Seriously how do you watch SNF/MNF? It starts at like 2am. At least the rest of the games are reasonable.

Maybe the fact that a Football game has like 12 minutes of actual play helps him sleep?

Being an NFL player is like being a Teamster. Just Swarthy, Sweaty men being paid a lot to do very little.

can't, I usually watch those games re-live the next day on DAZN or go for highlights. But DST meant that the second Sunday timeslot was 9 pm instead of 10 pm, which was great.

I long for my college days where I could stay up for NFL and NHL games without repercussions

Don't forget the irreversible brain damage.

Since Buffon isn’t playing is Courtois now the most
overrated keeper in the world?

Courtois still does. Should've stopped that 2nd goal last night.

One of my favourite NFL seasons was when I was going go school in Copenhagen. I never had classes on Monday and we had a common room with a massive projector and sound system, so me and a few friends would just get wrecked every Sunday and stay up watching NFL all night. NFL is actually surprisingly popular with the Danes, so we had a pretty good international mix (Danes, Americans, Canadians, Germans, and Japanese).

Ya know, Fred's reading of opposition passes, dispossession, and tackling is top notch.
Still not perfect at the counter pass, after winning the ball though.

Agreed. That and he sometimes takes an unnecessary extra touch putting himself in trouble.

Perfectly tuned run!

Speaking of VAR, Morata has a hattrick of goals wiped out with VAR offsides.

They're just more solid with Fred and Matic/MacT in front of the back four.

Nice to see a bit of depth on the bench.

This game reinforced the need to dispatch Pogba. He was constantly behind the play, both in attack and defending.

VDB, wasn't amazing but had decent movement. United's best central formation, is Pogba/Fred/Mctominay.


All that talent, let Zidane sort him out. He's surplus.
