    If it’s a recurrence of the previous groin injury for Palmer, I don’t think we’ll see him before the next international break.

      Definitely motivated by that fact.

      He’s interpreted it as pulling and preventing a dangerous attack, so technically not too wrong but completely out of touch. Not sure it’s even a foul.

      I actually disagree it's a clear yellow it's these challenges that mug down the game players cannot be held up in this manner stopping a clear rush.

      If you give just a foul, it's nothing. Will happen again and again to stop play.

      Looking at differentials in the midfield and honestly I feel like Doku is one that is being slept on.

      Even with the roulette I feel has has firmed up his position and should start most matches and play in all matches.

      Last few performances has looked like if not City's best player and threatening going forward when he has the ball.

                  Gudmundsson | Milenkovic | VdV
                  Salah | Bruno | Semenyo | Grealish
                  Watkins | Ekitike | JP

                  Dubravka, Reijnders, Tosin, Esteve

                  Definitely not good enough for a BB, but whom to bench of the attackers?

                  Cole Palmer has been injured since before the CWC. They’ve been giving him pain injections to play. Nothing bad showed up on the scans but he’s had continuous discomfort in his groin and it’s not gone away.

                    What to do now though, Brighton at home next and he scored 4 in that fixture last season…

                      Groin issues are notoriously tricky, right?

                    United striker Benjamin Sesko had seven touches in the first half, one more than Estevao Willian who was subbed off for Chelsea in the sixth minute.

                      I don't think any team in PL has a worse striker than Man U.
