You're lucky I'm sound.

PSG should have it dead and buried. Still hoping for the Dortmund win.

I love Dortmund for what it's worth. I watch most of their games. I'd be shocked if they beat PSG.

Dortmund aren't very good. PSG hammered them in France. And they were outplayed by Milan in both games despite winning one 3-1. Go and look at their xG from most of their games over the last couple of months. PSG rightly big favourites.

Another two injuries. We are so fucked on Sunday.

Varane back. Some bench for us mind.

He'll survive. Neil Lennon did.

I think if we won and ended up going through tonight (which won't happen), we would get +6 for the coefficient, but if we were to lose and go into the EL we would only get 2 points for getting to the quarter finals. Could be wrong, but the CL is much more lucrative coefficient wise.

Well bloody aware of how Isak and Wilson were performing. But aye. Martial should be the back up to Hojlund, not the other way around. Especially against teams like Newcastle. I still can't get over the decision to start Martial in that game.

I think his finishing has been lethal when he's been in the position to score. His two goals against Galatasaray for example were superb and the second was incredibly composed for a 20 year old. His disallowed one in that game was top quality as well. The problem is service. Not sure if people even watched the Bournemouth game but the amount of wasted chances because of greediness on the wings is incredibly frustrating. Hojlund was free in the box on numerous occasions and people like Dalot tried to shoot from an impossible angle. The goals will come. He's quality.

I'm all for protecting players but am very much of the old school "if you're good enough, you're old enough" mantra. It's not like he's Ronaldo coming into the league with no meat on his bones. Hojlund is a physical specimen and can handle the league. A huge reason why we're poor is because of the centre forward position. Even if Hojlund isn't scoring he's enabling a complete press, whereas Martial if he isn't scoring is a statue and doesn't contribute at all. The only reason Hojlund shouldn't be starting for us is if he isn't 100% fit. We are miles better with him in the team. He isn't under any pressure whatsoever from fans either by the way. He could go the whole season without scoring and we wouldn't care. Newcastle fans said it best, "we don't demand a team that wins, we demand a team that tries." Martial and Rashford don't try. Hojlund works his arse off.

He is absolutely ready.

He has apparently been struggling with fitness but it reeks of Martial being given one last chance to impress, and obviously failing to do so. Hojlund is proper class like. If he's fit he needs to start. He hasn't been getting the service but is always in the right position and his hold up play is quality. Lightning fast as well. Desperate for him to be given a proper run in the team.

Bizarre decision. Martial has bags of talent. The 19/20 season in particular he was brilliant. Another overpaid mental midget though. Good riddance.

The Athletic reported the whole squad including Moyes was dealing with an illness. Not sure how valid it is.

Valid excuses FWIW.

He 100% used excuses and said the exact same things Ten Hag did. Howe just said it with decorum because he's a good lad and isn't Dutch.

It's a nonsense stat. Don't pay any attention to it.

Add Fulham to the list of top half teams we've beaten this season. Boom.

I never said we have an injury crisis.

Are we going to start comparing lists?

Same mate. Season is a write off.

They had a lot of injuries to be fair

Can anyone stop Villa winning the league?
