Easy. Imagine Tranmere were backed by an oil state and were our major rivals for most domestic trophies for the 30 years when you were shit.
Unfair. Tranmere arguably better supported than City back in the day before oil money and corruption.

Is anyone else watching MNF and enjoying Thierry Henry being the sign language guy for the evening?

It's going to be a stacked bench once Tomiyasu, Zinchenko and Timber are back.

Is there any concern within the United fan base regarding the current state of the squad? It feels like there are only a handful of players you'd want to keep and build around, but then sometimes the right manager can fix that.

GK: Onana (seems to have improved a bit to be fair). I'm not sure who the number two keeper is. Heaton? Maybe ok but is Onana good enough to build a title-competing side around?
Full backs: Dalot seems to have done ok this season but Shaw is injury prone. AWB probably isn't good enough and Malacia is a question mark.
CB's: Will Varane stay? Maguire, Evans & Lindelof all probably need to go. Martinez is good but has been injury prone.
Midfield: Mainoo is very good but very young. Amrabat won't be there next season. Casemiro and Fernandes have had poor seasons. Mount might turn out to be a useful signing once he gets some fitness. Eriksen? Good enough? McTominay?
Forwards: Garnacho and Hojlund are definitely players you can build a forward line around. Rashford seems like he needs a new start? Martial and Antony probably need to go.

There's a lot of uncertainty there. It can be fixed (our squad was terrible when Klopp came in) but it does take time.
There’s massive concern, the squad’s horrendous and a lot of the supposed senior players are underperforming and need shipping out, but if you do that and it goes wrong then you could find yourself facing relegation.

I mean it's fixable and things change quickly in football, but it's concerning when you're struggling to name more than five players you're happy with keeping in the squad.

I think if there's some patience then it can work out. I actually think you're better off keeping ETH. Not sure there's anyone else available who would be able to do a better job, and you'd be starting all over again.

This could be a huge scoreline. 8 or 9 if Arsenal want it.
If I were them I would be getting the goal difference right up. Think when they play City the best thing to do is win the toss and get to kick off, at least they might see the ball for a while.

Sheffield United must be one of the worst teams I've seen in Premier League / First Division.

3-0 and that's with a hit in the bar + the followup getting blocked, and Havertz not getting his foot in on a cross where he should have. All within 15 mins.
