I don't think you can have a data point for xG w/o an attempted shot but if you can, that cross to Hojlund that he just...missed...had to have been at least a .9.

That's two almost goals. The second half has been much better, other than Onana's complete ****up.

My hot take:

Garnacho will be sold in the summer to raise funds for other purchases. I don't think he has a future in Amorim's system. His best chance would to be remade as a left wingback but 1) why would he want to do that? and 2) it would be exceedingly difficult to do

Someone who does have a future in Amorim's system...

Hojlund. What a touch and goal.

Rasmus. The dude is a scorer.

How do we **** up a 3 v 1 break there

3 on 1 and Antony in the middle. That was never going to work was it?

Another break that was flubbed.

God we just did it again. Dribble right into the sole defender instead of passing out to the overlap early

Name of the game right now is just get points. By hook or by crook. That was mostly horrible even if the 2nd half was better. I think we're beginning to see who has a future as an Amorim starter/contributor and who doesn't. And right now, I'd say about half of the team doesn't...though I guess check back in February if Amorim somehow turns some of these underperformers into EPL talents in a 3-4-3.

The offense is really close to being made over and a real thing. I'm shocked that Amorim was able to implement this drastic a change this quickly. He is giving everyone a chance to show if they can play in his system and that's been a good thing.

The defense on the other hand is a nightmare. It's more a than a back 3 thing. It's just plain giving the ball away.

Garnacho and Rashford don't even make the bench for the derby. I haven't heard of any injuries after the EL game. If there aren't any then that's quite the statement.

Not an injury...

"We try to evaluate everything training performance, game performances, engagement with teammates, push their teammates up Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple."

The man has no problem making big decisions, I'll give him that. Let's see if he can handle the big consequences of his big decisions if this goes pear shaped.

City's first corner is a short corner. Clearly Pep doesn't watch game tape.

Mount off after 13 minutes. Chelsea will laugh about that one for years

Mount and Shaw need to sponsor the new medical wing at Carrington.

7th time Mount has come off due to injury since joining

What a joke. Silva launches himself into 2 United players and it's a foul on United. Which leads to a goal.

Super unlucky deflection there, but also Diallo has to close De Bruyne down before that

Oh and just saw it's Anthony Taylor. No wonder.

So. Walker yellow on the original shove and then second for the flop.

Never in a million years but I can hope.

We just played that last set piece with nobody on the front post. Yikes.

I missed a lot of that half and just saw the Walker play. I don't want to hear anybody complaining about Bruno as long as Kyle Walker is playing professional football.

God this is dire

That's a penalty? Defender never touched the ball and hooked his leg around Hojlund? Or are my eyes gone and he got a touch?
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yeah. That's a foul. Diaz missed the ball and then hooked his left leg around Rasmus.

Amad Diallo once again head and shoulders above the rest. That run and cross to Dalot...and then Dalot settles and turns away and United don't even attempt a shot.

To be fair, he's a RB playing LB playing LWB. The fact he settled the ball should be a bonus.

I wonder what Jedi would cost? He would be perfect in that spot. Speed to burn and he wants to bomb forward

Open goal and he's missed it by a mile.

I had the same thought about Jedi but no way United can afford him. Maybe last season they could have but the secret is out now. He's often called the top (or top 3) LB in the EPL. My guess is Liverpool go for him.

And yeah, I get Dalot is playing out of position. I think he could have done better but it's also an indictment of United losing possession 2 passes later.
