Obertan was slightly more likeable, so I will give him the edge.

Being a greedy bastard is not my view at all. Actually the opposite, he’s extremely unselfish. He’ll take a needless shot or twice a game from outside the box but, so will half your team as its poorly managed and lacks ideas offensively, that doesn’t however make him selfish. His biggest problem is that I don’t think he’s an intelligent player nor has he learnt the basics of the 11 v 11 football. He has the technique, speed, work rate to succeed but think it was Shaka Hislop that put it perfectly after the WC defeat to Croatia when he said he’s never seen a player beat his man so easily so many times and yet not actually do anything. He’ll basically dribble the opponent, get to the byline and then let the defender recover and pass it back. Needs a proper manager to coach him the basics if he ”survives” the things he’s being accused of. As for being unlikeable, there are a few non-Brazilians in your squad that are on the same level if not worse. Starting with your fraudulent manager.

Will Ten Haag ever try to coach him to actually run forward and create something. The guy has so much to his game except actually trying to go for goal. Perfect player if you’re up 2-0 and just want to keep possession as he’ll do his fullback only to run back and pass it back again. Expected so much from him after his time at Ajax, but guy looks clueless after he has beat his man. Must be frustrating as a Man U supporter.

At first yes, but to break them down Casemiro was doing more a box to box role. Basically Casemiro started the buildup play with central defenders and then ran the whole way up the pitch letting unathletic and slow as fuck Bruno dictate play in the last third of the pitch only.

Immense today next to Casemiro. Only Bolivia obviously, but clearly how he should be used. Big Jo came on and didnt look half the player Bruno is.

Was going to say. Bruno is still undroppable for this team. I think Big Joe needs to be the first one out for now, unless Willock is back soon because the Gordon would have to give place imo.

Worked fine last season, but do think he plays his best when him and Willock can change position.

Enforce a new club rule? No kids?

That wouldn’t have made him undroppable though. That would’ve moved him forward. Should’ve rephrased your initial post.

Weird take. You don’t recruit players to make your best players undroppable…

Least of our problems. Surrounded by ghosts. Has had a poor start to the season, but against City and today he’s been the least of our problems tbh. He’s not Messi where he can carry this side alone either.

Missed out on Joao Pedro.

Been excellent this season, but didn’t know we depended so much on him defensively Our defenders look comically bad.

Team feels disconnected. Burn looks shite at CB, Joao Pedro all over Schär, Trippier and Targett having to handle to good wingers. Think Bruno (seems like theres no movement around when hes on the ball) and Tonali have tried to make stuff happen, but Isak can’t put a finish away and our wingers are staying out wide offering absolutely nothing. Big Joe trying the box to box role and could’ve had a goal but otherwise looking like a ghost out there. I’d take the wingers off and try Barnes on the right and Isak left. Don’t feel we can remove a midfielder right now, but taking Big Joe off would certainly be an option as well.

Chelseas downfall will be not having gone for Neymar. Their options upfront lacks talent. There’s no x factor in that team. Their best player is roughly 100 years old, and wasn’t allowed to captain the team because Pochettino thought a crock that plays five times a season would be the perfect player to lead the team.

These refs man. Watching Real v Getafe, he’s got one big decision right, but everything else has been ridiculously bad.

Damn.

Dont think anyone should’ve gone off there. We were finally controlling the game. Those subs killed the momentum completely.

Was having another 10/10 performance and then makes that mistake and fets injured in the space of a few minutes. What a damn shame.

Regressed back to his Villa performance. Quite poor, should’ve helped the team settle and control the midfield better.

Got it wrong today unfortunately.

For me both him and Solanke should’ve been off.

Spurs look different. Sarr, Bissouma and Maddison look very good. Rich runs a lot and if he can start scoring and Son & Kulu find form they could be dangerous despite them looking suspicious in the back.

Watched him from close live at the WC against the US and was so impressed by his presence. Him (and Saka) really impressed me the way they played. 19 year old and played like a veteran. He’s just very good at everything and doesn’t really have any weaknesses.
