Not entirely the point I’m making. It was more aimed at what they perceive as important(why else are we seeing them go after Rabiot?). Richard Arnold or Woody may not have been able to properly pronounce either of their names, therefore not needed

To bench Varane over a 5'8 young, fresh CB v Toney week 2? With the football being awful between?

Not saying that Martinez has been good, but noting him and not Slabhead as well here is just wrong. Maguire has been on the pitch for some of the worst results for United in the last calendar year. I have no clue who he has incriminating pictures of, but he keeps being picked when he’s not close to good enough for a side that wants to play in the Champions League.

And their bench still ****ing sucks. City and PSG are often not *super deep* because their first xi are just insane and walk the league, but Elanga is your first attacking sub. Not many, if any top half clubs he would start for.

Maguire is probably the worst of the three, but he's also the captain. You bench him right away and you probably need to find a new captain and sell him. Now, most people would probably say this is the correct move. But if you aren't prepared to do it, you can't really do it imo.

LOL I know, I was partially being facetious but I was also surprised that Bentancur is more popular than Kulu. Guess he's a couple years older and been on international scene for Uruguay longer

How many of their starters start for Spurs or Arsenal or Chelsea?

On form, 0. I still think guys like Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho, Bruno can have good seasons, better than their top 6 counterparts. I wouldn't be *shocked* if Sancho and rashford ended up scoring 10 each.

I'm excited to see how Spurs look tomorrow, didn't catch them last week. But, one of the best parts about Arsenal thus far is their work ethic/pressing. I only really saw that from Eriksen for United today and he's still not really known as that type. I dont care how talented you are, how much higher your FIFA rating is, if you jog when out of possession and the other team is sprinting, good luck.

I suspected Arsenal would be better than most Spurs fans thought, I wouldn't bet on Spurs -5.5 vs Arsenal which was line (I did take them at evens vs Arsenal vs an idiot) as I think line is right/sliiiiightly favour Arsenal +5.5, but I didn't expect you to come out of the gate like this.

Of course it's early, but the two teams you've looked good against aren't the cannon fodder of Norwich last season type teams.

I've always thought it seemed Arteta "got it", not surprised it appears to be working out.

This is ridiculous because I never do this but I fancy us tomorrow even though the last time we won there Dele Alli scored twice (and that was only win in last like 30 years).

Paratici is the guy driving transfers. He was largely responsible for bringing Romero, Bentacur and Kulu, who were all with him at Juve.

Fans gave him a bit of stick early on for mainly bringing players in from Italy, but if you stick the landing every time then why not.

Jadon Sancho has played for more managers at Man United (4) than he has scored goals (3)

The ref has done a terrific job breaking up play for Forest.

Not sure about the goal being ruled out really.

Their goal should be ruled out for being too ****.
