Sandro man.

Big Joe ya donkey.

Tonali has been class.

Would give my left nut for a Sandro goal.

Could have been any score this.

I know, I was kind of joking.

Still think we aren't out of second gear mind. Leicester are honking.

Murphy has been shite and has scored 2.

If this ain't the game for big willy.

I know it's not what people will want but a great chance to rest a couple for midweek.

Murphy should have had 4.

Chronic defending.

This is all too comfortable. Really want to dick them.

Dat set piece x2

Bruno should have been sent off. But then so should Caicedo the other week.

Dat set piece.

These have a shite team. We have a decent one. PL games are never easy. Just win, keep a clean sheet if possible please. Nowt silly.

He's not starting because despite his goals/assist contributions, he's not as good a player as Gordon. Neither he or Gordon are right wingers. It's a problem and I'd totally understand Barnes wanting to leave.

This is the same line up that played well against Liverpool (Pope aside). Play Sandro DM and let Bruno find Isak.

OK

Craig Hope's YouTube content is normally faily accurate, or at least I find myself agreeing with him, when I do watch it. Ultimately he's a hack. His job is to get people buying his paper or clicking his articles, which means he's always going to be edging toward sensationalism. Whether he writes his articles positive or negative or whether he does them on the morning of the match or not, it won't (or shouldnt) have any baring on the performance/result. It's up to the players to perform but yes journalists are selfish pricks, what's new?

Sorry. I was half asleep writing that list. I knew I'd missed some. Vlad = Less said the better Kelly = Failure so far, I suspect he will come good to a degree. He was also a free transfer. Barnes = Success. Failure in strategy perhaps.

Burn 12m = Success Targett 15m? = Failure Wood 25m = Failure (getting 17m back made it pretty decent) Pope 12m = Success Gordon 45m = Success Hall 35m = Success Tino 35m = Success Osula 10m = TBC Not a bad hit rate though, especially when you consider that if we sold our England trio, we'd likely recoup conservatively 150m, probably more. While on the other hand we've got a 55m Italian who's got the biggest question mark over his future on the "foreign signings" list. I'm not disputing the need to cast our net wider though, I'm just trying to play devils advocate.

I also don't get anywhere near the enjoyment from this, knowing how shite we've been recently.

Reading between the lines, there's been a major fall out, which shocks me given how much of a nice guy Ratcliffe is and what a loyal person Ashworth is. Man United are now ran by a dictatorship, who will effectively make all of the decisions for the club. This won't go well.
