been terrible. Sabitzer is in midfield on his own.

Get Rashford off the right. Sancho for Weghorst too.

I think he looks good in his debut too.

It was very close to me. Definitely upper thigh contact, which I guess can be hard to catch if you're looking at a swipe at the feet.

 

[Jussi]

And that's game.

 

[hatterson]

That's a handball that's given 99 times out of 100, but it's in the buildup so VAR can't do anything about it.
