Ings is really starting to look like a panic signing to pacify the natives after Rat boy.  No chemistry at all between him and Watkins

System-wise - hard to judge, but one thing I will say is a danger of wingback systems is that they tend to have chances fall to them, and as we saw a bit with Cash today and definitely with Targett at Old Trafford that can be sub-optimal.

Cash has had a great half, the link up play and getting the ball into the box has been working very well.

Ings is a quality player and in now way a panic buy. Maybe it's not working yet, but that doesn't mean to say it wont.

Did Watkins play as a two while at Brentford?

He's played really well yeah, but I'm not sure I'd have him over Bert when a shot opens up on the edge of the box.

He played wide, Maupay CF.

Like Traore, he tried to break the back of the net. At least down the right we look a threat.

Oh yes, I forgot that Maupay was there at the same time.

Was more a criticism of 3 at the back - wouldn't mind seeing both of them down that side.

Bugger. Targett is such a good defender, but wish he could attack better

Like the Everton game this could go either way, hard to tell at the moment. People will get frustrated with DS i fhe persists with OW.

Oh there you go.... 1-0
