So good meal and wine in the VIP lounge at Old Trafford but a very average game. McTominy was the best player on the park, read the game well won the 2nd balls all day. DCL played well for Everton no violence and no diving either Zargie, I liked what I saw from him. I cannot say the same about Martial the diving he indulged in was disgusting should have picked up a yellow card or 5 for simulation. Great instinctive finish from Greenwood and Rashford looked dangerous all day. Davies in mf for thr toffees also looked quality but too many average players on both sides.

Only moment of real drama was post game during the port and cheese as they had Arse vs Citeh on the telly and I got a little excited when Citeh scored in the 2nd minute as I for got where I was.

Good day out all in all and no prawn sandwiches in sight...

I'm not so sure we'll win at their ground, last time we played there we played poorly, luckily we played Spurs rather than Athletico. City should be fine though, they are the bookmakers favourites and by February I imagine Laporte will be back and their defensive issues will just be a bad memory.

Bournemouth smacked Chelsea last weekend, was a bit of a shock all round, they will come looking for blood this weekend.
Hope Eriksen does go, taking Aurier and Wanyama with him....oh and Rose.

How did Bournemouth manage that? I assume they had the groundskeeper playing with their current injury list.

I expect you were safe though. That reminded me of times going to Bristol Rovers away games, standing in the Holt end or just anywhere at Milwall and keeping emotions in check.

yeah I was fine as most of the yernited fans were only 5 foot 2 and I don't understand Korean

It was a decent result for us considering we barely had any midfielders and not many players total. Holgate was playing CM, and to be fair he did a great job. We also had Cuco Martina and Oumar Niasse on the bench, such was our lack of players.

Tom Davies is one of those players who when they are good they are very good, but he hasn't really had much of a chance to prove it the last couple of seasons, but with the lack of other options, he is taking his opportunity really well. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Moise Kean, who came to the club with really high expectations, but it looks like he isn't prepared to put in the work required to make it at this level. DCL was good as usual, even when he viciously killed DDG on our goal. Playing two up front really helps to get the best from his game.

As for Red Manc, they really weren't anything special. Greenwood looks a decent player, and Rashford had a few chances, but I think a draw was a fair result.

Garbatellamike

yeah agree all that, your point was fully deserved

Hearing rumours that Ancelotti is the next Everton manager.

Also Arteta is the new Arsenal manager.

If both are true, it could be interesting. From what I hear Pep thinks Spud is a ready to be a manager at a top team. But he's going to Arsenal instead.

Garbatellamike

well I hope he stays with us but if he wants to step down 3 or 4 levels Citeh won't stand in his way.

Do many Koreans make the trip from Croydon for Utd home games?

i think starting low is a good thing.

Have you seen Serie A is using monkeys for their anti-racism posters? You can't make this shit up.

Genuine lol.

Genuine what the mighty ****. I saw this scrolling this morning. They honestly wonder why they have a problem and get a shit load of abuse for being a nation of racists. It's utterly beyond me. Scum.
