Glad to see this finally confirmed, says it all about Gordon, who’s one of the most ‘me, me, me’ players we’ve had in some time. I am surprised Howe is willing to put up with it, but he’s managing the situation the way he deems fit and it’s hard to argue with that. Hopefully another nail in Gordon’s coffin, because, as others have said, he won’t be that hard to replace.

Beardo’s definitely next, aye.

Proper toxic at Old Trafford these days. A good man like Amorim is better off out of there.

Someone’s due a humping at SJP.

Just watching this on Sky now, even Carragher is saying it’s off. VAR is fucking hopeless.

He started brilliantly, aye.

Thought the referee was largely good today, which is rare.

Hall was fairly below today, yeah, it’s par for the course for Tonali, unfortunately. He did ping two amazing passes first half and was defensively top, though.

Murphy was honking, mind, struggling to think of much else to moan about. Gordon, again, maybe?

Getting players back, sitting two points off fifth and still fighting on four fronts. If we can get at least one signing of note in this could still turn out to be yet another class season.

He was class today as well.

7 goals in the league already. Some of those passes today an’ all were superb. Legend.

His best performance yet? Unreal.

What a fucking player. 10/10 again.

When he plays well, we play well. Top drawer again. Proper talisman.

Howay the bloody lads!

Thiaw has already been better than Botman at his peak, for me, although it’s early days.

Schar’s definitely on the decline, but he’s almost always fit and available. There’s still a strong argument that him and Burn is our best overall partnership based on results, clean sheets, etc. Putting aside individual quality. Thiaw’s obviously been head and shoulders above the others.

We can’t afford to carry crocks, which is what he is, no matter how good they are on the rare occasions they’re able to play game after game. He won’t be hard to replace with someone more reliable and of similar quality.

He’s not really been near the levels of his first season aside from a few games, let’s be honest. He gets an insane amount of leeway on here compared to others.

Joan Garcia for Barca last night was something else. A keeper signing of that ilk, please and thank you.
