I noticed that. Thank goodness. Martinez's reaction at the end would have caused a riot!

I wonder what the odds were for Palace, Fulham and Villa all to win today.What the hell has happened with the football today, all the underdogs have cleaned up.

To be honest these so called fans turn me off the game.If there that big a fan, jump in your car drive hundreds of miles and watch your team in the stadium. Not just this particular fan but all of them.
Comedy gold this bloke

Utd didn’t do a bad job when City beat them 6-1 at the swamp. Rumour has it there was a fire drill at the emirates when they went 2 down.Arsenal don't half know how to empty a stadium in record time

That's true, there doesn't seem to be a stand out option who will be a cast iron success but there's a lot of very good managers who would do a better job if we're comparing what Man Utd have served up this season alone. You're often getting beaten by lesser teams and players because the set up is so bad IMO. The squad quality is easily higher than Spurs or Villa despite some glaring issues.
He's had three separate set ups; the first lasted only two games last season when you got well beaten by Brighton and Brentford I think it was. He tried to play the way he did at Ajax and got battered. He then to his credit realised the league was a different level and went back to the same way Ole used to set up, playing more defensive and relying on counter attacks. That worked due to Rashford having the season of his life and a lot of luck. The wheels fell off towards the end of the season when injuries and tiredness caught up, largely due to ETH refusing to use his squad wisely. He's then changed his style again this season to a totally gung-ho, high pressing game which doesn't really suit anyone. The defence have been exposed and the forwards aren't clinical enough. There's been no control in midfield and it makes for highly entertaining games but the stats put Man Utd in the bottom half for a lot of metrics. It's got to the point Chelsea could finish higher and they've been woeful.
The question is where does he go from here? Does he carry on with this system and add a few more players who would help it. That is highly risky as very few top sides play that way. Or does he switch back to his system that worked last season?
Not sure how many players aren't putting a shift in bar Rashford, they just seem exposed by the system. Even Mainoo has started to look dodgy in recent games.

Probably, but today is the day that 115 charges, oil money etc etc goes up another level because of either.
1, Liverpool bottled it.
2, Arsenal bottled it.
What will be wrongly forgotten also today is that.
1, Palace played brilliantly.
2, Villa played brilliantly.
What will also be forgotten is that.
Arsenal have spent generations taunting Spurs as serial bottlers when they are not doing a bad job themselves again.

Would you be happy to cash in on Salah at the end of the season if Saudi’s come in with £50m?

I would take £40 m.
I have never been a big fan.

In a high press team you can’t have a player who won’t tackle anyone. Imo of course.!
He seems to have a free pass from Klopp not to put a tackle in.
He runs at people but won’t tackle.!
Klopp seems to leave him on even when he’s having a mare.
But his goal tally and assists are up there with anyone so it’s hard to criticise to much as people use his stats to argue.
He looks as if he’s already leaving imo .his last few games have been awful

Salah has definitely checked out from what I've seen of him this season. Plenty of goals and assists but his all round game has been way off previous levels.
The real issue is Nunez IMO. You can't win titles with a striker that bad at finishing. If you swap Haaland for Nunez I think Liverpool will the title this season by a decent margin.
