Ziyech also has a history at Ajax for missing games for small injuries. He minutes need to managed just like Pulisic until they show their bodies can handle the league.

Didn't we have Werner, Tammy, and Giroud on the pitch at the same time already this year? Werner plays well off another striker. I could see Lampard wanting both Werner and Haaland....not saying it is going to happen.

It looks like ManU transfer window has players talking shit about each other and the club. This one is not going to help the locker room.

News keeps getting better.

I wish I knew where they were getting the information? It seems in the last hour there are more tweets about Mendy. The team is back at practice today. Perhaps that is why?

Werner had flu-like symptoms, tested negative and will join up with Germany Chelsea striker Timo Werner was kept away from the Germany squad for the first part of this week as the 24-year-old was suffering from flu-like symptoms. Werner didn’t feature for Die Mannschaft in their 3-3 draw in a friendly against Turkey in Cologne on Wednesday. However, he will now be part of the Germany squad for their games against Ukraine and Switzerland as he has been declared fit to take part and passed the required COVID-19 tests. https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2020/10/08/shaqiri-werner-covid-19-false-positive-all-clear/

I am glad they are not throwing him out on the pitch.

He did look good in the game. Should have had a goal also.

I have an acquaintance that is a Tottenham fan. We were talking and he is saying he is concerned they are betting the team on making top 4. Something to do with the government loan they took and are using it to bring in players. If they don't make top 4, they will not be able to keep the players they have and it could effect their staff also. Is this an exaggeration, or is there truth to this?

I have a friend that has been a life long ManU fan. He feels they did not address the lack of depth that had Ole not changing the starting 11 and not bringing on subs when needed in games. He thinks in this congested format, the players will get beat down, VdB and Telles will help, but the squad overall will be get run into the ground. It doesnt help that McGuire is becoming a head case with the pressure on the pitch and his personal problems.

Pretty telling. He is ever the United will do great things.

Man City and ManU got hammered in that review. We were mentioned with praise. https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2020/10/05/premier-league-transfer-grades-how-did-clubs-fare/

How is he at DMF?

I have noticed that our corners defence and when we take corners is much improved over last year. I think taking them will improve even more when Ziyech returns. Do you think this is a result of the young coach Lampard brought in to focus on these things? If so, Lampard deserves some credit for bringing in someone to improve it.

This must be the least productive day of the year for office working football fans.

250k a week? Did not know that was going to be the wage. Yikes

The Manu game....awesome. Liverpool....awesome. ManU's schedule all the way through October....good-bye Ole.
