      He's such a dud pick, yet such a fuss made over him. Take out the Leeds haul and he's not even on the first page of top defenders.

        The time to get on Arsenal was the first six games of the season, despite barely any creators having a single player of theirs. It was a perfect set of fixtures for defenders.

        I don't see more than one in two clean sheets over the next batch of games.

    No creativity at all from that United line up
    Cunha carrying load of burden
    Maybe crossing galore from Dorgu or Dalot is the plan

    Moyes is such a childish muppet. Why not just tell us?

    Moyes on Keane and Alcaraz: "I'm not going to tell you what the injuries are, but obviously they're both missing the game, so we’re disappointed because it adds to quite a big number at the moment [of players we have out]."
