Doku is dangerous but he loses the ball absolutely loads. Led to the 2nd goal too. Feels like the kind of player Pep would hate.

Damn, was inches away from putting a tenner on Juve but spotted they were 6th in series A. Oh well.

Sludgy and a little slimy.

Yeah, same with Martinez, is he really that good?

This is basically the story of the last 5 Man Utd managers.

Excellent day and night! Can't wait for the next one. Good to see so many old and new faces.

Mon the reds, the red team.

What the hell was that line up if we thought Southgate shoehorned then in, this was something else.

Colin Iniesta has retired. Left Barca in 2018, I am feeling old.

That goal was so crap. Team were standing still letting them build up, then they just score really easily. Looked like fraud

Is Murphy starting up front?

Obertan was absolute garbage, especially when he was getting picked over HBA. It was like a sick joke.

Yeah i barely know what's happening. Doesn't seem much hype in the grounds either because there's so (relatively to before) little at stake.

Class. @Froggy it's just round the corner from you anyway. Cans at the Maldron.

I've stayed in quite a few. Motel One and Maldron are both very good. Motel One is a mad location but it is tucked away. Last time I was in EasyHotel and, to be fair, that was totally fine. However, at weekends they are all priced fairly similarly so worth the extra £10-20 for the nicer hotel but definitely worth it if cheap. There's sometimes a hack with buying an Itison deal and paying the weekend surcharge but it's much of a muchness now. I'm staying at the Maldron too this time!

Probably was. Last time Neesy had his phone and we watched it at an outside pub in the sun, that was much better. Shearer's is a bit grim I find but needs must.

That's the same with me. It's like a holiday!

@Froggy where are you staying? I need to book somewhere too.

I've never two-footed a sub before but oh well

The Everton goal was class. There was a sort of universal realisation that this guy was absolutely world class. The Everton fan reaction was a sort of stunned silence, they didn't even look that annoyed

Yeah, like I'm not sure you can say you'll be restricting staff from doing their job for no apparent reason. I am assuming all the contracts are full of appearance clauses, bonuses, goal targets etc. Not that I have massive sympathy, but imagine the PFA will have some thoughts.

Yes it really is bizarre. I expected at least a "not in first team plans and they will need to prove themselves to me" rather than a blanket "they are all shit and can fuck off" it's hilarious. Is it even legal? I hope they get an injury crisis and have to call on some of them. Will be fun to watch.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/vertragslosespieler Always fun to see free agents. Presumably something happening with Rabiot, though I've always thought he's shite and a total egg.

Cancelo to Saudi really is quite a big waste. Cheap too. What a strange guy.
