Never seen a goalkeeper concede so many soft goals while, inexplicably, none of them apparently being his fault. Was obvious since September he isn’t good enough.

Not Chelsea and especially not Liverpool or City considering the managers they have now, but the likes of West Ham, Wolves, Arsenal and Spurs? I would be worried. They’d follow his game plan from the beginning and he wouldn’t have to adjust his tactics to compensate for a squad that cant’t/won’t...

A bit dramatic sure but nobody knows how frequently they do that. My whole point is that these guys are at the apex of the sport where the margins for error are tiny; fitness, nutrition and training could be the difference between a 1-1 and 2-1 scoreline especially towards the end of the...

That list is absolutely shocking, it’s not the food order of a squad that’s willing to sacrifice to win everything, that’s the order of a squad that ends up trophyless at the end of the season. It’s concerning that half of them couldn’t stay away from their chicken tempura, cheesecake and sticky...

38 finals, as they say. I imagine we'll have ~15-17 points by the end of those first 7.

It’s tricky. Ideal scenario is we replace Martial with Haaland next summer, but what if we could get more for Martial this month? Other clubs might low-ball us next year if they know we’re selling Martial to fund Erlin. We have Rashford, Sancho and James for the left wing and Cavani, Greenwood...

Best performance for us so far; hid from the ball less and he seemed more in sync with the team. He's shown bits of his skill all throughout the season, to me it's always seemed like his issues stemmed from not being acclimated to neither the league nor his teammates as well as confidence and...

Yeah I think it might have had to do with him being a winger for so long. Even if his crosses went out for corners, it can’t be understated that he often got to that position after receiving the ball behind the halfway line, often bullying 1 or 2 players to get into a position to cross. Just...

Professional of the highest degree. In my mind he had two great peaks with us, around 09-10 as a winger slinging crosses to Rooney and under LVG and Mourinho as a right-back. He was a bit underrated because he didn’t have a left foot and a lot of his crosses never beat the first man but man, the...

Nobody knows for sure how the environment is but going off of any training vids/pics the club shows, everyone looks like they’re having a good time (though I suppose the club wouldn’t publish pics of players looking miserable) - it looks like a lot of them are friends which is extremely...

There's so many arbitrary stats trying to paint us as would-be champions. I'm waiting for the "if we won every game we didn't win, we'd be champions!" stat. This squad is definitely capable of winning the league. On paper we have a very good attack, a decent midfield, a good defense and a...
