      Tempting but you’d want to bring in Palmer and he has tough game at arsenal next GW. Reckon WC after next GW and lose United players then. Bruno to Cherki this week most likely.

      They would have finished top if the season started when Carrick came in.

      Didn't expect them to be this bad against two promoted teams...

      they recruited really poorly, i dont understand when they have mainoo they went out and bought 2 players that play the same position. that ederson deal falling through seems to really have hurt them badly

    How did Brobbey look??

    I've really bitten on the hype for him but no returns this match not good then subbed out and goal came from others. Prob should have went DCL as with most.

    Anyway, did he threaten or have chances? Spot under threat now...

      he was alright and did the hard yards battling with andersen and bassey, but sunderland didnt offer much attacking wise when he was on the pitch so maybe abit unfortunate today

      Have experts in football ever?

      My thinking was a team of players who did not go to the WC so had a rest and had something to prove. Paper, MGW, Foden, Pedro. I was surprised with the lack of those, some had none of the three in midfield.
