It's all so scary easy for City these days.

Leicester being made to look like a pub team in the first half.

Eta...it could honestly be 7 or 8 at this point, not even half time.

Maguire and Rashford look so bad.  Ronaldo is getting so pissy when the pass doesn't come.  And he's right to be most of the time.  Rashford nor Fred can play him a good ball.

To bad Jones is on the bench instead of Bailly, something i don't understand.    Get Sancho on for Rashford please.

Ralf better get a holding MF in January

He probably should bring in a new manager too...

Part of it is on the players, but they don't look like they have any idea what's going on out there.  As a manager, Rangnick looks like a good DOF.

To be fair, they have had maybe a week of actual on field training since Ralf came in.  Covid and the fixture congestion all mean they haven't been training long in his system.  They also had to shut down for the last 2 weeks.  Sure they should be better, but some of it is circumstance.

Did the ref also book the ghost that touched Wilson?  I mean how do you call a foul when no one is around him?

 
Cavani and Sancho on for Greenwood and Fred.

Ok with Fred coming off, and I knew Greenwood would be off despite playing better than Rashford

And Cavani flubs a sitter....

 
So Sancho kinda stinks, right?

Can't believe they chased this kid for 3 years. Doesn't seem to ever make anything happen. 

Now watch him score the winner

Damn Rashford has been bad.  Again.

Its 1-1 so lets have Maguire slow the game down.  Then bring in Matic to help Maguire slow the game down.

STOP PLAYING LIKE YOU ARE UP 3-0 AND GO GET THE WINNER.

Ronaldo's left foot misses.  Frasier then collides with his right foot, and maybe his hip.  

At least that's how it looks when I pause and go frame by frame...

Yeah, I think you need to take those homer glasses off. There is no chance he flips that fast and that significantly hitting a foot. Just watch Fraser's body. That's impossible without significant contact.

I could be wrong but its not his swinging foot that gets him.  And they do collide, sure.

But regardless, I am sure we can all agree that Harry Maguire sucks.  And has since he returned from injury vs Leicester.  At some point someone has to see it and say, lets try Varane and Bailly out there.

Definitely. He's no Fellaini ;)

 
LFC looked tired...some big misses. But full credit to LC- huge win for them after getting run off the field vs MC, and coming in with so many injuries. all guts.

 
The end of an ERA...

Today’s Man United-Burnley match is the last Premier League match ever on NBCSN. Tomorrow the network signs off at 11:59 PT.

NBC will continue to broadcast EPL games on USA Network, and streaming on Peacock.

 
1 - Aaron Lennon has scored his first Premier League goal against Manchester United in his 23rd appearance against them, with tonight coming 18 years and 73 days since his first game against them in October 2003 for Leeds United, when he was only 16. Awaited.

Lot of factoids in one tweet!

 
Didn't get to see the game.  Might go watch. 

Things I have heard:
A better start than previous games.
Matic and Maguire poor for the goal (what a surprise)

Really was hoping Bailly and Varane would get the start.  Glad to see Bailly did.  At some point Maguire needs to be sat.  He has been crap since LCFC.

Glad to see Rashford was sat and Greenwood and Sancho played.

Confused as to why even when Bruno is suspended VdB can't get a start?

I wouldn't put it on them.

there was a break, Lennon found a seam and attacked it at pace (more than either of them)... but was forced into taking a shot with two guys between him and the goal. not sure if it was either of them, but I didn't see anybody look "poor" defensively on that. they forced a speedy guy on the break to take a shot rather than attack the goal- he just took it really well back across the goal and through legs (IIRC).

They looked decent in the first half and then lost the plot in the second. Quality like Sons usually rises to the occasion.

See, I don't even think they looked good in the first half.  A lot of possession - but Watford were giving them that.  Spurs did nothing with that possession.

 
I'm surprised how good Matip has looked lately. I'm sure they have cover for him, but he and Alisson in particular are big losses. at least they won't have to deal with Lukaku.

He's been great since he came to Liverpool, but has had consistent health issues.  Signed on a free too -- one of the best signings under FSG.

 
Chelsea with great energy (that's been lacking) these first 5 minutes.

lol... and yet, Liverpool can break just like that.

CP... c'mon, man!

 
lol... I was going to say Chelsea looks like they've remembered how to control the MF with Kante back in there.

and just like that, it's 0-2.
