We shipped out 4 midfielders, which is a lot of pressure for the new guys. We did have a lot of deadwood to move, but I would’ve wanted to see another incoming or two to bolster things. That said, we have a backup for every position, aside from Kane. Conte seems to think Son or Bergwijn can fill that role though, so we’ll see how it goes.

Kulusevski has played up top for Sweden too
No Europe and only FA Cup left though, so Kane will start every game I imagine as long as healthy

Speaking of the FA Cup, it’s not being shown this weekend because Sportsnet has the Olympics and NHL All Star game on all of their estimated 10 channels? At least from what I could see?
No idea why they couldn’t “only” show those on say 3 channels and put a game or two on one of the other Sportsnet channels.

Not sure where it went wrong.

Pretty pleased with that Transfer Window overall.
Luis Diaz looks very promising and it seems they also signed Fabio Carvalho who will join next season which surely promises many 'Fabio' jokes.

I thought the Fabio deal didn’t get done in time though? Still time for someone to swoop in and screw Liverpool!

Steve Hitchen has left Tottenham to become the DoF at Everton! I'm so happy with that, as its good news for us. This has to be a positive for Locke, as Everton was already in shambles and now having him there will only exacerbate their woes!

I look upon Everton similarly to how Arsenal fans look upon Spurs. By hardly giving them a thought.
Sure, I take pleasure in Lucy consistently pulling the Football away but for the most part I rarely think about Everton at all.
When we play them I want Liverpool to destroy them, beyond that they generally take care of their woes all by themselves.

Soo...no Greenwood for United today then?
Quote:
Manchester United have written to supporters offering to replace any replica shirts with Mason Greenwood's name on the back.
"We can confirm that United Direct and adidas customers who purchased a Manchester United shirt that was personalised with Greenwood's name and number, have the opportunity to exchange it for this season's home shirt personalised with another player's name without charge."

Probably a good idea.

Its like when you wake up with a hangover and swear that you'll never drink again.
Until next weekend.

There's a classic example of a rule problem.
A clear handball missed by Taylor.
But Var can't call it back as he didn't score directly. System is supposed to be in place to help refs but in this case it it can't.

Rule problem or not how do you miss that in real time? It wasn't even close.

despite all of this, United really only have themselves to blame. Should have already been up multiple goals when the handball happened. Missed pen, woodwork, numerous good chances ... no excuses really.

His hand was in a perfectly natural position and the ball came right at him. I'm completely making this up because I'm not watching this game.
