Can't sack Amorim. Was dumb of United to push to sign him now instead of wait until summer as he wanted. I'm just hoping this shows how poor this team really is. Trophies make teams look better than they are. I am almost wanting them to finish in the bottom half (not relegated of course) and perform a true rebuild. Sell as many as they can. Build around Yoro, De Ligt, Maz, Ugarte, Mainoo, Amad, Hojlund, Give Collyer and some academy kids a chance.

I'm not sure how to answer either question.Chris Wood is unstoppable? Seriously?5/6th and where every year that 1 new shiny player makes you think... THIS is the year!Yeah, but would you rather have 1 really good year near the top of the table or many years of being 5th/6th?Damn Spurs. Fittingly, it was between them and Nottingham Forest for my team selection.
Based on last year, I thought Forest was going to be relegated this year.

Not sure what Isak was complaining about, he was at least 5 years offside on that.

Hojlund you need to bury that!
McBokonon

Yeah, the Mags let off there. Tonali should have made it three on the other end.

Bloody hell this game should be 3-2 right now.
McBokonon

Yep, maybe 4 - Isak kind of fluffed that 1v1 he had when he gently placed the ball into Onana's hands.

How do you not have USA? No regular/live tv?
El Floppo
Footballguy
No cable.
B Maverick
Footballguy
No cable for me but I have Hulu live tv which has USA.
You just doing apps like Peacock and Netflix? No live TV?
B Maverick
Footballguy
Don't worry, no one at united knows how to score.

I’m in the same boat with no cable. Peacock does make replays available of the USA/NBC games about an hour after they end. I use that for rare occasions when an Ipswich game is featured.
El Floppo
Footballguy
Yeah, just apps. And we have Hulu... I'll have to check to see if we have the Live option.
B Maverick
Footballguy
Hulu has options, a video library like Netflix, Peacock, etc and the Live TV option for broadcast shows.
El Floppo
Footballguy
I'm not seeing any live option yet. USA is just stuff on demand, not live.
Could it be we have the low tier Hulu and Live is a higher pay tier?
I'm still looking...
B Maverick
Footballguy
I am going to say yes. Live TV is a higher tier.

Manchester United is terrible. They need a major clearout of players.

Bruno is the only guy I see consistently doing good things. Garnacho needs seasoning, but I like him to be a fantastic player. Otherwise... I could even tell you who else plays for them.

Ruben Interim is a good nickname I've just seen

Bruno makes this team go, but also has a couple easy giveaways leading to chances the other way. At 29 and not really Captain material he might not last much longer.
I want to agree on Garnacho, but he isn't developing. He is not clinical in front of goal and he constantly dribbles into the defender for an easy take away. He doesn't fit the formation. He is a less clinical Rashford (who has developed the same dribble until you lose it mentality). Neither show much creativity and ability to serve, only head down and shoot.
Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Yoro, De Light and Maz should be who you build around.
Hojlund, Martinez get a chance (would like to see Hojlund play with players that will serve a 9).
Heck, maybe move Mainoo up to the 10 with Amad and see if Collyer can pair with Ugarte. Collyer impressed in the preseason.
Sadly they do not have any true wingbacks although Maz and Amad have had some success there.

Huge win for the Tractor Boys. Looks like we caught Chelsea at the exact right time, not a good run for them right now.

If you listen to podcasts at all, one of my favorite new ones is The Fighting **** (other name for rooster) . They always have me laughing.He chose..... poorly.Damn Spurs. Fittingly, it was between them and Nottingham Forest for my team selection.

I know there are no games today, just getting a jump on Sunday's upcoming debacle at Anfield.
Liverpool and Michael Oliver host United in a game that was already going to be bad enough without the worst ref in the EPL making it worse.

Valencia deserve to be relegated after being up and goal and a man and giving up 2 goals in the last 20 minutes. Just soooooooo poor.

In related news, Vini really is such an unlikable *****.

Trent Alexander-Arnold might as well be apartment hunting in Madrid today. He's been truly awful. When he's not giving the ball away and misplaying passes straight out he's letting players run through and past him like he's not there.
Dinsy Ejotuz
Footballguy
And twice more since I posted that. No idea who the 4th string RB is with Bradley and Gomez out, but I'd yank him. He's a tourist today.
Dinsy Ejotuz

I'm all for incidental hand balls being waved off, but that has to be called. Arm is above his head and the ball is heading toward goal. Bang-bang shouldn't matter.

Nunez lucky to avoid red there IMO. He lined DeL up and then lit him up with the shoulder. Surprised VAR waved it off so quickly.
TAA continues to piss off all right-thinking Liverpool supporters. Unreal how terrible he's been. Van Dijk looks ready to fight him.
ETA: Alexander Arnold off, Bradley(!) on. About time.

Do it. It’s totally worth it.

Moral Victory. Hopefully they take that intensity into every game. Martinez, Ugarte we tremendous. Bruno played well. Maguire played solid which is good for him.
Handball was probably the right call on De Ligt although the header was very close to him. Seen it called both ways.
Still waiting for the replay on the potential handball by Liverpool that everyone yelled for but the broadcast didn't replay and VAR didn't look at.
Michael Oliver was actually fine. Aside from the bad call on the Maguire foul and yellow at the top of the box, and perhaps minor gripes about a lack of bookings for Liverpool for tactical fouls, no major issues from him. Surprised they didn't look more at Nunez possible red but he was booked.
Maguire could have gone from hated to club legend scoring at the death. Too bad.

No that was the correct ball from Zirkzee. Could have played a smoother pass without the baby bounces though. Tough for most forwards to control their shot let alone a defender, but still should have hit the target.

Main thought was the ref being miced up for the VAR call was utterly pointless. If you're not going to do it in timely fashion and/or go full McCauley for content then don't bother

No comment. I was watching the match on delay, paused it to make my daughter dinner, then the game was gone from Prime when i got back. Do they yank them that quick after a match finishes?
