the away fans signing to van Nistelrooy. perhaps calling for van Nistelrooy? don't want it for him personally
14th place Worst ever start to a season. Does this truly matter? Every year is the worst start a season. Next useless stat. Some team getting their first win at OT. At this point,you should be used to it. Talk about something that actually matters.
Once Rashy was off, it seemed unlikely we would grab a goal. I saw some fight and effort, but we need a top signing up front to score. Zirkzee and Rasmus have good futures, but not enough of a goal threat.
The worse stat is our goal count. Only Saints have fewer in EPL. Chris Wood at Nottingham has scored almost as many goals as we have.
Pretty much sums it up. Not a performance or scoreline (particularly given oppo injuries) that gives much ammunition to EtH out or EtH in crowds. For most of us whatever, just another fairly uninspired joyless waste of time.

Actually looked to be our hardest working and most dynamic player. The old geezer putting the rest to shame ...

He even ran up to a CF position at one point, furthest player we had up the park lol. Showed Pau Torres a thing or two after he was trying to get under Onana's skin during a corner. He was immense.
