that sucks, was excited to watch him, probably no World Cup too

Danilo will move over I am guessing, too bad they loaned Maffeo over to Girona, he would have gotten playing time as cover now because Walker will wear down playing twice a week

I wonder what they do outside of that, could move to a back 4 and play Stones there, or keep the back 3, and go super attacking with maybe Sane or Sterling at one spot when one of the fullbacks need a rest

either way, its going to cost them at some point in the league or CL

And now they've apparently lost Aguero for a couple months.

Is that a PT Cruiser?

I think you may be the one United supporter who wants Fellaini kept around.

I don't want to keep him around either. But credit to him, he's played well this season when called upon. He's part of rhe squad, might as well use him.

They need a new coach, they need new ownership and a better backroom but at least a coach or they might be in trouble
Come on down...

Kane, Lukaku, Agüero, Morata ... the current crop of number 9s in the PL is ridiculous.

Kane now has 35 goals in 31 games in 2017. Lukaku has 25 in 28. Agüero has 24 in 33.

Assuming Kane can stay healthy, he's gonna have a good shot at the single season goal record given his absurd form at the moment. Just imagine if he could score in August.

United have needed 3 minutes to carve Palace open. This one could be fun.

Hopefully Big Sam didn't give up his digs in south London, looks like Palace are gonna need him again to pull off his relegation magic off.

Well, West Ham showed no pace and awareness today, but they managed to pull it out of the fire versus Swansea,

I can't imagine a club going seven games without a goal. Dismal.

most predictable result ever. Could have easily scored more, but honestly it never looked like United had to get out of second gear. Palace are simply abysmal, I have no idea how they plan to stay up.

What a goal by De Bruyne. Chelsea have looked very sketchy all game, can't get anything going.

at this point, I'm not sure if Everton are even a top 10 side. They took a page out of the Spurs book of taking the money they got for their star player and spent it on several weaker players, and of course it doesn't work. Also Williams and Schneiderlin look shadows of their former selves, Sigurdsson hasn't settled yet and Rooney is back on the bench. In general just not a very good side, IMO teams like Watford, West Brom and Burnley have looked much better so far this season.

Well if nothing else for Liverpool fans, Coutinho is going to force Barca to pay a huge number to get him when he keeps doing things like that. Very special player.

Edit: And then within 5 minutes, exactly why he'll be leaving lol.

Watford and Burnley in particular look impressive. It's still early of course, but good starts for sure. Everton looks terrible. I do wonder how long Koeman has there? I know you want to be patient, but at the same time they spent a lot of money and brought in players, so they would want results like today. Losing to Spurs and United is probably tolerable under the circumstances, but against lower teams (at least theoretically) I think they would want better.
