How is Fernandes still on the pitch?

 

Absolutely yes. Our best midfield by far is McTominay and Fred. Pogba is a total liability playing in a midfield two (for us anyway).

 

Total liability in general this season.

 

Everton have zero end product today. Maguire has been good though, Bruno should have gotten a second yellow a long time ago.

 

How on earth did Bruno not get sent off??

 

Totally. Honestly, after 4 years or however long it's been, United need to admit the Pogba experiment has failed. Cut our losses and get something back for him while we can. Aside from probably 10 games (and that's being generous), his entire time here has been a disappointment. Part of that is us not playing to his strengths, but he's underwhelmed for most of the rest of the time.

 

Cavani! How have we won this

 

Yeah disappointment is a good way to put it. Because overall he’s been good, sometimes spectacular, sometimes utterly atrocious. But for the money we paid there are far too many times where he’s the worst player on the pitch and just being “good” the rest of the time isn’t good enough.

 

Very happy United won. Should keep them being shit for a little while longer.

Ole Gunnar solskjaer, we want you to say.

 

Barcelona are 1-0 up at Betis but Griezmann missed a penalty and is having a shocker.

 

var is a plague

 

Lmao holy shit

 

English officials are terrible. Ref missed a clear penalty to Ipswich, then let a Portsmouth off from a yellow (probably red) with a reckless challenge.

 

That Bamford goal being ruled out is abhorrent.

Mostly because he's in my FPL team.

 

Holy shit a player on the line blocked a shot with his arm (not intentionally) and these fucking commentators La Liga TV are saying it isn't necessarily a penalty.

If this isn't given, it's fucking insane. If his arm isn't there, it's a goal.

 

Penalty given, alongside a straight red. The red is harsh because it wasn't intentional, but the fact they were even debating it is mad.

 

Portsmouth just scored an offside goal in extra time. Amazing officiating again.

 

Ziyech fitting in at Chelsea like a glove. If he stays fit I can see him getting 12-15 assists this season.

 

laughed out loud

 

Jude Bellingham has big Chelsea energy smh

 

Great game between Dortmund and Bayern and glad we won. But that Kimmich injury looked serious, hope it really isn't that bad. I know I am biased with this one but right now I think there is no better midfielder than him.

 

Watched Atletico win 4-0 earlier at the early surprise team in La Liga, Cadiz. They are so clinical and the Joao Felix & Suarex partnership is so good.

I genuinely think they could be title contenders this year.

 

Interesting to see Cahill point out Maguire's push on Pickford. Honestly didn't notice that but makes sense as to why it wasn't a penalty now.

 

My word... This is painful.

 

I’ve no issue with the Maguire’s thing not being a penalty, but not one of Pickford, Keane, or Coleman getting booked during that was madness.
