Mainoo , Urgate and Collyer also supposed to be out

Not a problem, we've already started our pre-season.

Well still need to reach 40 points and safety yet

With Everton winning they jump up to 13th above Spurs , West Ham and Man Utd

Are those three in the relegation battle

Life is so much better when you have a striker who can score goals .

Might save us a few quid in the summer if we don't have to buy a new first choice striker

There is a player playing for Betis who is doing well - 2 in 2 so far


Think his name is Antony ?

Our thanks once again to our correspondent from the Old Trafford treatment room.

I will never understand why West Ham allowed Moyes to go

4 wins and a draw in the last 5 get them right up the table

As bad as they are, there are only 3 teams in a relegation battle. Ipswich, Leicester and Wolves.

Southampton are already down.

Put himself about today. Was a real handful today

Hard to argue against this. I expected Wolves to start pulling away but it hasn't happened yet. Any sort of run could rescue one of those 3.

We are in our pre season phase until August now. Gives potter a time to fully access this squad and see where he needs to invest any money

CB hoping that aguard comes back from loan as he is smashing it up in laliga with Barca and Madrid sniffing about. Under potter he would thrive.

Thing is the players out on loan might give him just what he needs , Potts for example out on loan .. might be perfect for his central midfield

Definitely need some kind of striker tho . Ferguson looked good today tho

Liverpool and Bournemouth our next two games, hopefully we'll kick on after that.

Another win for the Royals, including a last minute penalty against that clown Steve Evans. Love to see it

 

[Tashyboy]

Is that new to Haarland? I'm not sure that's particularly usual for him, but I don't see City that often.

I think it is, he has mainly been the target man. Foden has been chipping in with a few but there is no one to play off Haalands shoulder. I did question why Alvarez was not given the opportunity to do it more. Marmoush with his pace and touch should do well at City. He reminds me of a quick Mahrez. I do think that him being a threat. Hold also create more space for Haaland.

Not a chance that Diaz is getting that ball but if a keeper wipes you out, it's a penalty. Keepers need to engage their brains more. If he'd let it go past him, it's a comfortable goal kick.

I've seen the same fanbase moan about a push on Konate in the build up to Everton's equaliser, I'm sure they'll agree Agba was pushed by Diaz first.

Also, this could be the worst ref performance I've seen in a long while.

Yeah. Happens so often, probably instinct. The foul is probably often inevitable when GK is still 5 yards away from player, because his reaction speed and momentum makes it hard from him to pull out of it.

If Liverpool are going to win, hope Salah gets about 5 goals. Triple captained him this week

 

[Swango1980]

Is diving not a yellow card anymore?

I did have a little smile when I saw that in the replay. It's a carbon copy.

You look all very neat and tidy, but toothless. Saying that, this is not a game that decides whether you stay up or not.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

I have to say I find the 5 live radio footy commentary and pundits so much more balanced than what the tv gives and those on here.

Even if we get one back I'm fairly sure Simon Hooper will up his performance in the second half and put the game to bed.

I think it is a foul by Diaz.
Not playing the ball and unbalancing the defender.

But inconsistency from referees
Stupid from the keeper
