Rashford has really taken a next step as a left winger

Man u are a real striker, martial a good player but not best at leading the line, and sancho away from being very very scary

Also the fact that england the next few summers at least are likely going to have 1 of rashford, sterling, or sancho on the bench as a 2nd half sub is such a strength

think Rashford is still a bit rusty after not playing since January. Slowly improving though.

the drop-off from the starters to the backups is a bit concerning. No one expects them to be just as good, but the difference is so big that Ole can't rotate a whole lot. Really can't lose anybody from the first 11 at this point, with Chelsea and Wolves getting results too.

Leicester's going to finish 6th at this rate, they've completely fallen apart.

2 teams are going to luck themselves to safety with this restart, the bottom 5 teams have been beyond atrocious to finish this season up.

Declan Rice is having himself a game. Absolutely bossing the midfield.

Lol, I haven't watched today, but how is Chelsea losing? How in the world did West Ham score three goals? When we played them last week they were inept. We only won 2-0, but it could have been 4-0 without any real stretch and I can't think of an actual chance they generated.

they even scored four. VAR took away their first goal, which was a bit harsh.

perfect day. Didn't expect both Leicester and Chelsea to lose, but here we are. Going to be a hell of a fight between 3 and 6.

thank you, Moysey! Always believed in you

The Chelsea back 4 were horrific. They have done a nice job with the midfield and attack (especially with the 2 additions coming), but the only competent back they have is Chistensen. Alonso is a winger and does not defend. Azpiliquerta was horrific defending today and Rudiger is a back-up. I guess they are hoping James and Tomori can take the next step, and apparently plan to buy Chilwell. I think they have an option on Ake?

ridiculous VAR decision again. I'm a big proponent of VAR in theory, but I'm convinced that those English referees could get all the help in the world and still mess it up. There's no consistency, especially when it comes to handballs.

but yeah, the man is done. Can't even get his teams to defend anymore.

When did they stop handing out yellow cards for putting the ball in the net after the whistle?

You know usually when we say "If it weren't sports he'd be charged with assault", it's usually not that.

yes they can

The finances released in march show they are completely fine, stadium isnt an issue as they refinanced that debt over a 30 year payment period

Their EBITDA was 173m pounds last year

In terms of going forward, they also have the lowest turnover/wages of the big 6, and have risen their revenue above arsenal and chelsea even without matchday revenue, and that's with still not naming their stadium sponsor yet

Liverpool losing before the break was fun for everyone

But its kinda taken the fun out of their games now the rest of the season, without having an invincible season to go for, and no CL, they wre probly just going through the motions to make sure everyones healthy in september for the new season

Hope they give some youngsters some time, like pep has with foden and Garcia

Foden getting a run out and looking like the real deal. Might be a blessing in disguise for England that things got pushed back.
