Have always loved JJ, but he’s struggling. Shouldn’t be playing at the moment.

Wasn’t expecting much from him. ….yet I’ve still been surprised at how little he offers. Literally doesn’t do anything well, it’s comical.

At this rate staying up would be more of a miracle than 15/16!

United aren’t even very good. Our first 11 is mid-table Championship standard.

Arsenal gave us one of the biggest batterings I've ever seen in the PL! Didn't they set a record for shots or shots on target!? It was brutal.

Been a joke since the day we signed him. Just utter rubbish.

Thought we looked decent first half and probably deserved to be level. Second half though, wow. Showed how far behind them we are. Wout Faes and Justin aren’t PL players though, I don’t care what anyone says. Faes especially - Can’t wait for the day he leaves.

We look a decent team - First time I’ve said that this season! They do as well to be fair to them. Been a good game.

If we're playing this system, we probably need new wing backs. Left side especially as VK stands out as a weak link to me. I'd rather we didn't sign anyone in Jan though, as (hopefully) Cooper isn't going to be here long term. We don't want players for his system, or even worse - Players he asks for.

Clearly got that touch of class - Love watching players like him. Does need to affect the game a bit more, but that will come with experience and confidence. Young, new country and playing in a team that's really struggling performance wise at the moment so it's not easy at all, but we have a player on our hands I reckon.

They beat us twice last time we were both in the PL. ...but we beat them twice last year. Not sure what to expect on Saturday to be honest! Draw if I had to bet.

I don't think he does anything particularly well to be honest. He plays as a wingback yet offers absolutely nothing going forward - In fact, he often hinders us by occupying the same spaces as Mavididi. I don't know what you mean by - 'He hasn't let us down this season' either - Yeah his application is good, but that should be a bare minimum really.

Love his application, and he's young so definitely not going to write him off. ...but I don't think he's good enough yet. Offers very little to the team overall. If Cooper is insistent on playing this system, he should look for a new left back in Jan - Even if just a loan.

This. The praise in here for his performance today is absolutely baffling. Just a waste of a position.

Genuinely had me thinking during the game - ‘Is he really a professional footballer’. He has to get better surely, he can’t be this bad!

Yeah, I like him. Getting better every game.

Miserable performance again. Very happy Edouard is only on loan, he is awful. Ayew and BDCR getting game time is a joke as well - Those two signings are almost as bad as Cooper. Utter dogshit. Aside from that though - Great 3 points, onwards and upwards!

We are just embarrassingly bad at the moment. Barring a significant improvement over the next few games, the board need to act.

We'd definitely be better under Maresca, but a lot would have depended on his Summer recruitment to be fair. We lost 11 games last year - With a lot of the same squad and poor recruitment, we'd have struggled massively, even with Enzo. With Cooper we are in for more than a struggle...we'll be cut adrift pretty early I reckon.

We’ll draw or lose, obviously.

One of the few times we got into a good position yesterday and his first touch was like a pass

I’ve had a think. If it’s not as bad as the 22-23 season, it’s pretty close! Performance wise it might even be worse…

He’s brilliant. Has been since we signed him.

Agreed, unfortunately.

We had a period of 10 years in the league and genuinely progressed as a club in that time though, so it’s slightly different. We should have moved away from the yo-yo club of old. It’s completely fair for fans to adjust their expectations and aim a little higher. I would have been annoyed about these performances 20 years ago though, what we’ve done in recent years has no bearing on that for me - It’s been absolutely awful.
