To be fair we've had Haller up top. Looked like he was running in toffee.

It does raise an interesting point. We've not had penalties as we have no players who can perform unnatural movements to make sure they get tapped and then dive 10 yards. But we are very strong from set pieces and constantly get manhandled in the box. To the point where our big boys can't jump half the time.

Why has VAR taken fast sprinting dives to the extreme, but completely ignored players grappling an attacker going for a header?

I find it's Bowen and fornals affect

Bowen seems to want to shoot from outside or float one in, same with fornals he floats the cross like he did for the goal yest

Need players to run into box but also go down. Bowen I think is too honest he will stay on his feet. Not a bad thing but doesn't get you pens
 
I see that Carragher has had a little pop at Man Utd saying that they are back on top because of the amount of penalties they have been awarded this season...

"it's an extraordinary amount of penalties that Manchester United have had this season".

In the PL this season Man Utd have been awarded 6 penalties. Liverpool have been awarded 5. Hardly a massive difference there.
Could come back to bite him if Liverpool win today ..by a penalty.
The Neville can sling it back at him and it'll actually be true....
 
All set up today. Im nervous Liverpool will come out of the blocks quick and over run our defense. Pains me to say it, but , the City game proved we're not at the level to beat Liverpool and win the league. I cant see Utd getting anything out of this game, I'll still be watching from behind the sofa :D

I still think Liverpool are the better team , and City will eventually win the league.
 
So after all the publicity about players keeping their distance the whole of the Sheffield United team went into a group hug, bloody idiots.

Noticed Kane looked across and looked like he was thinking you plonkers ?

Good start from Spurs
 
Was a cross wasnt it ? Just putting the ball back across the goal
No chance. :LOL: There was no one in the box anyway and he looked straight at the keeper after hitting it which tells you he was looking towards goal. Don't get me wrong though, it was certainly a hit and hope, but it came off perfectly with the keeper in no man's land.
 
Oh wow, what a goal!

Yes brilliant goal , can only think of one foul Spurs have given away shows how poor Sheffield United have been , we could be above Liverpool at the end of the day who would have thought that. ?

Think Man United will get well beat today though.

Unfortunately, I think you've got that spot on.
I'd love a win today, but I'd be happy with a draw.
City are just getting into their stride now, I think they'll win the Prem by a few.

???

just seen who the ref is for today??

I’ll watch it on Twitter Today??
 
Think I’ll hope for a Man Utd win then Spurs will be third ?

Also Liverpool are much more likely to last the course and Man Utd are not good enough to stay on top and I think they will lose a few.
