Jesus and Zinchenko have massively raised the level of that team, pundits have said as much already but it’s obvious to see.

Any time I’ve watched Ukraine playing over the past year and a bit, him and Yarmalenko (despite the lack of game time at West Ham) have always stood out. Hope he gets more game time at Arsenal, he’s a treat to watch.

I have never wanted Man United to win a game so badly. Klopps reaction potentially priceless.

My how I’ve missed these ultra negative Liverpool fans.

Jude is half right though. TAA is 100% a natural midfielder. He’s not an awful defender at all but he’s definitely not convincing when they are up against it as a team.

Fucking hell. Puts a massive swing on the shit Ten Haag got first two games. Good to see Sancho and Rashford on the score sheet from an England perspective.

What a crazy weekend of fixtures! The beautiful game!

So much shit about every performance, he gets absolutely crucified. Needs to leave - what price though? £40mil?

Casemiro to United is touch. That’s McTominay done.

I wish I was Fabrizio Romano. Dream job I wish I had tried for.

“Here we go”.

Apparently Joao Pedro coming to the Toon from Watford. Fee and Terms agreed. Not sure what I make of that. In Eddie we trust :pray:t2: @Bish @Malanax

I honestly think our fanbase needs a couple of mediocre-at-best years to reset ourselves. We’ve become so accustomed to success that it’s sapped the life out of our home crowds and genuinely seems to be preventing us from enjoying our football.

Yeah I saw that on twitter last night. Seems like a lot but like you say, Howe and his team seem pretty savvy. I mean they’ve turned Joelinton into a worldie.

Yep, all those second place trophies are pretty sweet.

What I mean is, it seems like (up until the start of this season, anyway!) every Prem game for the last few years except City has been near-as nailed on a win, we’ve won a Champions League, making 3 finals in 5 years. It’s almost like we have to win multiple trophies and have a 90+ point league season else we’re not satisfied. I just want us to enjoy the ride!

Finally! Everton signing a half decent player in Neal Maupay. Been a minute since I was happy with a signing.

Waiting on Isak today from Sociedad. Hopefully play against Wolves on Sunday.

I rate him but it’ll be a pretty big step up though.

Depends if they expect him to lead the line or not. Still not convinced by Everton at the moment, haven’t watched much of them yet this season.
