I’m sure Big Dan Burn will get a few from corners

I’m not counting on it

I’d love to know how small a wage Everton offered DCL as a new deal and how much he’s on now.

I’d love to know how small a wage Everton offered DCL as a new deal and how much he’s on now.

Isn’t it generally a much higher signing on fee than the actual weekly wage for free transfers, I would be surprised if he’s on much above £100k a week

 

[Shamikebab]

Depends on the player I guess. Think Lingard had a pretty high wage at Forest

 

[engee]

Strong side being put out by Man Utd, no surprise there. Important they win this convincingly.

 

[marinersfan]

Come on Town!!

 

[Calpol]

Sesko starts, Mainoo and Ugarte secure their Carabao spots and Onana is back in goal. Yoro rested and still no Mazraoui

Man Utd XI: Onana, Fredricson, Maguire, Heaven, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dorgu, Amad, Cunha, Sesko

Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, De Ligt, Leon, Casemiro, Fernandes, Mount, Mbeumo, Zirkzee.

 

[Robbo]

Good to see Sesko starting, can't afford to lose this one.

 

[marinersfan]

Hopefully we can keep up our good form against United

 

[Droolinggimp]

Expecting a utd win but I just dont think we will.

 

[Converge]

Dalot to do Dalot things. Ugarte to get a card and Sesko to score, all while we make it much harder than it need be.

 

[engee]

It’s the Utd way. We often do it the hard way.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Shambles

 

[Robbo]

The players look so uncomfortable in this 'system', even against this opposition

 

[mid_gen]

Get pressed far too easily. Not helped really having so many changes at the back.

 

[engee]

They can hardly string a few passes together. Disappointing so far.

 

[bingham67]

Getting pressed by Grimsby is embarrassing why do other teams play so much better then us?

 

[Converge]

Wow, what a surprise.

 

[Stumble Bum]

just lol.

 

[marinersfan]

******* get in!!!
