Maybe Porto deserve some credit for a very disciplined performance against Arsenal. It looked like they had a plan right from the off to stifle Arsenal, and press them all over the pitch. It wasn’t overly pretty or exciting. TBH, I think Arsenal are too good not to score at least a couple of goals at home, and I feel Porto will need a goal to stay in the competition.

Just heard on talksport that Hojland is out 2/3 weeks

Big blow for united considering his recent form.

Might have to review the 1-0 victory I've predicted for them against Fulham. There hasn't been a 0-0 in the Premier League since 30th Jan. This could be the one.
 
Sighhhhhhh. Hojlund out for 2-3 weeks.

That's Man Utd without a striker then. I sort of hope Ten Hag just sticks McTomminay up there as a No. 9, and not Rashford. Please God, not Rashford. I'd rather have Maguire up front, at least he'd have a bit of presence about him up there.

It’s my fault entirely. Every time I add anyone to my Fantasy League squad they get injured. It’s become a standing joke. So I now promise to concentrate on picking Spurs and Villa players. I’m prepared to sacrifice my own success for Champion’s League qualification.

Coincidentally, as soon as I read the news I also thought McTominay would be a good shout up front. He has at least played there earlier in his career.

I'll keep picking the Liverpool and City players then. That way, you can get us Champions League qualification, and I can stop City and Liverpool winning the league. Can only have 3 players from each team, so if I have 3 Brighton players and you have 3 Newcastle players, it'll just give us a bit more protection

With our injury list I'm surprised you can find three players you would want in your Fantasy team.
 
Man United really going to struggle with their paper thin squad. Only two recognised strikers, with one of those being Martial, and just two recognised left backs, it’s clear a big spend is needed this summer on those two positions alone.

So today we have a lad making his debut on the right, Garnacho on the left where he has been less than effective this season, and Rashford through the middle, where he is next to worthless. No surprise he’s not featured at all during the first half.

Such a shame when we have built some momentum to have to reshuffle the pack up front - difficult to see any goals in that front three.

Casemiro might be out for a while now as well with a head injury.

Hard to believe, but this is worst I've ever seen Rashford play. Absolutely useless up front. And I just have no idea what Bruno does, except get ball and play a ball that has a 10% success rate if you have a world class striker up front, and next to none with Rashford.

Garnacho only one who.looks like he could be a threat, but that is rare. Someone normally given it away before it gets to him.

I think McTomminay came on 10 mins ago, but not seen him. Just watching Fulham absolutely dominate midfield
