Never in my life heard of this ref today. Tom Bramall, doesn't even sound like a ref.

No mate, he's just from Liverpool is all.

That's what I hope, but you never know. Stranger things have happened this season.

No Isak, which I'm torn about. Glad he's getting a day off but worried its now much worse than they are letting on.

Potential bench of Karius Krafth Dummett Hall Livramento Isak Wilson Barnes Ritchie That's much better but still missing any help in the midfield.

Burn ruining his moment there.

The Dutch are partial to a back 3 though. Its possible you could see Van de Ven, Van Dijk and Botman as a back 3. Plus De Vrij as back up, thats an impresive quality at CB for them. That would be incredible really.

He's an excellent goalkeeper, but that is basically a dive isn't it. Should be a yellow card technically, he's thrown himself to the ground in hope he'll get a free kick.

I'd take 1-0 in the 95th minute with no new injuries and 3 players making their return.

Is there any need to risk Isak? I get that if the medical team approve it then it's probably okay to do so, but how many times have we seen players come back and then go off in the same game? Joelinton, Willock, Murphy just off the top of my head. One game without him won't be the worst thing in the world, especially against Luton. Its probably the one game you'd be okay with it, even if they are doing exceptionally well.

Really good goal from Rashford, actually well worked from Man U surprisingly.

2 minutes in and Casemiro gets a yellow card. Love to see it.

I reckon Bruno is in the bottom 3 for the 100m sprint out of the entire squad. Probably only Gillespie and Karius slower than him. Like you said Longstaff caught up to him and overtook him in the space of 40/50M.

A Brentford win would be great for us.

Can't see anything happening. Maybe we'll get a loan if we're super lucky. But don't see anyone worth having being allowed to leave now.

Seems like Forrest have got Reyna on loan. Why the fuck couldn't we have got that done. Would've suited our situation perfectly.

I'd begrudge paying what they want for him (£50M) when he cost £20M in the summer

Nothing is going to happen now. It's too late for anyone to leave AND get someone in. A loan I guess is still possible but I'd be surprised if any decent players (especially strikers) will be allowed to leave their clubs at this stage.

If Dubravka had Pope's ability off his line he'd be the better keeper without a doubt. Unfortunately he doesn't but still is more comfortable with his feet.

He's more than just a wide forward/winger for us now. It's been said alot but £40M is fuck all for what he gives this team and how valuable his adaptability is with this injury horror show. If he's not in the England squad this summer he may as well fuck that off until Southgate leaves.

Definitely not, although I'd argue Schar is the better footballer both those mentioned were better defenders. But in the modern game Schar is perfect, especially alongside Botman.

Wilson was meant to be back for Villa right? Hopefully he's atleast on the bench for this. Maybe Barnes if we're lucky.

If they're discounted perhaps we can now actually afford them.
