Not to mention, when you're kicking the tires on a guy like Lescott you have to consider the mileage on the chassis.

Hull went crazy too: they sold Livermore and Snodgrass for a combined £21m, but only spent £5m on two guys (Henriksen and Evandro, whoever they are) and then sealed four loan deals (Ranocchia, Markovic, Niasse and N'Diaye). Moyes raided Everton for two of his former players (Gibson and Oviedo) and also signed Lescott lol.
Milivojevic is an excellent player, though.

Has an excellent pass, good vision, sound defensively, good in the air yet quick for someone his size. A really good defensive midfielder.

As for Evandro, he used to play in Serbia a few years ago so I know him. A really good technical player with good vision and passing ability. Could be a decent pickup for them.

But Markovic...he sucks. Easily their worst pickup, even with Lescott.

IFAB to study to implementation 'Sin Bins.'

Would've been more up to the wall for a shot like that I think.

Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are going to be an absolute terror for opposing defenses, if they aren't already.

I havent been watching this game, but I've seen Sane play for Germany and he is fantastic.

By the way, Liverpool have taken 4 points off of Chelsea this season, the rest of you have to step your game up!

immense bottle job by United again. How you can play so well and lose so many points at the same time is quite impressive. At a loss of words, really. You see yesterday's results and then crap the bed like that against ####ing Hull? Unacceptable.

also another shocking ref display. Niasse himself probably has no idea how he wasn't sent off today.

6 extra minutes so far? What happened to deserve that? Was there an injury?

Hull took a page out of the Italian timewasting playbook today. A shame those asshats got away with it, too.

Hope they get relegated. They fired Mike Phelan, too, so #### them.

Reports in France say Griezmann has agreed to terms with United. So at least we have that going for us today, which is nice ... if true, of course.

Well, look at that. West Ham was clobbered by Man. City again. Apparently Snodgrass looked good, at least.

What's the similarity between Fontes and the Titanic?

I have no idea what Coquelin (who is awful as always) was trying to do here, but still ... outstanding goal by Hazard.
