Not sure whether to measure my drinks by the pint or by the bucket on Sunday.

In your humble opinion. Some of us are not afraid to call it out. If you really enjoyed the game last night then fair dues to you. For me it’s stagnant. I get the injuries situation but this has been happening from early this season. In my humble opinion I don’t enjoy watching it. I am a long term supporter and if you read any of my previous posts they are generally positive.

An open game doesn't suit us, because too much running up and down the pitch will cause new injuries and increase the fatigue. Why play an open game when the only option we have at 6 is Gundo, 34? Doesn't make sense. Also, this "stagnant" football has allowed us to win two trebles and 4 in a row. Had we been non-stagnant like Liverpool, every other season would be a bad one (for our standards).

Have you noted when the ball on the halfway line is played either over the defenders or through the defenders just how far they have to run helplessly to stop the attack. We are wide open and so I don’t see how we are saving energy allowing teams to catch us out when we are often inside the other teams half. I know it’s to try and suppress the other teams attacking ability, but it’s not working..

We are still way too slow.

The latter, sir.

Taylor is Ref and Attwell on VAR. We will get nothing from them in this game.

Rags are 4/1 to win. Looks a good bet.

New manager bounce for them means this will be tough. Also, Amorim showed he has Guardiola's number in the CL recently when his team owned us.

Anyone at this moment in time would take Hojlund over Haaland, Martinez over Dias, Fernandes over KdB......and yes, Amorim over Guardiola.

Rashford will run riot against our defence and we have to hope they don't start Antony as he'll destroy us. Both would walk into our starting 11 right now.

Take 1-1 right now and move on.
