      Tottenham terrible against Liverpool. With the difference in quality they needed to play park the bus not rush forward and leave acres of space. Men vs boys. Reckon the Aussie is in trouble.

          Only saw the highlights and from that it looked a bit of a freakish result as United had a lot of good chances/goalmouth scrambles - Bruno alone looked like he had 10 shots. However Bournemouth ruthless and United's defence is always shaky. The tackle for the penalty was awful and the 3rd goal was very nicely worked.

          It was definitely men v boys, Liverpool are much too good to be that reckless against with only one first choice in your defensive unit. Whenever Spurs managed to move up the pitch they were only a misplaced pass away from conceding a goal. The 5th goal illustrated it best - Kulusevski has an easy pass to put Porro into a huge space all on his own, he dallies and the Liverpool left side that wasn't covering Porro score down the other end. Entertaining though. Gravenberch looks some player in the midfield.

            Fulham only drawing with Southampton and Chelsea with Everton. Both teams will be disappointed.

                That's why as a neutral I like Ange haha. His teams are entertaining to watch.

                Everton's 4th goalless draw in 6 games. They're so hard to break down as are all of sean dyche's teams. If you don't score against them in the first 25-30 mins, it makes for a hard afternoon.

                  Given normally I’m aiming g for getting past 30 points in a full year is my main aim, hitting 28 points by Christmas is awesome. Biggest thing right now is preventing players and Manager getting poached.

                    One of the best managers in the league. A genius appointment.

                    I see him succeeding at a powerhouse club in the future too.

                        No surprise just Fulham being Fulhamish but you so have to wonder. I would have taken 6 point from those last few games but to draw with Liverpool,Arsenal, Tottenham , beat Brighton and then lose to Southampton is not the way I saw us getting them.
                        Still need to find a more consistent striker for the rest of the season, but after the last 40 years I’ll be happy with a mid table finish.

                            @dogmeat Thanks for the correction. I was so pissed off I have seen it as a loss since the end of the game.
                            Now we will get a draw or win against Chelsea.

The 5th goal illustrated it best - Kulusevski has an easy pass to put Porro into a huge space all on his own, he dallies and the Liverpool left side that wasn't covering Porro score down the other end. Entertaining though. Gravenberch looks some player in the midfield.

                                Given normally I’m aiming g for getting past 30 points in a full year is my main aim, hitting 28 points by Christmas is awesome. Biggest thing right now is preventing players and Manager getting poached.

                                At some point I see Areola winning at a big club

                                  I thought we would lose as we are so short of midfielders, but one thing I have learnt is that we will try and score until the final minute! Happy with a point against a top team, not like beating United 🙂

                                    We are also down in midfield hence Silva departing from his normal 4-2-3-1 for the last two games

                                      Man U are hopeless! Newcastle already 2-0 up at United without breaking a sweat. New coach won’t last long at this rate.

                                        I don't know how United could possibly have expected a different result. They have managed to orchestrate the worst possible scenario.

                                        They needed to either get rid of Ten Hag in the summer appoint a new Manager and back him in the transfer window or reappoint Ten Hag and accept that this year might go pear shaped but they would stick with him for the full season.

                                        Instead, they reappoint Ten Hag, let him but the players he wanted to suit his system (whatever that was) then harpoon him a third of the way through and appoint a relatively inexperienced Manager who wants to play a totally different system and saddle him with a squad that are not cut out for his style of play.

                                        Amorim's results are no better than Ten Hag's, but surely United have to stick with him? Club's a complete mess. Ratcliffe's more dope than great hope. Seriously they are making the post Busby years look like a promised land.

                                        Sir Alex left behind a side in serious need of rebuilding - a task beyond all his successors. they (almost) all start off quite brightly and then the politics and toxicity of the place grinds them down. Remember how positive everyone was after Ten Hag's first season, post Ragnick. Got rid of Ronaldo finished third, won the League Cup. Then it all turned and Ten Hag's the worst Manager since Solskjær/Mourinho/Van Gaal/Moyes...
