So selection decision. Assume Gareth will play the same back four? DMs - does Henderson need to start to help us progress the ball better to provide central link between defence and attack. I think versus Italian press we need players who want the ball centrally. As for up front has Mount done...

Can we at least agree that the ESL proposal has made all fans of whatever club in England realise that the fans and even the players and staff within the top clubs are simply a commodity to the owners of those clubs that wanted to join? The ESL is not going away. Something similar will resurface...

North American sports have a franchise basis yes but they also have the draft to balance it out. So the worst teams get the best players coming our of College/players from other countries. There is no balance in this new proposal and on top of it affects every other club and fan in our sport. It...

The need a player who has three key attributes - physically able to compete and dominate oppositions attacking midfielders, intelligent in their ability to read passes and in doing so help screen our centre backs and thirdly (just as importantly) has decent quick feet and able to ratting he ball...

Thoughts please? Ryan (Nyland) TAA, Robertson, Walker-Peters (Branthwaite) (Ferguson) Auba, Salah, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Son Werner, Mitovic, (Davis)

Excellent job by Ole today. Correct tactical set up. Decent pressing. Limited Liverpool. Have more possession than most anticipated. Issue is that we lack quality in final third today. Can her take risk and put Greenwood on which might lead to less defensively as pressing from front has been...

I cannot believe so called Utd fans who do not realise that we are rebuilding after a sustained period of poor transfer windows. Teams that are successful and win the Premier League have a rough average age of 26/27 years old. Even the great "young teams" that Utd had in the Fergie era had this...

Never gave anything less than his best. Home fans always appreciated his effort and attitude. It was not his fault he was signed to Utd by staff/managers who simply did not get what Utd is all about! Good luck big man!

For those of you that think that a team in the modern era can simply go out and "impose it's will" on the opposition...you need to understand that football has changed - especially in the Premier Leagues for good. Every team carries some kind of threat. Players need to be able to adapt...
