Isak in full match fitness buries that.

This is much better than so far this season. Need to take a chance at some point and repeat this play in away games.

That's extremely borderline. He could have gone down such that he didn't handle that.

I guess it ultimately boils down to do you consider the manager to be part of the team? Given they're the figurehead of it, choose it, dictate the tactics, etc, etc, I do. And whilst they might not play in games most managers are ex players. Seems bizarre that you can be not eligible to play for a national team but you can manage them. A role I'd say is more impactful than one player of eleven. I've no issues with the appointment in the sense it's within the rules. It's the rules that need changing imo because it makes a bit of a mockery of it being a national side.

If Isak is fit he's the first name on the sheet. Perhaps you could argue Bruno is but beyond that baffling to suggest otherwise.

I'm in the camp of we should have an English manager. It's the England team after all. If we don't have enough good enough English managers then tough shit. Nurture some better ones then. That said the rules are what they are. The appointment itself is a fascinating one. Proper crash or burn stuff. But if we did win the world cup I can't help but feel it would have a small asterix next to it as it wasn't an English manager.

I mean in the sense that if you apply "what would the market charge" if you asked it for a loan. Loaning Everton £100m isn't what I imagine would be considered low risk that you'd be happy with a 0.1% rate for £100,000k per year.

Even if you could guarantee the base rate would remain 0.1% over 5 years no-one is loaning a football club 200m at anywhere near that rate. It'd be financially stupid wouldn't it?

No. He's said as much himself.

He's said basically this on camera himself. Don't think he'd go near it.

The fact they were celebrating his penalty miss more than their actual goal tells you all you need to know.

It's hastily organised amendments that's landed them in this hot water. They shouldn't be rushing to repeat the exercise.

I assume there won't be any great rush to change the rules because of how much rushing it last time has bit them in the arse. Even if the loan interest isn't applied historically it surely now has to be included in this year's calculations. Next summer could be funny if the likes of Arsenal and Brighton are scrambling to sell players to stay compliant.

The thing I don't get is why capital injection/loans are allowed to be considered income in the first place for the purposes of PSR. Surely the overarching point of it all if we take it at face value is they want clubs to be self sustaining and not reliant on owners having pots of money that they could one day withdraw.

Only Southampton have scored less goals than man utd this season.

I'm surprised the spurs players can see each other here.

We know why.

6 minutes? Ref has caused nearly that himself.

Ref bottled it there.

Performance has been fine imo. One of our better away efforts. We should have won it if we could finish/had a striker fit.

Odd sub.

Murphy should have had an assist there.

These are really shit. Think we'll do them in the second half.

All hail VAR. Always liked it.
