    Enjoyable game buddy.

    Can't beat a late winner m8

    Great for Utd fans. Infuriating I'd imagine everywhere else. Crying behind a smiling mask type of stuff I'd suspect

    Cavani genuinely looks hungry. Nothing better to see players succeed when they are written off

    Same happened to Ibra

    Yeah i think ole has managed Cavani really well, he isn't going to overplay him when he had a game midweek too. Nice calm man mangement from him.

    VAR was excellent today.

    Could United get into the title race?

    Why not? One of Spurs or Chelsea will be top this evening. Very open season. Covid is the big leveller.

    For all Oles faults other managers should take note of how he has dealth with the covid situation and his rotation

    When Ole lit up a few weeks back he aimed it at the correct people and not at BT sports

    Hopefully a good game, lots of goals, no VAR etc would be nice too.

    It should...but I fear it’ll be a bore draw.

    Southampton v Utd game earlier was one of the best games since football came back.

    He started on Tuesday. He's hardly going to do a Klopp and start him a few days later at his age.


    Isn't that the same Solskjaer than ran Rashford into the ground previously?

    Tammy Abraham stikes me as the type of striker who'll hang about a top team for 3/4 years before finding his natural level at West Ham.

    No. Playing Cavani at his age, would be similar to what Klopp did to Milner the past 2 games.

    It's no surprise to me anyway he picked up an injury

    Fairly sure OGS was widely slated by Utd fans for overplaying Rashford. So Cavani will never play 2 games in row for Utd? Interesting, I look forward to that being wrong.

    You're already wrong since he just played 2 games in a row however he won't be starting 2 games in a row often imo.

    Spurs' transitions have been good but final ball weak on a good few occasions. Harry looks sluggish which is unusual for him.

    Chelsea look predictable enough going forward. Disappointing half

    Boring game but Mourinho is doing what he did at United when they finished 2nd. Park the bus against dangerous teams and hope for a through ball or cross on the counter. It's not pretty but it's effective enough since they'll go top at the end of the match.

    Amazing how long Kante was played out of position at Chelsea, they seem infinitely stronger at the back with him marshalling in front of them. The guy cleaned up every title going for a few years in that holding role and then they decided to reinvent him in a more attacking position where he mostly looked a headless chicken week in week out.

    It's also something that we have never been able to do in the past, and it's something a team really needs to have if they want to win anything.

    Exactly, it isn't attractive but it wins trophies/keeps them in the race.
