It's a bit of a shame for you that SA are a bit rubbish at Rugby, as you are bound for disappointment. Esp if Enhland win it.

Which opportunities did he miss against Liverpool? He scored with a great first touch and finish with more or less his only chance.
Stipermann missed a couple, if that is what you were thinking of?

At least he didn't lie, like that time Balotelli didn't fancy the cold on an away tie in Russia, and came off saying it was the 'wrong type of grass' giving him a reaction or something.

Hope the agent didn't get his commission. Surely even a footballer would have the sense to look at where he's going to play and failing that someone could have told him it gets a tad nippy in Sweden. Not even winter yet over there

I guess he had never experienced proper cold before. Let's say he'd never left Africa in his life, someone offers you a contract and says it will be cold over there, you think "I'm sure I can handle that". Before getting over there and realising he can't hack it.

He should have joined a club in Greenland!

Really impressed with the back line at man united this season
De gea we all know is a very good keeper
Shaw before his injury was one of the most exciting young players around..
Maguire has always impressed me
Lindolph I have always thought a player was in there just needs a partner
Wan baisse was class last season
3/5 of them English, so playing together week in week out helps everyone

As I said a while back, I can't think of many better back fives in the Prem ............................. if any!

I’d argue Liverpool’s back 5 are better
But after them citeh are either level or worse than those 5

One back line in the Prem is the best in Europe - and it’s not United’s

Liverpool's back 5 have looked pretty dodgy this season so far. Left-side of Robertson and VVD is the best in the world, but the right side has been a shambles. City's strongest back 5 of Ederson, Laporte, Stones, Walker/Cancelo and Mendy is the best in the league.
Think DDG, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire and Shaw are all excellent but still not convinced by Lindelof. He's solid for large parts of games but still has those super dodgy moments in games (like he did when he completely miscued one tonight) that make him a liability. Think that back-5 have a lot of potential though, Maguire looks an excellent signing.
Everton's defence is low-key up there with the best in the league, or it has been in 2019 so far anyway. Not conceded at home in the league since the start of Feb, 2nd fewest goals conceded from Open Play since Jan, 2nd most clean sheets in 2019 and no goals conceded in the 2 games to start this season. Silva's done an excellent job turning our defence around this calendar year after a dodgy end to 2018.
Also, so dumb Pogba taking that pen instead of Rashford. Pogba's recent record is pretty dreadful and Rashfords penalty last week was so good.

I think Liverpool and Citys defence are closer than most Pool fans would accept. VVD does take them a notch above though. City dont get tested nearly as much with the quality of their midfield (offensively and defensively) so not black and white to judge. I'd still take 2, possibly even 3 from City in a composite back 5.
TAA should really be a midfielder. Makes the same errors defensively against good wingers and signs Klopp doesn't trust him in certain games already. He's technically exceptional, arguably their best so he should be on the ball as much as possible. Especially as their midfield isn't exactly full of technical ability. Pep would almost certainly be playing him as a midfielder by now.
United have been so poor at the back for so long that it's easy to see why the fans are getting excited this year - the 2 signings plus a fit Shaw is a huge improvement, but time will tell if they can form a partnership over a season. Even then it's not got the quality of the above 2, but potential to be level with Spurs on that front.

City and Liverpool’s defence is very close - very , and for me it’s just VVD that edges it
I can certainly see what you say about TAA but the way Liverpool play he is virtually a winger/midfielder anyway , a lot of his covering is done by the likes of Fabinho etc but that’s not fluid at the moment.
In a composite of the back 5
It’s a close choice for the GK for most but Alisson has been key for us
Left back imo there is a clear winner in Robbo same with VVD at CB
The other two places - Laporte at the moment but if Gomez gets back up to form that’s a close call
And at right back - Walker or TAA - Walker would prob shade it for most
But I don’t see any UTD player getting into either back line with the exception of maybe Shaw at City

Ederson, TAA, Laporte, VVD, Robertson for me.
