"The problem with Brighton is they always try to walk it in"

Should be 5

Hahah, man utd good for one thing, boosting Brighton's GD.

 

[The Running Man]

We will finish on negative goal diffference

 

[Calpol]

Fernandes is a huge issue in this team. He plays wherever he likes and leaves huge holes which the midfield is clueless to plug. No other team in the league indulges a player like that.

 

[Sui]

4-0 down and you bring a defender on?

How ambitious

edit: Fair enough. He seems a greater threat at scoring.

 

[omnomnom]

I hope ETH realises what a job he has on his plate here.

LOL Cavani

Haha wtf, GD of 1 atm, think that's one of the lowest I can recall a MU team having end of season! Would be negative without CR7

 

[bingham67]

Man Utd = relegation fodder

 

[Tombstone]

Ten Hag might be checking his paperwork to see if theres a change of mind get out clause

"You know that 200 million you promised me, thats just for midfield right? I get more for other positions? Right??!?"

 

[fez]

Come on Spurs, cheer me up

 

[Tombstone]

Very attacking team selection from Spurs, which could play into our hands

 

[robfosters]

I’ve literally never wanted Liverpool to win so much.

 

[JamesH85]

Nice 4-0 win for the pool, c'mon!

Keep the pressure on city and the quadruple dreams alive.

 

[robfosters]

It’s proper dead in here today

 

[The_One]

come on liverpool

This.

I've said it before, but top teams no longer play with a "true" number 10. They either adapt, like de Bruyne, or they end up benched or moving to a "smaller" side like Coutinho, Isco, James, Ozil etc. In the same way, genuine defensive midfielders - the classic Makeleles - don't exist any more. The best ones - Fabinho, Rodri, Kante for example - are all capable of much more than breaking up play.

Midfielders now have to be complete players, and Bruno is not one. He's an excellent footballer, but his position no longer exists at the top level.

Hoddle really does have a voice that can put you to sleep, suppose we should be glad its not sniffy tho
