Always nice to see the no hopers having a go at this time of year, hoping to get a big result. But I think Luton will see them off tonight.

I think this is the right manager at the right time for Man Utd. Every one of their appointments post Ferguson was either the wrong manager or the right manager at the wrong time (Mourinho).
Obvious question marks over his experience but he can gain that in the next 18 months or so as I don't think anyone expects them to be challenging for the title in that time frame. Man Utd fans have been amazingly supportive of rubbish like Ole and ETH, so if they can see him making progress in terms of a style of play they'll give him time to get the results. Klopp, Pep and Arteta weren't overnight success stories, their first seasons were underwhelming but they all inprinted their style from the off and then added the results.
It's a tough ask to turn them around and challenge three of the best sides in Europe which is what City, Arsenal and Liverpool are - but when you've got the vast financial firepower Utd have it makes it easier.

Stick another £10m on his price tag. Very much deserved. Him and Milenkovic have been unreal this season so far

I’ve seen teams take a corner and two passes later their keepers got the ball .
That really is bad.

A "wide player" taking on the full back in order to get a cross in, rather than pass back inside, is now rarer than hens' teeth.
When I was playing, that was your blooming job!
Passes completed stats are virtually meaningless as there are so many pointless ones!

The lack of a proper number 9 has killed wingers imo.
There’s never anyone in the box in modern footy apart from Haaland.
Not many good ones about.

Don't see many goals like that anymore, but that's one of the best crosses you'll ever see. Perfect.

Thoroughly interesting line up from j-lo today
He has kept paquata for some reason but completely changed formation from 4 3 3 to a 3 5 2 by looks with wing backs
---------------fabainski
---------dinos todibo killman
Awb---alvarez Rodriguez ---emerson
summerville Bowen paquata
It's bold. I think it could be a good one

Pope seriously injured there?
Goes down with some sort of hamstring problem. Gets the spray. Then fit enough to immediately boot a goal kick up the other end of the pitch.

That will be Arsenal out of the title race already…..

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
When I look at Arsenal and they have Sterling, Zinchenko, Jesus, Jorginho. All squad players for other clubs. Not first teamers.
Struggling to take Arsenal to the next level required.

Is that arsenal out of the title race now? I appreciate it's early but with city looking usually good and Liverpool looking outstanding . Can they afford 2 defeats already this season?

That’s a tough one to call. Been a tough month for them fixture wise from the City game. But you have to get through them tough times. Problem is. They don’t look invincible and have that aura of unbeatable about them.
On a positive ETH is now available

Thing is some clubs will call in people like big Sam to turn around a crisis.
Who's calling for ETH? lol don't think Sunday league want him ATM

As dominant as I’ve seen Forest this season (between watching my kids
). Thought Alvarez was lucky not to get a for the first challenge as it looked a bit dangerous and second one was just a bit silly, especially on a yellow.
Hopefully we don’t lose our shape against 10 men.

With all due respect, I hope they batter you second half
If the Forest game stays like this and Liverpool end up getting something we’ll end the day 3rd. THIRD! WHAT THE HELL?!

I think you have the player confused. It was Rodriguez who got a yellow for the foul on Gibbs white . Alvarez got his first yellow for a shirt pull
