Most negative spin:

Got beat for most of the game against Chelsea, then counter attacked against an obviously shambolic defence. Absolute lack of quality against Crystal Palace, couldn't put a shot on target, and then same shark against Southampton with a dismal Rashford the lowlight.

Can't afford players misplacing 3 paces each all game - simply not good enough.

Most positive spin amongst the negativity to round off the weekend and before the international break:

For all our problems we're still above Chelsea. If VAR doesn't balls us and Lindelof doesn't miss two headers (against Crystal Palace and against Southampton) we're actually 10 out of the first 12 points. Christ, even the Wolves game was down to an absolute screamer.

Squad depth isn't there, we know that. We acknowledged this was a rebuilding season before we kicked off. We've moved some dead weight, still more to shift, and our new signings are actually playing well. Pogba seems to be getting himself around the park around a lot more too.

Honestly feel like we're heading down the right path this time. A few more signings to add (a true world class number 10 would be ideal) and....

With that I feel like we're almost going to get over the weird mental hurdle we have which means we can't see out games.

Pobga has not had a good game this season. Not saying he is not capable, but he had a shocker yesterday. He looks like he would rather be elsewhere.

It is rumoured  that he is not on the Utd calendar for 2020 which leaves me to believe that we will be selling him in the not too distant future.
