Centre Forwards

I thought in the first 15 minutes we looked well coached and disciplined, then one mistake gets punished and the discipline sort of went.
Arsenal are the elite of the elite, there’s not shame in losing the game and thought we did alright in parts.

It was a classic ‘welcome to the Premier League’ game. We’ve got a great chance next week to knock Hull down a peg and actually get ourselves off the mark.

Bizarrely we might be hoping that the mighty Hull are complacent 😂

I don’t think they will be complacent, Man U were just v sloppy and Hull were comfortable at the back.

Home advantage is huge in the Prem and we’ve really got to put the Arsenal loss behind us and beat Hull.

A very good point and this will need to be sorted or it could be an uncomfortable season.
Against this it was clear the players were very nervous from the start (hence the poor first corner). Get away from the glare and expectation of the TV and that should not be a problem and they can play to their potential.

Again, it’s where you need some more established heads on the pitch to help others through difficult moments in matches.

Hull were comfortable all over the pitch, Mcburnie was superb. They could have won 4.0

Not really, they had 3 big chances and one of them was McBurnie’s miss before Ajayi scored. They executed their game plan brilliantly and deserve all the plaudits. Man U had the better of the chances, they were just terrible. Carrick will probably win the sack race if there’s anymore performances like that.

For context, Man U’s xG was 1.83, Arsenal’s against us was 1.88. In a nutshell, that’s why Arsenal are champions.
 
How do you know we could get him? In 2025 they rejected a 30 m bid for him and he is under contract until 2029. Danish Super League not the highest level either
This says about the same fee as we paid for Cherif and I know which one id prefer

In excess of, all sounds a bit vague and journalistic guesswork to me. Turkish league is a higher level. We have got who we have got.

Arsenal stopped playing at 3-0. They could have run up a much higher score if they fancied it.
 
I don't give a shit about Hull or Mc fucking Burnie. We got our arses well and truly handed to us on Friday. We will learn quickly , we have to. We're a better team than Hull, let's just show the fuckers who's boss.
 
I think the Hull City game will be very tough they'll be buoyant after beating Utd. We know from our 2 0-0 games in the championship last season they'll be a tough nut to crack and will 1 million percent set up with a low block and look for the counter attack goal. Hopefully Ephron is fit and Cherif gets a look in but Awonyi definitely has to start up top. Hopefully we can bag the 3 points especially as we have Man City away the following game because things will really start to look bad even after 3 games and no points. Hull City and Ipswich home and away are games we really need to win at a minimum and pick up points here and there. Home games are going to be the key.
