On Riedewald - thought he was woeful - can’t run, can’t pass, can’t tackle and as you say can’t take a dead ball - not sure exactly what he can do and more relevantly why he is still at the club picking up a sizeable salary.

Then to top it all went down injured when he’d done nothing all game - wasn’t missed and will no doubt be out again for a lengthy period whilst picking up his sizeable salary - just get rid, he’s had enough chances and if anything getting worse - looking more and more out of he depth..!!

I was a bit disappointed with Jairo especially given the Man U performances.

Thought he was looking slimmer and a bit more dynamic but yesterday was left wondering as to whether he was showing the signs of somebody who has not played much football, or consistently, for a number of years now or somebody who just isn't quite able to make the necessary standard for the PL.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Agreed,
but at least his heart was in it, even though he was off the pace

Roy played in the manner expected as set by the circumstances.
We are back to the one shot on target during a game times of the past, and until our more gifted and attack minded players re-enter the fray it's going to be much more of the same, Roy knows no other way. Notably PV went in for a bit of Royball himself when things were getting tough last season. it's a natural reaction to the lack of forward minded players with that special something that can unlock the opposition.
it's not pretty, but given the circumstances one has to respect the point.
