    There's January football in there. But you called the thread December football.

    What is wrong with you?

    Complete overhaul for Liverpool much vaunted, but misfiring, front three.

    Can't see this ending all that well.

    We are going to get a thundercunting from City at the weekend. They will have to play very poorly not to hit five or six. Our back of midfield and centre backs basically don't exist against teams with pace and guile, and Sarri is incapable of changing even a single thing about how we play.

    Also, forshame on you for omitting the World Club Cup or whatever it is called these days, where, as the local paper informed me this morning, Guernsey FC's all time leading goalscorer (Ross Allen) might be getting a game for the Wellington mob.

    After 5 just wasn't enough against Southampton I hope to see more central midfielders in our formation today. Maybe 8, with Shaw and Young on the flanks.

    Pretty sure he’s just going to have Fabregas in the middle being an even bigger slouch than Jorginho. Poor Kante.

    A good few years ago I’d have contemplated watching United-Arsenal over Burnley-Liverpool but there’s not a cat in hells chance nowadays. I’d rather watch my daughter play with a broken lightbulb than watch United.

    At least its five defenders this time. Well, four and Darmian.

    It'll be nice to see the specialists fail at defending instead of makeshifts.

    Darmian's a good defender, isn't he.

    Savage is either on the sauce or he's attempting satire.

    There is an obvious lack of QUALITY, but United look to have some sort of idea and structure here for once, so maybe Paulp Ogba can follow his mate out the door.

    Everything about Marcos Rojo ought to make him Jose Mourinho's favourite player, but then you remember he is a mental.

    Well, I'd take a point from that, given how poor we were on Saturday. No ground lost to the bottom three.

    He'd make the team so much better if he just let Kante play deep.

    The position he's a world beater in.

    He's been questioned on this numerous times, and he just has tantrums and says you need someone with 'technical ability' to play centrally (by which he means slow and white). I don't know if he's just arrived on a time-travelling Lambretta from the midst of the 1981/82 Serie A season, but I'm pretty sure that physically dynamic players with some defensive capability have been known to play at the back of midfield.

    Hazard has seriously papered over the cracks, but we're still on course to finish 6th even with him.

    What's the score with that Lascazette business? Is he not allowed to do that? Burnley guy against Liverpool can kick it out of "arguably" the goalkeepers two hands but you can't do head it out of one? They didn't address it on MotD so I assume it is 100% not allowed nowadays, which is, by the way, a travesty. What's the world coming to?

    You cant take it off the keeper when he has control of the ball or impede him in throwing or kicking it. Thanks to Thierry Henry we now know control extends all the way to getting rid of the ball.

    Playground rules say one hand is not control but they don't carry on to the serious stuff. They Burnley goal would have been an interesting case for VAR to look at.

    I've just been roped in (by an old family friend who won a charity auction to this effect) to have dinner with Norman Hunter and Ron 'Chopper' Harris. I don't know if I should be delighted or terrified at this prospect.

    Didnt you say you're an umpire? Those type of diner events sounds perfect for you lad. Eating prawn sandwiches with a team full of weirdo's. Boring as fuck.

    There will come a point (fairly early on if you're anything like me) when it just turns into a dinner with two old men who need the money.

    Watching West Brom, Harvey Barnes looks way too good for this league, both in terms of electric physicality and finesse. Will be around the England squad by the next tournament.

    My Dad refuses to rate any of the youth players (I know this ones on loan) after Chelsea and Tottenham stole the last group and never played them. Izzy Brown, the highest rated of them, left a month after making his debut at West Brom and becoming the second youngest player to ever play a Premier League match. Izzy Brown is still only 21 and on his 5th loan spell in as many years. Having only made over 15 appearances in a season twice (4 years ago).

    United should be winning those home games against shit teams, but that Cardiff away is a late kick-off, which means them and their assembled crowd of retards being UP FOR IT and getting at least a draw (then losing their next ten), and 'Rafa' is probably already planning an ambush. The less said about Liverpool the better. If the club suddenly reversed its approach towards the immediacy of modern life then matey could find himself in a bit of trouble.

    United is a weird one. At the start of last season they looked and felt ready to at least mix it with 'Pep' and his possession-having acolytes, and now here they are, after not really losing anyone, slotting in behind Eddie Howe's AFC Bournemouth as we enter December.

    It is an odd one, hence the weekly NARRATIVE switches between only needing a bit more QUALITY in key areas to needing ten new players, and it all being on the manager to him doing his best between Chris Smalling and a clueless board. I'm not even sure where I stand at this exact moment in time.

    One thing I definitely feel with United right now - which I can't explain very well - is that I'm not sure how good most of the players in the team actually are.

    Yeah, we know what Fellaini can and cannot do, pretty much, and some others like Mata, Young, Matic, Smalling probably. And De Gea is just outstanding regardless.

    But the others you have an idea, but I just can't tell if "this is it, they aren't actually that good" or they have much more to give - Pogba (great for France), Martial (who comes and goes but constantly seems underrated), Lindelöf (great for Sweden), Rashford (I dunno, poor mans Owen?), Bailly, Matic (is he just past it? he looked like signing of the season last year), Fred (wait, he's started like 4 games)...

    United have got as much chance of getting a good result against Liverpool as they have of beating any of the other assembled crap they have to face in the next few weeks.

    Grind it out, hope Liverpool freeze as they have become prone to in the fixture, and have one of their 1 in 10 spaztards turn up for the day.

    On the flipside, Mitrovic and co could cause all sorts of havoc tomorrow.
