They are just a train wreck. Wonder who they hire next
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.
 
Damn Spurs. Fittingly, it was between them and Nottingham Forest for my team selection. :<_<:
Yeah, but would you rather have 1 really good year near the top of the table or many years of being 5th/6th? :oldunsure:
5/6th and where every year that 1 new shiny player makes you think... THIS is the year!

Based on last year, I thought Forest was going to be relegated this year.
Chris Wood is unstoppable? Seriously?
I'm not sure how to answer either question.
 
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.
 
I'd be watching the newc vs man u game, but it's on USA. Like every other non-Fulham game I'd like to watch.
How do you not have USA? No regular/live tv?
No cable.
No cable for me but I have Hulu live tv which has USA.

You just doing apps like Peacock and Netflix? No live TV?
Yeah, just apps. And we have Hulu... I'll have to check to see if we have the Live option.

Hulu has options, a video library like Netflix, Peacock, etc and the Live TV option for broadcast shows.

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...
 
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.
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
Fun match.

I know maguire was wide open, but I'm sorry....you can't pass up that shot if you're a forward.
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.
 
Thoughts? Pretty clear second yellow there. But still a well taken goal.

KP probably freaked coworkers out again after he jumped up on his desk and danced a jig

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?
