This man Anthony Gordon!

Alexander the great.

Longstaff is so poor against this level of competition. So easy to press. Just cannot handle it.
-
What the hell is that? That's obstruction.
-
You see Almiron play it first time with his right like that and creating such a good chance, and you have to wonder how much more of a threat we would be if he did that more often.
-
Not sure I agree with the flag going up, because the linesman might be wrong.
If play then stops the chance of scoring goes and cannot be overturned by VAR.

I didn’t say that though, you know that too but want to continue with the contrary opinion rather than admitting that having the ability to attract and sign better players plays an important part in the long term success of a football club.We already are attracting and signing better players and will continue to do so, because these players can be found at all levels. Just depends on how good the club is at recruitment and our bunch certainly seem to know what they're doing.

I am not saying the right manager isn’t important; however, having more money so that you can sign better players by paying bigger wages also plays a pretty big part in the equation.There's too much information available about too many players now, and the majority of Premier League clubs are wealthy enough to be able to sign really good players.
More expensive players on bigger wages are not automatically better players.

I’d be delighted to be in it next season
Yeah, same.
My point with that remark was that they are largely able to rest their key players in the early stage of the tournament.
Because of this their first team squad isn't being pushed to the limit.
For example we'd likely have been able to use the likes of Hall, Dummet, Ritchie and even some othr under 21 players outside of Miley in that if we were in it this season.

We could have and really should have used our back ups.
If we had done so and got smashed people would be complaining and saying the opposite.

Not real ones.

Better than crying and insulting people everytime someone has a different opinion to you.
Did you come up with that all by yourself? Very clever.

True, but if they do have the right manager and structure behind the scenes then they can spend more money and slot right back into the top 4 positions ahead of teams who spend less. We finished ahead of Liverpool, Spurs and Villa last season, they've bought big stars into their teams and now they are top 4 we aren't.
Long term perhaps we'll catch them up, but that's not going to save this season.
Villa and Spurs have bypassed us because they have had no European commitments. Liverpool have the Europa league where they have largely been able to use their backups.

Nobody is saying that these clubs won’t face difficult periods in the same way that a club outside of the established six cannot climb in to one of the top six positions in the league for a season or two; however, the advantages that they have in terms of finances due to their standing in the English game when financial fair play was introduced will always give them more of an advantage to rise back to the top.
That is what the problem is and why people are complaining about it.They see their natural position as being the top six with the likes of us, Villa, Leicester and West Ham as having a natural position of seventh to thirteenth.
More financial power means nothing without the right manager and structure behind the scenes.
Most of these top clubs throw away a hell of a lot of money and are far lazier and less inventive in the market because of their riches.
I'm not convinced they have this great advantage people keep talking about. They are far more likely to blow £90 million on some current over hyped player than go for the £30 million player that isn't as hyped, but who the data is identifying as being a stud.

How? As the rules currently exist the teams with most income from sponsers, corporate etc. will always hold a distinct advantage.
The bigger they are the stronger they become.
And how is that working out for them?
Looks like it's done Chelsea and Man Utd a world of good.
Our sponsorship will come along and before then we'll be smarter and better in the market like we have been.

Surely it warrants a few ‘tears’. It is frustrating as hell and where better to vent?
Everyone is going to be in the same boat eventually.
I trust our bunch better than most to manage the whole situation.
It will be fine.

Stop all this crying about FFP for goodness sake.
We have good people in charge that have been excellent in getting good players in.
It's all going to be navigated just fine and dare I say much better than the majority of other clubs.

Have to admit I'm abit frustrated at Spurs emergence this year. I really thought after the awful end to the season last year and with Kane leaving we wouldn't have to worry about them.
But, and I know they had a massive head start in finances and many years finishing top 6. But they are in a far stronger position that us now in terms of squad depth and quality and I think it's gonna be frustrating trying to break back in next year with the likes of them, Villa now and probably improving Chelsea. All while we will continually have to spend less than them due to FFP.
A quality right winger and left back and were giving everyone a run for their money next season.

Garnacho is greedy as well but he's still learning and getting better.
Antony passes backwards.
There's a fantastic player in Hojlund just begging for good service. He should have scored a couple tonight though and only has himself to blame.
Hojlund is not perfect and could have scored tonight, yes, but he deserves far better service, particularly from Rashford.

It's ironic because the one time he made the right decision and laid it off Dalot curled one in. Every other time he was in a similar position it was head down and take a shot he knew would be blocked, trying only create an opportunity for himself rather than his team.
He either needs an arm around the shoulder or a massive kick up the arse, no idea which
He's massively culpable for Hojlund having not scored more.
Always dwells on the ball and doesn't get it into him on time before doing something daft.
He is so awful man. I'd be fuming if I were Hojlund.

Manchester United in general...
Guy makes the wrong decision 99% of the time. Always over complicating everything.
Plays like he's still at school trying to show off one trick or the other that he usually fluffs. Cringeworthy.

Rashford is embarrassing.

Just stop talking about selling him FFS
We're only talking about selling him because of the clause in his contract.
There is talk of PSG paying the clause.
Completely out of the clubs hands.

Can someone tell Schar to calm down.
