    I only saw the first half of our game, including the multi-seethe which I didn't quite understand (aren't handballs always a red in that situation?), and left convinced we were going to go down 4-1 so pleasantly surprised with the result.

    Fun fact is that the last time Gerrard and Ange were in direct competition was in 2013 at the G with 95 000 mates.

    Lascelles last week and I didn't hear one person suggest a red, although personally did wonder, so fuck knows.

    Spurs top on maximum points, Arsenal bottom on zero. It won't last but that's a beautiful league table.

    I forgot about the undefeated away record. That's basically a final by current standards, so defeat incoming.

    I think Ole is hoping that having a Varane-Maguire centre back paring will be strong enough defensively to get away with Pogba playing in the pivot again. I am doubtful.

    Fred has been absolutely appalling the last 2 games.

    Given that Daniel James offers the exact same amount of not a lot on either side, why is the seventy million pound attacking midfielder the club have chased for three years playing on the wrong side to accommodate him?

    Sancho is as good either side. Why James is on the right when he's clearly better on the left, I have no fucking idea.

    At least when Rashford comes back and plays every single second it will force Sancho onto the right.

    Bizarre team selection again. Pogba is clearly not a centre mid and has been excellent on the left so we move him to centre mid and put Sancho, a right winger, on the left. Stupid shit.

    If he can be sacked before the season is completely written off I will buy everything in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shop.

    This has the feel of virtually every United away game during this run of theirs. Dreadful first half, opponents don't take their chance, United win the second half.

    He’s a better player on the left and has played there more than on the right for Dortmund in the last year. Started off on the right for Dortmund though

    Sancho has played as many games, if not more, on the left for Dortmund than the right. I think he even has marginally better stats from the left.

    Nah. He's excellent both sides. Don't get drawn into this "he's actually a left winger" nonsense.

    Sancho on the left (blue) and on the right (green) at Dortmund. Vast majority of minutes in first couple of seasons when he was like 18 were on the right. Also obv doesn't control for other factors that might decide where he's playing. Probably not much in it basically and he's looking like another FAILED BUNDESLIGA IMPORT so far here.

    There is an article to be written on the Wolves fans patronising Adama Traore in a racist way.

    That's because you're retarded. He literally takes 3 steps, turns and looks around to see they've lost the ball, then starts grimacing and picks his foot up.

    Not sure Pogba actually even touched him.

    In seriousness, Fred is absolute wank again and Pogba shouldn't be played anywhere further back than the left wing or 10 if Bruno is out.

    If we don't sign a decent midfielder we won't do anything this season, Ronaldo or otherwise.

    No idea how solskjaer manages it. Maybe he's just a lucky general.

    Greenwood is going to be massive.

    "Sancho is as good on the left" is not a reasonable explanation for why the fuck we're playing him there so far.

    Fred and McTominay in the 'pivot', Paulp Ogba on the left and nowhere near the centre circle, Bruno Fernandes doing what he likes, Jadon Sanchobertan on the right, and a striker that isn't Anthony Martial.

    I would love to see van der Beek in that pivot but there's more chance of me turning up there.

    Back five pretty much as today (Henderson should be competing ddg, that corner save was only because he didn't claim it a yard in front). Mctomminay + Fernandes would work I'm sure, Pogba centre, Sancho left, Ronaldo and Greenwood right.

    Fernandes defensive midfielder? The guy that has a hand in virtually every goal your team scores being put on defensive detail?
