Good first game and that was him not being match fit.

Target wouldn't have been there in the first place.
Eventually he'll be the one on the end of Mattys' overhit passes.

Some lovely diagonal balls played to him in the second half and he was in acre's of space.

Two of them were great long balls from Hause.

The one that Hause drilled hard early in the 2nd half, I had to instantly eat humble pie.

"FFS Kourtney why the fuck are you doing that? "

Too

"What a fucking ball! "

I didnt realise he had that kind of pass in his locker.

I wasn't over impressed in the first half. He really grew into it in the second half though. He looks alright you know.

First half Man U did really well in restricting him receiving the ball. Tactically it was very clever but even so it didn't stop him popping up to have a shot on goal. Not sure if it was Hause but on a couple of occasions we fired over rocket paced balls to him and he brought the ball under control with his first touch. Forget Targett doing that, not many players in the league could have done it. He's certainly a very technically gifted player.

Wasn’t his booking his 5th of the season? Does this mean he will miss next match?

No, the commentator said his record reverts to zero due to changing clubs.

Targett wouldn't have made that stupid challenge with his wrong foot and been booked for it.

Based on his record at Everton, I imagine we'll find Digne the opposite to Targett - good going forward but iffy defensively. I guess to get the best of both costs £50m+

Well, not zero, he is still on 5 bookings. But no ban because that was our 20th game and hence after the cut off. If he'd still been at Everton yesterday and picked it up, he'd now have a ban as it was only their 19th.

And if the referee had given us the free kick moments before against fernandes for making a back for Sanson, he'd not have got that one.
Not then, anyway.

Certainly looks more dangerous than Targett. I've only seen the highlights due to a funeral yesterday and the subsequent party that made No 10's look like a picnic, sorry!!  His lunge for the yellow was pretty ugly but how was his defensive play otherwise?

It appears that Rafa is easy to fall out with, so those disciplinary fears may have dissolved too.  Could be an excellent signing, we badly need better supply for our forwards.

Odds on him doing an ‘Unsworth’?
