Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Yes 6! Sterling deserved that he's been great today.

We need to go the Liverpool route, IMO.

4-2-3-1 with Sancho/Kane/Sterling and Alli the most advanced midfielder, then just two workhorses behind them doing the basics and keeping it simple with the job being just to provide it to the front 4.
That's not the Liverpool route at all. They tend to have Salah and Mane as the wide forwards with Firminho as the creative outlet in the middle. Sancho couldn't do what Salah and Mane do right now. And unless Lallana plays which is rare they don't tend to have an advanced midfield option either.

That would work as it plays to Kane's strengths. But it's finding that quality in the midfield area that seems to be the problem. I can't think of a single England midfielder of any real worth.

The omission of Rashford from your list stung a bit, I'm not going to lie.

Looks like it is Arsenal our number one threat. Yes.
They always were. Arsenal's fixtures are by far the easiest, Chelsea before today was by far the hardest (not sure now, but still probably harder than ours).

Annoying that Sarri will probably go now and Chelsea usually pick up for half a year when a new boss comes in

I mean in terms of their central midfielders not being particularly creative, last season in particular they mostly offered work rate/simple play rather than anything spectacular coming from the centre.

Of course we wouldn't play exactly the same way as Liverpool, we have different players to them.

Silva's wig/hair transplant is top notch.
Doesn't look like a wig to me. He definitely undergo hair transplant and it has to be one of the BEST hair transplant results I've seen. Top notch. I'm thinking of going for one as well as my hair has been thinning a lot but worried about the implication and cost, and everytime I think of a hair transplant, Rooney's results didn't exactly give me confidence. Seeing Silva's results seems very assuring, need to find out the name of the doctor he went to.

LVG is definitely flawed but the point is comparing him to Sarry, there's no comparison really, and Sarri is younger than LVG by 7 years, so he's not actualy "modern-day" manager.
I had no idea Sarri was that old.

Fair play :lol:

Losing was expected but this is a nice confidence big confidence battering they're getting.
