Depends on how the teams line up, it's Carabao Cup 4th round.. We beat Man City in the cup, but didn't really hurt them in the league.

Man United has not impressed in a single game all season, they look awful in every game. Yet they have 6 wins from 12 in PL and CL... I guess they were good in the cup against the Palace reserves.

Wow.. Sevilla so close

Fair, but they're barely winning against teams like Brentford, Burnley, Forest, Wolves, Copenhagen and Sheffield United. Apart from that they have lost to any strong side that they have faced.. Doesn't scream of a good team to me.

Man United really has a thing for winning these boring games by 1 goal..

Sevilla really has a guy shouting into the stadium speaker the entire game.

Man United are still such a boring watch, had to switch to the Arsenal game..

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. But I also think that we definetly can get more points, we drew many games last season and the bottom teams are almost free now.

They could definetly struggle against Gala, if Gala beat Man United and Copenhagen, then Man United are out. Man United should in theory beat Copenhagen twice though, so if they can draw against Gala, then facing a Bayern who are already through can make the difference.

Man United are actually so lucky with the fixtures.. Gala, the team that Man United need to overcome, are facing Bayern twice when Bayern still need points. Man United face Bayern at home in the last round, when Bayern are already through.

If you look at last season, 4th place had 17 points after 9 rounds and 5-6th place had 14 points. The postponed games has been added to this. Right now 4th place has 20 points, while 5th has 19 points (5 points more than last season) and 6th place has 16 points.

Honestly I'm starting to think that needing more points than what we got last year for top 4 will become a reality. Tottenham is doing much better than I expected, and Villa can easily improve on last season without that Gerrard start. Liverpool is looking very strong aswell. I'm sure Tottenham wont last all season, but surely the will improve their tally from last season by quite a bit?

You know you're getting spoiled when you would be disappointed with a draw against Dortmund in the CL. I know that I would, considering our form lately.

Someone need to make a compilation of his involvements from the game. The pass to Trippier on the first goal was pretty mint aswell.

Comments are allways full of people overly trying to find hypocrisy in everything and making shitty comparisons..

They needed to make sure that it was the perfect timing. First 3 months of "no football related activities" were off season.

Murphy was like a second Trippier down that right side on saturday.

That's how he never learned by his mistakes as a manager, and never developed at all. Terrible mindset and no willingness to learn. Completely ignorant to his own mistakes, and blamed it on bad luck or the world being against him. How to fail as a manager. I think this is what Mourinho also has suffered from, and why he has declined. Again, the opposite of Howe who will critically analyse every decision that he makes.

Sell him

He was even underrated by the Swiss coach at the World Cup. Such a shame that Bruce took away a couple of Schär years from us.. Scary how that man can ruin some good talent. He's like the opposite of Howe in terms of man management. He destroys players at the same rate as Howe develops them.

He's been underrated ever since Howe took over. It almost seems like some of our fanbase are the only ones who realises just how good he is, from watching him each game.

Incredible how much impact he can make as a sub. He would be a starter every game for us when fit.

Last seasons Longstaff, with some improved finishing on top of it? Sign me up!

Maybe Mbappe has some gambling issues that we can take advantage of and bring him here.

God. After trying to be positive I just read this and realised that he also has the potensial to become one of the most hated men on Tyneside ever.
