so annoyed as I get CBS all access and it #### the bed here on my pc and didn't get to see the 2nd half.  My family watches other stuff on it, but still, annoyed.

NFW am I ever paying for Peacock, they can suck it.  I'll stream games I want to instead of paying for premier league games.

ESPN+ is the nuts.  This weekend I watched I believe 7 or 8 different leagues.  Fantastic product.

:scared: i'm paying for peacock too.  And might for espn+.  I have a problem and am part of the problem

 
Overall a great effort today.  Tuanzbee looked the part in the back.  AWB found his pace and tackling again.  McT and Fred played hard, covered a lot ground and made it hard for Neymar and Mbappe.  Lindelof even looked solid in the back 3.

Need this intensity and work rate to continue with Chelsea, Lepzig and Arsenal up next...

 
I know it’s not necessary legal but iptv at 9.99 a month completely worth it to get all the sports even if the quality isn’t always perfect. 

 
93rd minute equalizer taken away after review!

VAR got it right this time - the only surprise being how the goal was ever allowed in the first place with Vincius standing well offside, directly blocking the GK's view and undoubtedly influencing play.

This is possibly my biggest issue with Ole right now.  He’s doing some good things in Europe and making some ok tactical decisions but he can’t seem to get the side ready to come out and dominate from the start against bottom half EPL sides.  Too often they sleep walk through a first half and either come back or drop points.  I do like that he’s not having Pogba as an auto start - dudes attitude and work rate are crap frequently.

Agreed.  But this was something that started pre Ole too, he has just been unable to fix it.  Teams know if you sit back and let United have the ball they struggle.  Bruno has helped but still needs to get better.  They need to show the intensity/urgency for a full 90 every game.

One thing I noticed yesterday vs most games was how quickly the backs moved the ball, whether it be passing or dribbling.  For all his faults, one thing Lindelof does better then McGuire is pass quickly and dribble with pace.  McGuire does both slowly.  When United passes around the back with McGuire its so slow, the other team can get back into shape and organize their press easier.  Lindelof and Tuanz moved the ball quickly and got it forward with pace so PSG could not organize on def.  

No one should be an auto start on a team like United.  Competition for all spots.    

 
So a guy I know wants to try his hand at gambling on English football - Premier League, Champions, Championship.

Can you recommend some websites or resources with information regarding this? Someplace with news and wagering discussion.

Are there any expert tipsters on Twitter to follow?  Thanks

Always bet on QPR

 
Really quite boring ManU vs. Chelsea game.  Was expecting to see some amazing attacking players, but was left watching two teams too scared to get out of defensive position to try anything.  

No idea how Maguire's tackle on Azpi in the box wasn't a penalty though.  It would've been had it been the other way around for sure.

Just saw the replay of that. Insane. What's the point of VAR if they can't get those things right.

And Liverpool with yet another horrible VAR ruling, especially in light of what they didn't call against United. Just nonsense.

Huh - I’m very critical of United but I thought today was a fairly entertaining nil-nil.  I didn’t think either team played defensive but it was a total midfield battle.  If Rashford had put his chance away you may have seen a few more goals total.  But again, I think both sides kind of went for it.  Just couldn’t convert.

Maguire does that like once a match.  Completely deserves to be called for it.

 
Tor needs to wave the White Flag. 5-0 Union Santos with the Hatrick and Kai Wagner is having himself a night in the helper column. We got 17 mins left in this and the Union haven't taken the foot off the gas pedal 

 
YOUR Phoenix Rising just beat El Paso in penalties to go to the USL Championship Final. Earlier this week, the Rising voluntarily gave up what would have been home field for that game since they got three points when the San Diego Landons forfeit. I think the Rising have responded to that incident as best as they could have.

On to Florida. Bring it, Rowdies.

Should of been a PK, reports are VAR looked and said "The guy has been through enough lately, we'll let this slide"

It seems "boring" is mostly how I've heard it described.  I was more frustrated with United then board.  Chelsea didn't seem to threaten, United only had a couple threats.

James was absolutely useless.

Shaw good defensively, poor going forward.  He constantly dribbles into trouble or puts his forward into trouble.  He needs to release the ball earlier and then continue his run.

McT had an up and down game.  

Mata is still a good player and can add to the team, but when hes on the right, he often gets the team out of balance with his runs, he is a center of the pitch guy.  

Mendy had a great game.  Rashford should have had 2 goals.

Cavani is going to be valuable to United.  Almost scored on his first touch, his movement and instincts are still great. He gives them something different and is an upgrade on Ighalo.  If Rashford, Martial and Greenwood can learn from him, they can  become complete strikers. 

 
**Official Day after matchday day thread**

Fwiw, I didn't find it boring- I thought both teams set out with an emphasis defensively tactically to deny the other teams threat. McG was a beast reading the movement of chels attacking players and getting to the ball and space first, and the back line was set at just the right depth to limit the space for those players to run at and into. Fred and McT did a solid job shutting the passing lanes down. Chels controlled the MF and possession but didn't really threaten. United was limited to hopeful counters, which were the most dangerous moments of the game. Interesting tactical battle, imo, that looked more likely for united to win.

I agree with this.  The issues for United was in the chances to counter.  McT and AWB had poor days with their passing.  Not sure if the soaked pitch was a problem but they couldn't seem to pace with any distance.  Even Mata's pass to put Rashford in was slightly behind where Mata normally perfectly weighs that pass.  

Its going to be interesting how Ole moves forward with these games and their formations.  Is Pogba now a super sub with Fred/McT as the 1st choice pivot?  When Bruno needs a game is it Pogba or VdB that goes in?  Against "lesser" teams will we see VdB and Bruno together and who holds?

Tuanzbee and Dean Henderson get any games?

On the plus side, does this mean the depth question from the end of last year is resolved?  For now anyway?

 
Oh Zlatan!

Scores 2 to make it 3-2 Milan, then defending a corner he goes for the karate side kick to clear and ends up flicking it to the back post for Kumbulia to level the score.

 
Glad to see VdB get a start for United, but not sure the formation.

4-4-2 diamond and no width?

                     De Gea
AWB Lindelof  McGuire Shaw
                    Matic
         Fred                Pogba
                    VDB
      Greenwood Martial
