Luton were very organised at OT and we were reduced to scraps. The mighty Lindelof scoring from a corner won us the game. It's going to be tight and I'd settle for 1-0 off Maguire's arse

A few more injuries - DDG, Young, Mata. Draw Norwich Lose on Pens to Wolves Turn Sky on 4.25 a week on Sunday to see Phil Jones leading the team out at Anfield.....................

The business side of the club has been a success since he took over in 2013. However, it is intrinsically linked to success on the pitch (our revenue will go down this year as we're not in UCL). The club has failed on the pitch since 2013 and as CEO he has to take some responsibility. Moyes was...

Suppose the Glazers wanted out. The only realistic buyers would be fossil-fuel extractors like the Saudis. No-one else could afford it. Is the recruitment process being conducted by Woodward? For sure the board would have to authorise the expenditure but I can't believe he picks the players. He...

Woodward is a Chartered Accountant and effective CEO. He shouldn't really have a big say in managerial appointments - if he has had then that's where it's gone wrong. SAF effectively appointed Moyes and we've been reacting ever since. Leave Woodward to the business stuff - which clearly he's...

no-one wants American owners - especially not types like the Glazer family. However, since Fergy left we've a net spend of £549m (Liverpool = £152m but they got lucky with Coutinho) and the signings have been awful. Only DDG a real success (and he's going down the pan). RVP won us a league but...

I agree with most of what you say. He's the best shot-stopper I've seen but he's hopeless with crosses (and also coming out 1 v 1). Nevertheless he's been good enough until the league game at Arsenal last season. The end of the season for him was a disaster, errors all over the place. Witout...

Lingard has had a few good games, scored some memorable goals, picked up some decent wedge but didn't cost us anything. To be honest I never think about him. He's never in my team picks or on the bench. He's a good athlete and scores a worldy every 30 games (probably more these days) but he...

Good post. I read an analysis of our goals conceded this season and a huge no were due to errors (eg Tuanzebe v Arsenal). We have defended better (stats may disprove this) as DDG has pulled off far fewer saves than he normally does. We've not had many clean sheets but I think the defence is ok -...

I supported the choice of Moyes but would've preferred Jose. I thought it would be a 3 or 4 with job with Moyes abd we'd eventually do well. I was wrong, he ws way out of his depth. A British manager from a smaller club was ok in 1986 but not in 2013. I had high hopes with LvG. The problem was...

I think he's done well for us. Played every minute of every Prem game (I think). No obvious howlers, decent passer, calm influence. Is he worth £80m? Probably not but our best CB. IMO his deliberations on the ball are due to lack of movement ahead. Matic and Fred are really stoppers, no desire...

I'd take £60m plus Kroos. Use the 60 to get a talented 10 in ASAP

He certainly splits opinion! Everything has been said about the fella. It's time for action. By Jan 31 he's either gone or he's turned in a few really good performances for us. Anything else then it's a management failure.

He can play at 9 or 11. short-passing not good enough for 10. He's got great close control and was the best finisher at the club (now been over-taken by Rashford and Greenwood). Too inconsistent to be part of a title-threatening first team. He needs to be fearful of his place. Greenwood and...

If a player is so bad no other club will pay a fee then you let his contract run down and get rid. If you think someone would pay a fee then you offer a new (short) contract at the appropriate wage level. There used to be a policy of offering a year at a time if > 30. Not a bad idea. The problem...
