Why is Liverpool getting Gakpo? Over Darwin already?

Well Oxlade-Chamberlain started in the front 3 today, so not exactly an impossible lineup to crack.

Diaz and Jota out for sometime

Up front now will be Gakpo Nunez and Salah

Plus continues to help the team get younger without breaking the bank

Hopefully it works out !

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Two big players out relatively long-term and they're cycling through to make the top players younger.

Who is the LCB for united today, adjacent to Varane. Malacia? Shaw?
Maguire is on the bench

Casemiro? Then a 3-3-3-1?

???

I'd expect Shaw to be the LCB. Lindelöf ill, Maguire too but fit enough for the bench it seems. Does Phil Jones even exist? Still earns a ####load of money, yet we have to shuffle players around like crazy if we miss a couple of CBs. Incredible.

How much have you guys paid Phil Jones for effectively nothing?

job well done. Rashford, Casemiro and Varane were all excellent. Antony had a really poor game and they were way too wasteful with their chances, but that's about it. Good to finally watch some football again lol

I do like the fluid attack, but getting in another striker wouldn't hurt.

Chelsea spending ~€120m on Fernandez this window will have them over 600m in two windows since Boehly took over. They’ve changed the FFP rules to spread costs out over the term, but seriously this is insane. There are rumours that the Saudis have a piece of Chelsea through Boehly, and that actually makes some sense.

Overall, the FFP rules are just useless though.

Benfica with maybe the greatest turnaround for a player ever, bought for €12 million five months ago and sold for €108 million profit five months later.

They could sell Ramos for a similar sum, too.

That is some comical defending by Liverpool. Jump up to play the offside trap and let the ball carrier waltz in alone.

Freakish OG by Leicester. Liverpool probably undeservedly drawing.
