Mid table and lower teams are often featured early doors as Sky / BT like to keep games with the big teams to show later in the season i.e. the title run in.

I said the same to Mrs Vienna.
She replied that will be OK, as long as I don’t crash the car, when the ref awards the rags a dodgy penalty.

Nope.
They're back, haven't you heard?
Corner turned.
Back on track.
Consolidation season completed and a resounding success.
Second most successful team in the country at the moment.
Top four in the bag.
Brand spanking new tax payer super duper stadium incoming.
Zebra pants back in the wardrobe.
This is manches nytid we're talking about.
SCUM.
WTFAMu.

As you were Blues.
Hopefully they struggle at Brighton.
Brighton will press them relentlessly, and are also really good at bypassing a press too (and United tend to be able to keep up their counter-pressing for a while before they tire).
Brighton really could run them ragged. They have good, intelligent, technical and tactically-adept players who can really play through the lines and expose the flaws in whatever this system is that United are trying to play (like I say, right now, it looks a very weak imitation of Klopp's style at Liverpool's best).
Hopefully Brighton administer a beating anyway. I still maintain that United were fortunate against Fulham despite what xG said (it can be a flawed metric sometimes, and is more useful over a period of time than in one-off games). Fulham showed enough to tell us that the rags' weaknesses are still there. Just need some teams to expose them.

It would appear that the rags have been gazzumped by Fulham:
Of course, the stories about Berge going to the swamp could have clickbait bullshit.

They were making videos about what an excellent player he was - they didn't care about him three weeks ago then their fans started going on about how he was perfect for them based on some very misleading YouTube tactical analysis videos.It would appear that the rags have been gazzumped by Fulham:

Very strange behaviour to talk up every single player who is linked (they do the same with de Ligt for example). You know if these players were going to Liverpool they'd have a very different opinion. I expect their fans will stop talking about Berge now he is going to Fulham.
No disrespect to Berge, but mid-table is probably his maximum level. He wasn't likely to be good enough for a team vying for top four (as United probably see themselves as).
