    Dawson taking Che Adams' head off is a good one. No red either. Well played, sir.

    Liverpool and City don't throw waves of players at you like Leeds do (and therefore don't have the same defensive vulnerabilities ready to exploit). They both move it quickly but there is much more precision and craft and ability to finish chances, so trying to block them defending deep is no madder than going at them and leaving big gaps to make their life easier. I say this in a nice way as I love watching Leeds, but they are basically throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. I haven't watched every game so I don't know how teams like Burnley fielded it, but I can't see how a low block and zero ambition would get you your 0-0 or your nicked 1-0 unless you got unbelievably lucky.

    The Leeds weaknesses are a) criminal wastefulness in front of goal, and b) complete inability to defend against teams who fight fire with fire. Chelsea, United and actually Palace games (big up Roy) examples of this.

    Also, is that the first successful use of the arm to stop a ball on the line by Burnley there (with the new interpretation)? Looked quite upper arm-ish to me.
    I've been watching it and it's amazing that he's able to make Savage look good.

    His musings on Kyle Walker-Peters were really off I thought. Pretty much amounted to 'never thought he would amount to much so fair play he's dropped down a level to get some game time', when he was probably better than any of the rightbacks at Spurs when he left (and has obviously been better than the two they have now for a while).

    While this is true it's at Old Trafford so they shouldn't need to raise their game much on current form.

    Cavani's sexy locks (or a spammy Rashford dive/Bruno pen combo) will see us prevail. Wolves deserve bad mojo for fielding a goalie with number 11. Absolute hate crime, that

    Rashford's two diving instances in this game have been embarrassing tbf. My man literally left the ball and begged the contact that never came.

    Eric Bailly was class, and I'm sure he did a Ronaldo chop on the edge of their box.

    I assumed you were trying to say it's pointless to think about "if we win our games in hand" as we won't win them. Apologies. Your posts are garbled nonsense so the meaning often gets a bit lost.

    Lots of folk getting reeled in here.

    On the ropes terriroty.

    Anyway, in other news I see Big Sam is so worried about catching covid that he thinks we should all have a little break whilst he can sort his shit show of a team out, I'm sorry, I mean, to help with the national effort. If he was that worried why did he take a job which apparently exposes him to some elevated risk (as if) only weeks ago?

    Because they blew so much time on the international breaks, I don't think they have time for that without running into Euro 2020.

    Yeah, I don't think it's a goer due to the International schedule. Probably more likely into void the league territory, which Sam would obviously be all over as well. What was agreed about that way back when?

    They should move the Euros to the winter as a trial run for Qatar.
