Second half you could see the confidence in him and he was dancing with the ball, it was class

Vestergaard will probably come back in as he’s our best ball playing CB. Mavididi on that left hand side will play most minutes you’d assume. Bilal has a job on his hands now, as I don’t see him playing off either wing, and to play in one of the two attacking 8’s he’s going to have to put a real shift in defensively. I’d assume he’ll use Buonanotte off the left, so he’ll have to adapt to being used a little less centrally Whoever is inverting also will have huge responsibility, we bar Hamza WBA (h) and Bournemouth (A), no body has convinced besides the injured Ricardo So many questions and a lot of the squad is going to have to step up

Still after 2, can pick up in London or the Stadium

Ah. To be fair Saturday afternoon I’d have taken Cooper out and a Rudkin lifetime contract so I’m ok with it

Cooper and Rudkin in 3 days. Top’s stepped up to the spot and put it top bins

Has he gone ?

I’d rather Russell Martin and I think he’s sh** and a Kn** head

After 2, can pick up in Leicester or London

I’m more worried about our lord and saviour Mr Ayew being out. I need those 90+ limbs

Don’t think it’s his ACL with that bent knee but it still could mean a while out

Actually didn’t think we were as bad as usual when defending, thought we’d improved as a team. Stupid mistakes are still here though. Going forward though was awful and it was obvious from 5 mins in we needed more of an outlet going forward. Cooper seemed like he was playing to keep goal difference down. Shocking from Steve

Thought he was decent, not a bad game at all. We had no options going forward so there was no where he could play too. No issue here, weird reaction

Thanks mate, yeah tickets are in both of our names as it’s our season tickets. Will go early and hopefully it’s alright

No mate literally forgot the tickets

Already in Manchester but left two of our tickets at home, can I just go up to our stewards outside old Trafford and explain the situation and get in ? I have photo’s of them

Don’t understand how people are still hating on this guy. Underated and overheated. Works so unbelievably hard each game for the club, selfless player, defensively he’s top. He takes it on his chest like Zidane, carry’s It up the pitch well and doesn’t go for glory like others. I can only remember him having two shots and they’re both screamers. Second sparking the biggest limbs since Eindhoven. I love the guy. Jordan Ayew Ole Ole

Do anything to make this permanent. The way Brighton is run i do think they’d sell if we offered a good fee as he doesn’t fit their system. Another point, Coopers preference for Prem proven players was uninspiring and boring, but most have hit the ground running and look confident and we needed that. Compare that to the ‘young and hungry’ approach of the three promoted sides of last season, and the two of this. I do think Cooper has got that right. Not saying at all that that is the way to go moving forward, we need a balance, but so far it’s worked.

Just needs to get used to the speed of the league, plays things a bit to slow at the moment but the quality is there it’s obvious.

It was pure pandaemonium, doesnt get more raw than that does it. I still can’t get over it mate

I don’t care what is said, those scenes will never be taken from us. Mental

After 1 spare

Ran about but just doesn’t look sharp at all

Love him, everything we lacked when we were relegated. Was so so good today

Bournemouth are a good side, lots of pace and score goals. Much better side than us. We need a win badly and I recon Cooper will go slightly less anti football and they’ll do us 3-1. I have no hope in Cooper Ball, it’s neither here nor there, no identity, slow and static. The only patterns of play we’ve put together have been left overs from the Enzo play book. We start slow, concede too many and don’t make chances. We’ve massively over performed our XG and I don’t see how we’ll keep that up with his tactics. I’m genuinely normally so optimistic, this is the first season I’ve not had hope and here we are.

Very true, it’s similar with Chelsea also. I think it’s a northern thing, fan culture is just much bigger up there, they are more loyal I’d say as well. Even United were singing still in the second half yesterday and their club is shocking right now. You’d never get that in London. Compare Newcastles with Brightons and there’s my point. Although I know Newcastle are a far bigger club.
