Yep. Duffy has gone back this season and was playing great passes out last week, he flopped at Celtic but Potter can still get him playing good stuff.

Bissouma having a great game for Brighton.

Intent is key. Potter's teams have that, without a lot of quality.

He's great, don't know why so many here were turning their nose up at him. Just what we need.

If Brighton get a decent striker before the window closes they could push for a Europa spot.

We don't need as much technical soundness in that spot with Ode now. Just go get him, send Elneny out and make Xhaka rotation.

Case in point there about them needing a striker.

Now we have Odegaard, Bissouma makes a lot of sense.

Edit: what qs! said.

Agree. It's surprising that no bigger club has shown more interest in him.

Bet he ends up at Spurs

Oh my days. That's hilarious.

brilliant

Is that from some film?

one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Just look at where the ball goes from Dele's last touch. The boy stopped playing football to focus on his simulation. This is a trash league.

Southampton locking down Greenwood, one of the primary outlets and then winning it high up to score. Bruno on his ass, Ché Adams with a neat finish.

Fred and Matic are rubbish. Surprised United haven't signed a good CM. McTomminay is better but still fairly average.

Fred has been so garbage Q. Even though he's somewhat ambidextrous I didn't know his passing could be this bad. I actually used to think he was decent. I'm surprised as well but can understand why they have been linked with Neves, Ndidi, Camavinga etc.

Not sure! got the Southampton-Man United game on in the background. Theres an angle not in that clip thats the most damning of all. Unfortunate that Tony Adams on the Setanta sports panel thinks theres not much controversy about it.

Alli falls like his hamstring closes up mid run. Joke league

Troy Deeney was right when he dragged him. He said that every time Fred gets the ball Watford always go up in press against United because he needs three touches to control it. That's the flag they set on the field, and you can see Southampton does the same thing today.

At Arsenal you've seen opponents do the same to us in the past whenever Guendouzi got on the ball. These bumblers don't belong at top level.

Makes it all the more ludicrous given they came out before the season and said that contact would no longer automatically constitute a penalty, citing examples of penalties given last year where there was significantly more contact than in this scenario.

I didn't watch the Liverpool game but I understand old Mike Dean decided to use the 'let the game flow' guidance by awarding numerous free kicks (i.e. not letting the game flow) but not awarding any yellow cards. 

The PL is almost unwatchable with these referees.

It's the problem with making goals so bloody precious. When you empower a group of egomaniacal incompetents to essentially determine the outcome of games, they're going to take it and try to never give it back. Penalties are so ludicrously powerful because goals from open play have become so difficult to score. So many advantages given to defenders (except Arsenal's).

Greenwood will be a star. Kind of jealous of United.

F*ckin Traore. in all alone and cant score. Meh

Dude has scored 7 goals in six seasons of premier league football.

Woeful is an understatement when it comes to his goal scoring / finishing ability as an attacker.

That's why I literally haven't seen a single minute of anything so far bar our game v Brentford.

Officiating, in addition to the awful, robotic nature of football(ers) have sucked all the fun out of the sport.

There needs to come a tipping point for wider (European) football.

United getting 7 minutes of injury time to find a winner. Ends 1-1.
Spurs are annoying , Nuno will get them points.

Spurs cheated their way to a win against Wolves, they're poor. Without Kane they'll fall apart. Should be an easy St.Totts but probably wont be.

There’s a key factor in Spurs favour - their manager is better than ours.

West Ham is a decent team. Antonio is such a terrific option up front.
