I’m not just looking to disagree with you Honestly.
But no I’m not having that.
I’m not going to google it,& will be happy to be proven wrong.
But there aren’t many goals in any of the players you’ve mentioned there.

To be fair a lot have been injured.

In my view Eze, Jesus and Merino would get into a lot of top teams and that's some of their 6th choice attackers or lower. The point I was making was it doesn't really matter about Gyokeres individually, he's not been signed to be the final piece of the jigsaw, just a useful additon along with Eze and Madueke.

That's true up to a point. He struggles to pass to a United shirt and always seems to take it a touch to far when advancing with the ball.
Your assessment of Sesko is bob on

I do know what you mean about Cunha, he does a lot of good work but it never seems to happen infront of goal. I didn't watch the whole game but he looked like the only one that was making a difference and trying to win it, along with Dorgu. Hard to judge on tonight as it was a Utd side missing 4 of it's first choice attackers.

Sesko needs to step it up, he's got the size, power and ability but he hasn't shown anything. His issue looks the same as Hojlund in that they can't create and get shots off themselves, it has to be on a plate...

Arsenal 8/15
city 6/4
Villa 50/1
Liverpool 50/1

That’s how sky bet have the title race.
Not a chance I’d be backing Arsenal at that price.
I reckon City win it.
Liverpool 50/1 defending the title,they’ve been embarrassing.
Chelsea & Man Utd just seem to spend money badly

Up the Villa

It's hilarious how often it has been said "if Man Utd win today, they get into the top 4 or 5", only to fail almost every single time.

If I had to sum up this season so far for Utd, anti-climatic would be term I use.

Keep looking at AFCON results, hoping Ivory Coast and Cameroon get eliminated ASAP

Brighton ,couldn't beat a bloody egg at the moment.
As for the so called handball for the penalty, car showed the wrong footage ,what they showed was a ricochet off of Dunks shoulder . totally wrong freeze frame . Made it look like it hit his arm halfway down .
