Didn’t realise Villa Park was 52,000. Thought it was low to mid 40s. 

Pretty sure it's 42,000. Unless they're getting extended prior to the tournament?

Bloody hell. Anyone come back from Paris and not get it?

I'm going to Barcelona with work on Saturday, last thing I need is Covid.

Smashing strike that, tbf.

2-2

Can we please sort this forum out?

Will be a really interesting team selection this, with Gordon, Wilson, Joelinton and potentially Miggy out. 

 

Pope

 

Trippier

Lascelles

Schar

Burn

 

Longstaff

Bruno

Tonali

 

Murphy

Isak

Anderson

Thought Wilson and Joelinton were touch and go for last night? Are they confirmed out?

Oh fuck off.

The Diaz offside call (without lines) today looks particularly suspicious. 
 

Just desserts after Isak, like. But still.

That’s misleading. It’s 50/50 each time (in theory) - the preceding draws don’t factor into the actual probability.

0.02% chance of having 12 home cup draws in a row, yes.

Not a 0.02% chance of them drawing at home last night. 

12th home cup draw in a row for Man Utd. 
 

Statistical chances of that happening are 0.02%. 

Can we have the European refs back please?

Love this ref

It’s mad how clearly horrific the Premier League officiating is when you see refereeing done properly on the continent.

Rico Henry out for 10 months. Poor sod.

Wouldn't wish that injury on anyone. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Well this is real life football. Shit happens man.

 

We've played three good teams in a row and absolutely nothing is promised.

If your attitude is "shit happens man" then that's fair enough.

Some other fans care a bit more.

Folks couldn't handle last year's success man. They really thought we were Man City.

 

Well ... now receive your humbling and calm down.

 

Fair play to the away fans though. Still singing and getting behind the team.

No they didn't think we were Man City.

Attitudes like this are just as harmful as the "we'll never win another match".

Think seriously questions will be asked of Howe from the board. This is only going to get worse.

You can't put out a team that don't look like they've ever met each other before and not have questions asked. He's had the rightful plaudits for a long time, but you can't rock up and not look like you give a shit. And if you're tactically out thought this badly for two games in a row, questions ought to be asked.

Has their keeper made a save?

Don't think so.

Howe has got this completely and utterly wrong.

Well, last season was fun. Normal service resumes.

Quality pass from Longstaff.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE DOING?

Just now, clintdempsey said:

There does seem to be something off tbh. We’re overcomplicating things and are nowhere near as cohesive in our press as last season as well as standing off/too low. 

Agreed.

What on earth is going on with us at the moment?

You think too much or not enough? 

 

Considering the fee we paid for Gordon and the similar ages, I'd say Johnson has possibly shown more in the prem so far?

I guess I'm conflicted.

The price is probably about right for Johnson, but if that's what you're spending to try and replace Kane, it's a bit of a gamble.
