Jota benched and Doherty missing as Everton hand Kean and Iwobi starts

Everton take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the penultimate Premier League fixture before the international break.

Goals have been hard to come by for these two sides this season, with no club having scored fewer than the Toffees – although Marco Silva’s side, of course, have played a game fewer than 16 other teams.

Wolves themselves have only hit the back of the net on two occasions, one of which was a stoppage-time penalty from Raul Jimenez (£7.4m) that salvaged a point against Burnley last weekend.

Jimenez starts this afternoon but for once he won’t be joined by his regular striker partner Diogo Jota (£6.4m), who is only among the substitutes.

Jota fails to start a Premier League match for the first time since Gameweek 21 of last season.

Jonny (£5.5m) and Joao Moutinho (£5.5m) are also rotated from the Europa League tie against Torino on Thursday, while Matt Doherty (£6.0m) misses out altogether.

Patrick Cutrone (£5.8m) is handed his first league start for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, while Adama Traore (£5.0m) and Ruben Vinagre (£4.4m) are trusted with the wing-back roles.

After being patient with his new signings so far, Marco Silva gives full league debuts to three of his summer recruits: Moise Kean (£6.8m), Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) and Fabian Delph (£5.4m).

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m), Bernard (£6.5m) and Morgan Schneiderlin (£4.5m) are the men to make way from the Gameweek 3 starting XI but Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) keeps his place at right-back, with Djibril Sidibe (£5.4m) only on the bench.

Lucas Digne (£6.1m), Jordan Pickford (£5.6m), Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m) and Jimenez are the only players on show at Goodison Park who are owned by more than 10% of FPL bosses, with Digne the most-popular option.

While goals have been hard to come by, the ball hasn’t been flying into the net at the other end: no club has kept more Premier League clean sheets than the Toffees (two) this season, while no side has shipped fewer goals than Everton or Wolves (two each) – although they are, of course, a game behind.

Everton XI: Pickford, Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman, Delph, Gomes, Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Kean.

Wolves XI: Patrício, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Traoré, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, Saïss, Rúben Vinagre, Jiménez, Cutrone.

    Lads I don’t care what anyone says

    If you don’t have Digne in your team you don’t understand FPL

      100% agree

      Agreed but you weren’t saying this 5 minutes ago 😉

        That’s because I don’t say it every 5 mins 😉

              As a Digne owner myself you couldn't be more wrong.

                  This is you all over isn't it ? Always have to have the last word and rarely accept that somebody else may have a valid point.

                    Ah bless he’s all worked up again 🙂

                    Take a chill pill bro, all this anger can’t be good for that blood pressure 😉

                      Concisely , logically and explain where the anger is in this comment please. My observations are based on objectivity. Yet again deflection of the issue. You just can't accept that I've got your number.

                        Ah it didn’t take long to trot out the old “you all over” line... anyone would think you’re obsessed 😉

                        Obsession... anger... frustration... all these negative emotions will consume you dear friend

                        Come away from the darkness, come to the light - it’s healthier in the long run 😉

                        Confirmed . Inability to directly address a question and yet again deflection from the point . And the same manner of doing so.
                        I rest my case .

                        But I did address the question?

                        I stated that it didn’t take long to trot out the “you all over” line that you seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession with?

                        Is your screen not refreshing properly again? 😉

                        But you didn't address the question which is quite plain to see.
                        Where is the anger in the comment ? - deflected and not answered.
                        Regarding the "unhealthy obsession" accusation I would be grateful if you could please indicate where I have used the " you all over" line previously with reference to yourself .

                        But the question was where was the anger - and I pointed out where it was? This is quite clear to see dear friend... you know exactly when & where 😉

                        Similarly, I’d wager you know exactly when & where your unhealthy obsession lies 😉

                        Hmmm... I can see you’re struggling a little so i’ll try to help 🙂

                        “Concisely , logically and explain where the anger is in this comment please.”

                        It appears the anger levels were such that the poster temporarily lost grasp on even basic sentence construction 🙁

                        This level of obsession induced anger cannot be healthy - I too wish you a pleasant repose dear friend - try to rest & recover from your exertions 😉

                        I can only feel great sadness that you cannot recognise a simple typo when you see it and choose to leap to the conclusion that it is an anger issue. Additionally regarding anyone who questions anything you say, you seem to automatically label them as having an obsession.
                        Maybe you would be better addressing your main problem of being immersed completely up your own backside.
                        Poor fellow.

                        Ah I can see these anger levels seem to have continued unabated through your repose dear friend - now this is a worrying development 🙁

                        This negativity will consume you if you let it - I would recommend a hearty dose of proper rest relaxation to settle yourself and perhaps recover from your exertions

                        You'll feel all the better for it 😉

                        I give you until the end of the season to attempt to extricate your head from your bottom, although sadly this will probably prove to be way insufficient time. You will most likely based on previous experience reply with the usual nonsense similar to above as you will undoubtedly need to have the last word , consistent with every other conversation.
                        I wish you the best of luck in the quest for you to realise that you are not always correct but rather suspect this is a futile hope.

                        My sincerest apologies, I didn’t even see that I had so rudely missed this truly exquisite 2 day delay reply 🙂

                        Have you perhaps calmed down any? Based on your activity in the interim it appears the opposite is the case unfortunately 😉

      If you truly believe this then why didnt you say it 10 minutes ago. You were obviously on here and watching the game

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve advocated Digne - it gets tiring sometimes - he’ll just keep doing this all season

        But definitely no better time to ram it vigorously down the throats of salty non owners than when he pops up with another sweet, sweet attacking return 😉

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          A little touchy perhaps ?
          Brosstan makes a very good point which you dismiss rather than answer. You are very good at deflecting criticism without ever taking any of it on board.

            • 14 Years

      Happy I sold 30.min before deadline, Perez also went out of my team, that is the main positive for this gw I reckon.

        I sold both for Pukki and Mount. So far I'm down by -2.

      Did people think that wolves were selling Jimenez? Can’t understand why anyone would buy a striker so far behind the main man, after Wolves had just bought a replacement too, on top of the Europa League distraction, and never impressing in the Premier League

        • 7 Years

        Not sure you played FPL last season but Jota was out performing Jimenez the last half of it. It’s not as black and white as you’re making it out to be.

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years

          In about 3 matches. I’m sure he looked like of those strikers that just struggle to score in the Prem, that falls over in front of an open goal or hits both posts and you feel really sorry for, yet will grab a brace against MK Dons in the cup

        Look at the stats from the second half of last season and you’ll immediately see why.

            • 9 Years

            Fewer hits from the bong might sort the short term memory. 😉

    3. SADIO SANÉ

      I agree to an extent, but Pukki (GW2) and Haller (GW4) did have prime fixtures whilst he didn't

          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Keep seeing stuff like this - if you wouldn't buy the player you should at least consider selling them - you don't just have to keep people because you already have them (I know that these things can go either way)

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ye God's there's two of them now...

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Knob Central

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That's the name of the club my mate met his husband!

      2. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure how all these FPL heroes manage to get professional contracts but fair play to them I suppose.

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

      4. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I agree slouchy and pumpkinhead are very similar

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No grav or Year infront of your name. Lie all you want but you're one of us casuals mate

  5. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Less than 2 hours until Kane gives us all something to think about 😉

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Big doubt

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        ?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Never again for me after last week. If I can’t confidently Captain an 11.0 at home to Newcastle, they don’t deserve to be in my squad

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This!

      2. Olivier Bernards watch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        by this logic, we should also presumably all sell sterling after yesterday

        1. Olivier Bernards watch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          (definitely not advocating Kane btw)

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I said confidently. Spurs were abysmal. It’s extremely unlikely that Sterling doesn’t score any points in a 4 goal route. That’s the anomaly rather than Kane blanking at home to a deep lying defensive team which has become the norm

      3. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This

      4. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This. Never again

      5. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He should have got that pen, had he did that's a goal and 3 bonus

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      That he should be reclassified as a mid?

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Think about new ways to say he's crap?

    5. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Either way I'm getting rid

    6. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      *Son and Pepe

    7. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sold for Aguero. Hoping for a nice farewell brace for the memories

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen starting should be good for Kane & Son...

    If they can just get rid of Lamela now it’ll improve their attack immensely

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kane starting isn’t good for kane though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Well he’s got this game and palace and if he’s still in cart horse mode there are plenty of other strikers who would bloody love a slot in my team

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Was lucky I got Aguero as a 1 week punt before WC this week. Auba sitting in my premium attack spot currently however may downgrade to Wilson/Rashy to get Pepe if he looks better

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lamela to Moura is the obvious 70m sub

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking Lamela also due an injury, he rarely strings this many appearances together

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The main question is whether Eriksen motivated enough? Ideally, it should but let's see how he performs today.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Ah I’m sure he is, hopefully he channels any negativity he’s harbouring about still being at spurs in a constructive manner

        1. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hope so too. Will make Spurs assets exciting again!

  7. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    1 bonus point for Digne in a 3-2 win. He is FPL gold!

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Jiménez 6 dispossessions for those asking

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The guy is an FPL superstar in the making

      That’s his 100th point in 2019 (20 games)

      Coleman close behind on 97 (18 games)

    3. aborg
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You sure?

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Siggy ahead too though now

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How did that happen!?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          1 dispossession for Siggy too though

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            No dispossessions for Digne?

    5. twoplustwo

      Is this real?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        According to members area

        1. twoplustwo

          Thanks mate, fingers crossed

          1. twoplustwo
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            That is decent

            Cheers chaps

  8. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Should follow my gut feeling more often. Not sure why did I end up Cantwell instead of Richarlison

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Because he costs 3.5 less?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah and was on the scout pics

    2. Athletic Nasherbo

      Anderson over him for me

    The Hindu Monkey - Bowstring Carp battle is heating up.

    Monkey vs Carp, like an episode of Animal Fight Club in Nat Geo xD.

      People who care about twitter bollocks are already on twitter.

    2. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Is that what goes on on Twitter? Embarrassing if they’re over the age of 21.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Twitter is all about arguing who is the most offended and the biggest victim. Cesspool of the internet.

    FPL Chef having a banging WC week. 87 pts, and thats before Iwobi and Digne played.
    Fair play.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Who?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Haha, to be fair a lot of people in the higher ups of Scout have had a few less than amicable interactions with him, but meh, not too bothered by his attitude. Plays a brave game, I'll give him that.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Does he make food? FPL "Chef"?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He actually cooks, to be fair. He made a few cooking vids on youtube a while back.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Just got lucky with Aguero, rest of team is template

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He doesnt have Sterling, how is that template?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          He's gone Aguero over Sterling.... That's it?

  11. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison (57)
    Iwobi (30)
    Digne (24)

    Siggy and Jimenez hit by deductions for dispossessions. Bily hit by deduction for a RC.

    1. Valar(Keith)

      😎

    2. THFC4LIFE

      Digne is a lovely man

    3. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years

      Fantastic!!!!

    4. Tshelby
      • 9 Years

      Digne what a player

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne had an awful game lol

    6. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne couldn't handle traore at all, had one decent cross and got an assist...love it! 🙂

    7. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      will take that!

      he played awful though

    8. Crazygopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Just watched the match. If Iwobi plays more often I would get rid of digne. Every time Iwobi got the ball he passed inside. Digne made loads of runs. But was ignored. Bernard came on ball down the wing. Digne cross. Rich goal. I would say Digne was frustrated by Iwobi.

  12. FOO FIGHTER

    Right now I am enjoying having my double Pool defence of TAA and VVD 🙂

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      only ones who got me any points

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Considering it

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Had them from the start. Not getting rid. They are staying for the long haul. Boom!

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      Adrian, Salah, Firmino is where it’s at 😉

  13. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Iwobi a horrible partner for Digne. Have not passed the ball back to him once...

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yup whereas Bernard is basically there to make Digne look good

      • mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Digne to do a Mane?

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe Everton finally realized that playing the ball to Digne only for him to repeatedly cross to no one is not a winning strategy

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Working for TAA

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Liverpool repeatedly have players running behind the defense. Everton doesnt.

      • Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Traore working Digne

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        same front 4 started midweek and everyone was waxing lyrical about Digne's attacking threat

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Always avoid players from team like Wolves and Burnley last season.

      Some people never learn.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not at all, I have no bias towards either team

      2. Midlands Saint73
        • 6 Years

        Have a plus 1 for that 🙂

      • 6 Years

      I know I was bit worse for wear in the morning but pretty sure I've heard on TalkSport that this might be Pochettinho's last game in charge of Spurs.

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is he going to United by any chance?

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Would love it if he joins tbh. Poch needs a big club

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        You did but it’s bollox

      3. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years

        Adrian Durham on talksport once did an entire show on how Jimi Hendrix was overrated.

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not a fan of him

            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            He's better than Darren " call me Darren" Gough and that bumbling obese idiot Danny Kelly

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            He is a complete, utter tool
            (Durham, that is)

      4. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Poch already said its a rubbish rumor

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Probably is but then again dont really trust what managers say these days.

      5. DAZZ

        Stopped reading at ‘talksport’

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          If can be a laugh at times to he fair. The show that Jason Cundy is on is good fun at times. Wouldn't call it serious journalism though.

    5. Manani
      • 12 Years

      jota replacement?

      got about 6.6m

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Barnes or cheap Awey?

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Ayew from Palace, Wesley maybe, not many options tbh

      3. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I’m just priced out of Barnes too. I may consider Wood and hope his form improves over the easier fixtures

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I think this is a very good idea, maybe his turn now after Barnes did his part already.

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Could be yeah! I mean he got a goal yesterday so his confidence is up 😆

    6. Pique and De Bruyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted to try and squeeze Aguero into this.

      Pope
      VVD / Digne / AWB
      Sterling / Salah / KDB / Mount
      Barnes / Pukki / Haller

      Stek / Lund / Cantwell / Montoya

      Someone talk me off the ledge!

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Hard to get him in with that structure

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Unledd you sell Salah or Sterling that is

      2. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You'd pretty much have to lose Salah or Sterling so absolutely not worth it.

          Stunning advice.

            Game after game, Poch benches Moura. Completely shocking! Don't know what the poor lad needs to do to earn a start. Its amazing how Moura still manages to keep his motivation and professional up. Pogba needs to learn from Moura!

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I genuinely feel sorry for him. Scores a hattrick in CL semi final and it’s still not good enough.

            2. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              He was awful last game, didnt take his guilt edged chances. Son is a better player. Its between Moura and Lamela for the last attacking spot and Lamela does a better defensive pressing job against better sides like Arsenal.

          James, maddisson or mount?

          And why?

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            james maddison, or mount

          2. Four Hit Wonder
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I'd choose Mount as a punt over Madd who will surely get his numbers.

            James isn't a very good player, he's just ambitious, but people can't score from his rushed crosses. Great shooter though.

            1. Four Hit Wonder
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Take into account that Utd find it very very difficult to score. No goals, no FPL points.

              Chelsea are at least gung ho.

        • EMBOLOFAN

        • jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          If the score stays like this it will be perfect for non-owners!
          On another note, neither of these teams are going to break into the top six anytime soon imo. Leicester look a superior team to both so far.
          Cutrone catching the eye though, looks a quality striker in the making!

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Chelsea look just as bad. Fight for 6th is wide open

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I think Man U are favourites for 6th.

              1. Ambrosiana Inter
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Man U fav for 16th

                1. Nightcrawler
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  We'll have 16 premier league titles b4 we get there

              2. Nightcrawler
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Top 4 easy for us. Of the London sides only spurs maybe have a chance to get over us but unlikely

                1. George Sillett
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  No chance under OGS . Defence is still poor and no consistency. Man C , Liverpool well clear , Spurs and Arsenal next , well clear of the rest. Leicester , Everton Utd in battle for 5th.

        • diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          After today, Arsenal have a great run of fixtures through to GW16. They have an easy EL group. They should be get at least 27pts from that fixture run if they are serious about making top 4.

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Lol no chance 5th at best. Nowhere near spurs and utd

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Spurs, yes. But Utd have lost to Palace and drawn with Southampton. Chelsea are rubbish too. It is tight for 4th spot IMO.

              1. Qaiss
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Arsenal will finish 3rd comfortably. United and Chelsea could drop below Leicester/Wolves. Man united have a p.e teacher in charge and Chelsea appointed a guy who managed derby for a year

                1. Four Hit Wonder
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  True, but Emery is no better.

                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Emery who’s won plenty of trophies is no better than a P.E. Teacher? Right then!

                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  arsenal don't have the mentality. Utd are too big a club to miss out on ucl again and with ole building a young squad you'll have to do with europa for a while

            2. Qaiss
              • 8 Years

              Surely bait? United are wack and Spurs are... well spurs.. you’re about to see in the next couple hours why we are going to finish above them

                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  A guy who thinks Rashford is one of the best young strikers in the world shouldn’t even pipe up. You should enjoy your p.e. Teacher in charge and put YouTube on and get some tissues out and watch United when Ferguson was there because that’s all you have to hold on to 🙂

                    Mate arsenal have been irrelevant since viera left.

                    You won't even find utube videos for when you were a big club. Like I said just hold for an hour or two maybe ull need the tissues to wipe the Tears off. GGMU

          Pukki is in Top 5 for top transfers out, it’s incredible how some people expect a mid-priced striker to score every single game.
