Tell you what - I actually feel confident under Lopetegui
Booked for a genuine attempt at winning the ball and with no threat of endangering the opponent whatsoever!Encouraging performance so far, refs a bit biased but it is Man utd so expected. How was Semedo booked but their player wasn't.
Costa offers nothing. When he came, I gave him the benefit of the doubt due to a lack of fitness, but he's had enough time to get up to speed and is slower than my gran. His timing is awry and he's not even scaring defenders. He offers nothing.
Why didn’t he book Casemiro?Excellent first-half!
We certainly don't look like relegation fodder now!
The referee seemingly arrived on the away teams coach again though!!!
They shouldn't be biased at all!Ugh playing against 12 men again where do they get these refs, if you're going to be bias at least try and hide it a little
As for us, ok but a bit stuttering but the signs are there for improvement. Just need the defenders to concentrate 100% of the time
Done well but need to make sure we don't drop off and keep 11 on the pitch
I refuse to believe a half fit Raul can be any worse than Costa. He offers us nothing. Ditto for Bouba over Moutinho as well.
Agree. That's why it's more baffling that we signed him.The presence of VAR absolutely kills the nasty side of his game that would at least make him horrible to play against.

Skys view on Costa.
Mix says he’s been poor.
I’d say somewhere down the middle tbh.
We’d be 2-0 down under Lage.

Surely he will come straight on? Only some silly disciplinary issue it seems.Only just realised Hwang is playing - what are managers seeing ?
We’re doing ok but they’ve got Rashford in the locker.
Costa has been good, in my humble opinion.I don’t think you’re actually watching what Costa does. He’s pressing and occupying defenders in a way that Raul has struggled with since his injury. At his best last season, Raul was doing something similar with no more end product than Costa. I’m not criticising Raul, but I don’t have gold tinged specs about his form since that injury, and even more so since his summer injury.
