Spurs will probably end up with Potter, and that's not even necessarily a bad thing. I think he's quality.

[devo22]

yeah Potter is a great shout, that'd be a really good hire IMO.

Simply pointing out Kane should’ve done better.

Ah, my bad. Sounded like you were lamenting the loss.

Milan quicker and more active, and I can't say I'm surprised.

What's so "stupid" about it? Who would you have brought on?

Pogba with an immediate impact!

Actually i like the diamond sub of Pogba for Rashford better. Plus, with Ibby coming on in about 20 minutes, allows us to better defend.

Matic, Telles, Amad, Tuanzebe ... those were all on the bench and Solskjaer could have easily rotated a bit to keep the team fresh. Way too late substitutions are a theme with him, and not making a single substitution when your team is dead tired makes little sense to me. It's an area that irks me when it comes to Ole, not going to lie.

smart finish by Pogba.

I was talking about Sunday's game.

[devo22]

me too ^^

[cam_wmh]

Oh jeez, double sub -- both will wanna score against their former club

I agree that he's often frustratingly slow on making substitutes when things aren't working. No argument there.

However on Sunday I didn't see the need. They were comfortable. Matic would may have invited WH onto them when they were offering nothing and surely you remember the fiasco when he brought Tuanzebe on against Everton to protect a 3-2 lead? He can't be trusted. Anyways agree to disagree. They didn't get stretched on Sunday.

Both of these linesmen are garbage.

I get it. Just thought it was unnecessary to have the first XI on for the full 90 between the Milan games, especially when Rashford clearly still isn't healthy and it seems the many games are taking a toll on the likes of Bruno. And West Ham was so timid I felt a couple of subs wouldn't have done any harm.

[cam_wmh]

Great save, last game that went in though.

[devo22]

Zlatan's making me nervous man.

Mocking applause for the United end, Linesman. Guy's a mess.

[cam_wmh]

You guys see Pogba's run back to cover Dalot? That's not common for him.

[cam_wmh]

Ya know, i was thinking of time wasting with a sub now too.

But there's nobody I want off, for anyone on the bench.

Aw dang, Prague knocked out SlippyG. That would've been fun.

Just been reading that Scotland finish the season 11th in EUFA coefficient ranking meaning Slippy qualifies directly for the CL group stages next year.
