Anyone recommend a pub with a really dark corner that selling flagons of strong dark ale. Preferably playing very melancholy music 

Why do we keep floating the ball to the far side when we have chance to cross

In fairness to the players, it does seem as though they are actively trying to bring ticket prices down 

If they go 2 up we will bring on Jota as we would need to score lots of goals.

At the moment it would seem we don’t

Didn't realize this was an away game.

And we seen to be against Ancelottis 2005 Milan side 

I think a new manager may play him differently. Or may have already seen enough and bin him.

Arsenals record signing was Pepe wasnt it? £72m. Best thing they did was get rid

The players do seem to lack game intelligence- some are naturals but others only gain it through adverse experience.

The Henderson point is an interesting one . His influence wained in his last season but he wouldnt hide and would actively try and rally the team if it was flailing. I know its not the norm but when I see United score their 2nd last weekend I half expect to see Van Dijk make his way up the pitch whilst United celebrate and go to the forwards one by one, letting them know we need better, get their chins up, get them focused- just showing physical leadership in a storm

That guy looked like my dad only without the glasses. He must be 75 if he's a day.

A sprightly 66.

In his prime one might say 

Edwards swapped numbers with the Atalanta boss

Haha, Crouch has to stand with his feet a mile apart just so he stays in the same shot at Jules Breach.

Gasperini masterclass.

Wonder what his plans are next season 

If that happened over here we would have mental health experts on breakfast TV reading Hendersons body language    

She Came To Me (Peter Dinklage)

Watchable weirdness

6/10  

Wow- only just seen the 2 incidents. The Gabriel one defies logic.

Saka simply runs at the keeper and kicks him- the keeper doesnt move his leg

People need to forget about Alonso.

 

He was a very good player here and became an outstanding one after he left us. Maybe he realises it's a bit of a poisoned challice coming here, but more likely he knows Ancelloti is leaving Real next year and that's the one he wants - not us or Bayern.

 

I'm sure he likes us, no more than Suarez, Torres or Mascherano might, but if he really loves us, he'd come. He isn't so let's just move on.

 

I know nothing about this guy, but he's tactically supposed to be very good. 

I’ve decided Alonso is a shit Ranieri

Doing ok with the Portugal national side.

Thats good as I think our team will have a distinct Portuguese flavour in around a years time  

Could be FSG looking to tap into the lucrative "Friends" market in the US

I don’t like his face. 

Posture for me. He seems to be leaning forwards in most pictures I’ve seen

Im not worried about playing anyone at Anfield. if we are destined not to win it please dont add insult to it  by us and Arsenal winning all of our games- that would sting

Jota and Trent should just fast track themselves into contention. 

I said it in the build up, Gakpo would surely have finished one of the 20 shots we had early on if he had started. Nunez would have been perfect to bring on when the match had gone batshit mental in the last 25mins 

Wish I could say United played like it was their Cup Final but they didn’t

But they’re a point behind us so it’s not the issue at the moment.

I take your point (pun intended)

We need to be going all out to win by 5 or 6 in every game now. Arsenal won’t drop any more points, so we need to do something sensational on goal difference.

You’re forgetting City who are home to Luton this weekend. We are only 2 goals ahead of them

The positive is now the pressure is firmly on Arsenal. They were chasing us down winning and watching us. Now it will be different for them.

The negative- our strikers will no doubt start blowing teams away when it’s too late.

Salah has been woeful and I’m still patiently waiting for Nunez to “explode”
