The match didn't kick off until fasting was over.

The way we played last night, they must all be fasting.

I did see much evidence of anything fast going on.

I hate to kick a man when he’s down but his passing is literally weak. It has no zip. It’s rolling to a standstill by the time it reaches its target.

Judging by his quotes, probably has half an eye on a move and the World Cup. Knows his body.

I'd sell anyway. If you talk like that you need to back it up. He isn't doing that when we most need him. Should be running games.

Yep, I'd sell too. And I'm someone who wanted us to sign a player like him for years but his injury record, going on record as saying he wants to join an elite club and then going missing when we need him most (now) means that for me he's this summer's Diaby / Duran. A FFP leveller.

I thought he was going to make so much difference but it hasn't happened yet.  He seemed to be the swashbuckling all round midfielder we were missing but he's been largely flat and doesn't command in the way I thought he would.

He lost the ball under pressure in the first couple of minutes and pretty much treated it like a hand grenade thereafter.

We're trying to get our midfielders to collect the ball from the defence, back to goal and under pressure, then spin their man and launch an attacking move. It works with McGinn's arse, Kamara's nous, and Tielemans' control.

It doesn't work with Onana, that's just not his game.

Hopefully he has a brilliant World Cup & we can get top money for him. I just don't see what he adds to the team.

Hope he has a good World Cup.

For his sake and ours.

Summer football, nice pitches.

Hell, even Carlos Sanchez could look good for 2-3 weeks.

Yanited are still capable of daft transfers, so might pony up £40 million if he does well out there. Failing that, he'll prob have to settle for one of the biggest clubs in Saudi. Less games though, and played at walking pace out there. So he should be fine injury-wise. Then again...
