Two shocking penalties from Mbuemo. He was lucky the first one wasn't saved.

Pretty pathetic that Amorim wouldn't watch the pens. Hardly screams strong leader.

Or that their new £75m striker didn't want to be one of the first to take a penalty.

Having watched his interview afterwards - he's done. He is basically signposting his impending resignation or sacking.

It's an interesting to see how hard it is to turn around a large, failing organisation. Ratcliffe is now running football operations, the entire football ops team has pretty much changed. They appointed a sought after manager and have backed him in the transfer market, on paper I thought signings like Mbeumo and Cunha were good, and on paper there is plenty of quality in the squad. They played great against Arsenal but lost, and the following 2 games have shown the same old vulnerabilities. It doesn't look like they're moving forward, and would anything he surprised if they lose to Burnley on Saturday?

How do you break the cycle of mediocrity? The glaring error this summer was failing to recruit a GK, but anyone who thinks signing Donurumma on TDD (which won't happen) will fix their problems is kidding themselves.

It's also interesting to see that despite everything the lure of Man Utd remains. Sesko could have gone to Newcastle, Mbeumo could have done to Spurs but both chose Man Utd over Champions League football, at a club where many promising careers over the past decade have stalled or died. How long will this last?
