What do you actually get from posting on here? I genuinely don't get it.
Interestingly, having been a member here since 2008, I have had a lot more of this sort of feedback in recent months.

I can't remember when salah had a great game.
If it wasn't for Mane and VVD they would have lost a number of points.
:confused:
Salah is easily their best player. Comprehensively world class. VVD is there about. Mane is the tier below.

Forgot that we played Spurs next. I was happy with them losing against SU as I expect Spurs to finish above them in the table but didn't realise it was before we played them. Can't see them losing 2 in a row and we've played rubbish against them in recent seasons. Last time we beat them was in 2012.

If you'd told me 10 years ago (or even 5 years ago) that we'd be watching Mourinho's Tottenham play Ancelotti's Everton in 2020, then I would've found the idea ridiculous.

Very weird.

10 years ago we had Redknapp and Moyes.

Mourinho was leading Inter to a treble and Ancelotti leading Chelsea to the double.

:lol:

True! Not sure if that's a testament to the quality of Premier League, or a reflection of the regression of the two men's careers. Probably the latter.

What's up with Sessegnon not even making the bench? Injured or simply not deemed good enough?

Is it me or have Sky had way more games than anyone else for some reason?
Presumably it's still proportionate to what each broadcaster originally paid for the rights.

Sky bought 5 packages of games, BT bought one package etc.

Ancelotti looking like he’s giving Spurs no respect with that lineup..

I don’t like Dier as a centre back he backs off too much nearly be’s on top of the keeper not a centre back..

We all love United
What did Ndombele do to get frozen out of the team? He’s surely their best midfielder now that Alli is out?

Learning the hard way, test of character, making him mentally strong and all that.

Yeah crazy! I don't think Ancelotti's really fallen from grace like Mourinho has though.

I think Mourinho's fallen down the ladder a bit. Ancelotti not so much.
I know, right? And that neither would win the European Cup again either...

Mental.
Christ it's been 10 years since Mourinho lifted the Champions League trophy. Ancelotti lifted it in 2014 which isn't that long ago but still.

Ancelloti has been great so far but i still feel like we could take a beating in any game due to how poor our midfield is. We need at least two in the summer and to hope that Gbamin can stay injury free this time.

Yeah, apart from the thumping vs Chelsea we have done very well under him.

Carlo did not look comfortable taking the knee

EDIT; Because he's getting on, I don't suspect he's an ALM kinda guy

I was referring to the five year part of your statement re: Ancelotti. There’s no way you’d have said in 2014 that he wouldn’t compete in a final again, never mind not win one. His stock is still high, too.

It’s more of a testament to the financial might of the Premier League that he’s managing an also-ran, for want of a better phrase, like Everton rather than him being a busted flush.

Yeah true. Hard to believe he was managing AC Milan to CL finals as far back as 15 years ago. Seems like he's been around forever. Still looks the same age though.

I agree, but am always surprised when I discover Everton have one of the highest wage bills.

Anyway, Gary Neville on a Mourinho match, sounding quietly withering already re energy.

There's only one United!

I beg to disagree.
Mane won them a number of games whilst Salah was off form for quite some time.

Proves how bloody good Gueye was too. I miss that man.
