Yeah well, he used to be that for the last ouple of season, but now it's Alphonso Davies. Sorry.

Reported for trolling.

I am the original Robertson appreciator on here so no trolling involved.
He's still second best, I guess.

If every member of this forum could have a penny for every time you overhyped some jabroni we'd all be rich tbh.

Mason Mount played his 50th game for us today

Christensen has played 98 in 4 seasons and RLC has played 80 in 5 seasons, shows how incredibly import Mase has been for us.

That "Kepa best GK in the prem" take from Arq was ridiculous then and is ridiculous now

Hudson Odoi deserves some other club like Liverpool he is wasting his career at Chelsea.

Nah he'll keep getting game time with us, Frank and Jody rate him. no need to rush him into anything.

Looks like next season will start on September 12th.

Wish every match was on TV

Normally I wish Manchester United all the worst but this weekend I'm strongly rooting against a Chelsea top 4 finish for reasons

Robes

We have played meh the last couple games, I think fatigue is an issue. And Leicester have had a longer resting period, I believe.

I'm usually very confident but I am somewhat dreading tomorrow. Don't want that Europa League agony next season too.

But I hope we can pull it off (perhaps with the aid of VAR, a penalty for the winner, to make Hans have a meltdown)

glory glory man united

Rodgers is a superior manager but you have better players. Players make far more of a difference than a manager.

In the end you just need a point. Score first and you have it in the bag since your counter attack is 2nd best in Europe.

The Man Utd players look fatigued as fuck but Leicester has been terrible post lockdown.

United got this. Bruno is running on fumes but I expect the front 3 of Martial, rashford and Greenwood to pick up the slack.

2-1

Nah the Bruno Pogba god combo is going to assure a Utd victory.

there is going to be either very pissed manutd or chelsea fan tonight -
leicester been disaster post covid ; dunno how much not having maddison is the reason or the players just loosing it ; also they were doing just fine with 4-1-4-1 all of sudden everyone is sucking in new formation

Rodgers thinks he has to have a out of the box or different solution rather than a simple football approach and he messed it up be changing the formation few times and it seemed like it confused his players, from the 2-3 games I saw post covid.

yea like 4-1-4-1 w/ vardy as lone strker was perfectly fine. maddison loss is understandable but they still had a good players.
ever since he signed that extension he has completely lost this team ; like loosing manutd is not the reason they been sucking since the break... yea i kinda now am feeling that rodgers was trying to prove something that he has flexible ideas and it has backfired.

lmao

I'm so excited to be back in the CL tbh

salvaging a terrible 2020

I'm hoping for Inter vs United in the EL final tbh to cap off a decent season all things considered

KdD equalled Henry assist tally in a single PL season. Looking at what FPL and OPTA he should've been at 22 the Sterling go against Aresnal and Mahrez goal today should've counted.

FPL say this about deflected assists.

Assists can also be given when touches or attempted tackles from opponents deflect the ball in off the goalscorer.

Again, the scorer of the goal has to be the clear intended target for the pass and the assessment of whether the ball would have reached the scorer without the defensive touch must be made.

Opta say this -

If the final touch (as defined in bold) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place.
