Premier League 21/22

Nothing pleases me more than a United loss. Chuffed.

So glad they lost and didn’t score that last min goal, sucks that my FPL team is so heavily reliant upon them.

Great results. Fuck United and fuck Fernandes.

Fuck Fernandes indeed but it’s great they have him - he’s not elite yet he’s hyped up. He’s not a player to take them to the very top and therefore is blocking a spot for someone who could.

Just seen that he was telling Ronaldo that he should be the one taking it 😆

Absolutely. Similar with Ronaldo tbh. He's obviously still a great goal poacher, but with their money, and with their reputation being somewhat enhanced recently, you couldn't rule out Haaland going there. Hopefully Ronaldo is there for a couple of years and stops that from happening.

I was about to say regarding Ronaldo, Ricky. I think it's a mistake by United to bench Rashford, who's a better player than Ronaldo in the present although he's not a better goalscorer. I think the only one Rashford doesn't offer advantages over in United's front four from today's lineup is Pogba, and they don't compete for the same positions anyway.

Should have drew last week as well. But we need them to not have too many bad results if not they will rid of Ole.

Jorginho is incredible. Him and Kante partnership is so good.

Can't believe Lampard tried to force him out. A year later he's been instrumental in winning both Champions League and the Euros.

Shows what a good manager can do to players. What a waste we couldn't get him here, think Arteta as bad a manager he is would absolutely build his team around Jorginho and that would elevate us 2 levels.

Klaus

On a second look I think Rashford might be injured, because he wasn't on the bench either.

Probably had Ronaldo in his FPL team

Lukaku has been in donkey mode today. His touch has been woeful all game long.

Really?

He carried that team on his back to 2nd last year.

Pretty much, he's still amongst the top 10 players in the world whether he's at Juventus, playing for Portugal or now at United.

Chelsea are so boring and conservative it's unreal. Tuchel is such a disappointment to me. I don't care that he won the Champions League, I really thought when he was at Dortmund that he was going to create some great teams playing progressive, innovative football. His teams at PSG and now Chelsea are just so boring and workmanlike.

We are worse to watch, and without any sort of results whatsoever.

Huh? Didn’t we win the fa cup like 14 months ago lol? Do trophies not count as “any sort of result whatsoever”? Interesting.

Cornet scores a great volley. Interesting player.

It depends what you're judging on. I don't agree he's one of the best players in the world any more, he's a couple of levels below where he was just two years ago.

And I didn't watch Juve last year, but with the talent they have relative to everyone else, it doesn't seem right to say Ronaldo carried them.

Klaus

I think Captain was talking about Bruno. Juventus finished 4th in Serie A last year, and only barely. Napoli screwed everything up on the final match day.

I'm judging him on his technique, mentality, consistency and ability to deliver in key moments.

That's not accurate - it may have been the season before but last season was particularly challenging for Juventus since they had Pirlo running things. More to the point, have a look at how Juventus are doing right now in Serie A for a comparison. They've won 1 game out of 5. For sure they have plenty of talent but that's not the only thing that decides games.

Plus he carried Portugal too - top scorer at the Euros.
