They can still make a gentleman's agreement..

I don't trust these at all, but seems like we have "too many" points yes.

Understat has some sort of https://understat.com/league/EPL

One of my ManU supporting friend was certain Murphy handball was a penalty. Like wtf mate

Not easy to press their 5 man defence. They are just waiting for set pieces or counters

So happy we didnt pay 60 million or whatever for Neto

This is true.

For a smaller teams even Conference League is. UEL really is not for a team like ManU. With your squad cost, CL is essential. Only point being in the EL is to win it and get back to CL. The hit your league form takes with it and each league position is woth couple of millions.

I don't think Cunha replaces long shooting of Schär. Schär gets into those positions because he is a centreback. I see no point getting Cunha, only if he could be moulded in to some sort of right winger/no 8/striker -hybrid which would allow him to cover few positions. With Cherki I see the technical ability and 1v1 skill, but I doubt he has the workrate or physicality for Howe's team.

Ok, EL prize money is pretty much non-existent, winner takes less than 10 million. But I take your word for it. So to put it mildly: you are in the shit without UCL.

How is that?

Tempo is ridiculously low.

Scamacca had some sort of success before that, 16 goals in Serie A. 30 million buys you someone like Eddie Nketiah... Scamacca was overpriced in the end, but he at least is an Italy international.

Shouldnt be overpriced players just because they are English.

I thought it was quoted 50 + million.

Well, they are 3rd so not much But I would say we need to win Chelsea and ManU at home, and not lose against Villa. Other games should be fine. Draw against Arsenal and even that one defeat is not a catastrophe.

I think Forest's style suits them playing on the counter against bigger teams. Can see them dropping points against mid table and lower teams.

The ease? He was constantly creating something. Put few very decent balls and one was headed away at the last moment by Tripps. Likes to cut in to his left foot a bit too much.

Gave the ball away quite a lot. His lack of legs also hinders our pressing. Joelinton was great again.

What is that

Dead tired

Ffs first Murphy doesnt pass, then penalty to Brentford

Did so well until the last pass scratch that

I think xG doesn't tell much in their games. They are deadly on the counter and have very little possession. Opposition has the ball and some kind of control, but do they really have many dangerous chances? I mean counter attack counts as 0,00 xG if you mess the key pass like they did couple of times yesterday. They have been lucky, but also they have been hard to break down.

Defending-wise he was ok. On the ball not so much. Both of our goals were created from that side though. He was in a difficult place that is true, but how much would he cost? 30 million or more?
