United better hope Ugarte works out because you probably can't trot Casemiro out there week after week.

Edit: Another giveaway by Casemiro, Just horrible defending by Martinez, and it's 2-0 Liverpool

Casemiro is so washed, it's painful to see.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Casemiro and Martinez both having disasterclasses so far. Start was decent enough for United, but they've looked really bad the last 20.

[devo22]

throw Collyer on at halftime ... young lad, but can't be worse than Casemiro.

Amad for Rashford too, please. Doubt they'll be able to salvage this, but at least try.

[SuperMatt18]

I'd probably move De Ligt or Martinez into the Defensive Mid role and then bring in Maguire. They don't have any real midfield substitutes they can trust here but both those guys have played defensive mid before.

And yeah Rashford could come off too.

Mainoo picking up where Casemiro left off

[Senator Clay Davis]

The "Pep intentionally lost the FA Cup Final so United would keep ten Hag" theory continues to grow merit.

ETH football is the gift that keeps giving. What a lost club.

It has been a good day...

Very Spurs.

I was quite happy with the performance today though. We battered them, and if we had Richarlison or Solanke available (a proper 9), we win that in a walk. Sure, the result wasn’t there and that sucks, but there are 9 months to go and I’m optimistic that playing like that gets a lot of wins.

And Arsenal...love him or hate him but Sterling is a really good player.

I think thats a good bit of business.

If Arsenal really want to go for it, having a guy like Sterling available is going to be huge. You'll probably never recoup that transfer fee, but he'll help you win.

Nah, he’s done. Pep knew it and let him go. Chelsea knew it and he wasn’t going to play there.

[Senator Clay Davis]

He is finished as an elite player, but he can still be a solid squad option. And when you consider Arsenal are paying no loan fee and Chelsea are paying half his salary, he has to be a locker room cancer for this to be a bad move for Arsenal.

Well, we can all hope!

Sterling just needs to offer some coverage; especially for Saka. Not ideal that we still haven't signed a true elite striker though.
Even yesterday, that match should have been 2 or 3 to nil before the red card fiasco, but the clinical finishing isn't at the level City or Liverpool have.

Have you seen Darwin? He's like 1 for 10!

The difference is theres Jota (when occasionally healthy) Diaz (when occasionally in form) Gakpo and when all else fails the Egyptian King comes in to save us.

It'd be nice to get a healthy season out of Trent though.

Play Sterling up top and he'll score goals for Arsenal.

Well I can't argue with re-upping Arteta.

He's done a stellar job with Arsenal thus far. I dont think anyone can complain about that.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Never seen a game with so many unstrung passes by Liverpool. Awful performance. Nottingham Forest shut them down.
