Erikse

Did Schar get 2 games? Is it because he has already had a suspension for the red?

Meslier had a mare..

I took a hit to bring in Trent on FPL, so don't worry. He'll get 0 g/a and you're guaranteed to score.

Just messing. To be fair you guys being shit that game was the focus of all the pundits and media, as usual. We didn't get that much creds for the game outside of our fanbase. So that's actually what happened. Obviously you were missing Ugarte and Fernandes, so that kind of helps for todays game, mind. As we both know Ugarte is Ballon d'Or worthy.

So you're saying that you are looking good as a consequence of Liverpool being shite today?

Ipswich really has a thing for losing points in stoppage time..

Probably yes, but if Tottenham and Man Utd don't get their act together, we'll be competing with 4 cartel clubs and Forest + Villa (with way more games than us). Depends on Citys form aswell, ofcourse, in the best case scenario even they might not be up there. There will allways be 1 or 2 top clubs struggling, but this season has been quite crazy with 3 top clubs in some sort of crisis and with teams like Bournemouth and Forest doing very well. Strange season, but I like it so far.

I've noticed this too lately, how often we are surrounded by opponents and just play through the pressure with ease. We've been top quality on the ball in midfield lately. Even Joelinton has done well in tight spaces.

I've actually forgotten to pay attention to whether he's smiling or not lately. Does he still not want to be here?

I have Raya on fpl, cmon man! Save it please.

5 points in the last 8 (if they lose today), not a single win..

West Ham are awful. Leicester was the better team against City. Remains to be seen if the confidence boost and getting Kovacic back can give them a boost. They are approaching a very difficult run of fixtures.

Seems like the amount of starting options can be a bad thing for them. Playing pretty much the same attackers over and over would give them the best cosistency and continuity (especially when it works), but it seems like the manager feels like he has to give some of the other 4 expensive attackers some more chances to play.

Really didn't think we would be able to compete with Chelsea this season, but their form has dipped lately. Right now I think Arsenal and ofcourse Liverpool are the only teams that we can't catch up with. The rest will be possible to beat.

Why didn't Reguillon get booked for that absolute rage towards the ref? Hall got booked for punching the air earlier in the season. Did they stop giving those?

4 big chances is a lot though, we had more opportunities aswell. Our xg was 2.26, and that's pretty high, but ofcourse we didn't underperform it that much. Scoring 2 was fine, but if we miss those 2 chances in another game it's going to be crucial. And Arsenal fan of messaged me and just said "Isak and Tonali should have scored" when giving his opinion on the game. That was his main takeaway. If Man Utd had come back somehow, we'd be looking back at those chances.

Last game we were all over them at 2-0 first half, then both Tonali and Isak missed those huge chances. Right after that Schär almost gifted them a goal to get back in it. We've been creating tons of chances, and I expect the same today. If that happens we should win as long as we're not too wasteful.

Despite the scorelines we've been a bit wasteful with our chances. I think we'll win as long as we're not too wasteful.

Man of the match incoming.

I actually hope Botman doesn't start this one, even when that means having to rely on Kelly. It seems like the club has learned their lesson on this anyways, so whatever decision they make will probably be of good reason. I'm just scarred from last season.

Indeed. I've ended up regretting capping someone else each time I've done so based on fixture. Salah can easily haul against anyone. Not that Man Utd at home is all that difficult anyways.

You just made me agree with froggy. Disaster.

I can see into the future. Højlund will never reach the level of Isak. Save it for later. Thanks.

I'm sure Manchester United would reject a straight swap deal between them.
