José being gone is indeed a very good thing when it comes to Musonda. The problem is (if you can really call it a problem) that the club and new manager will Ben of desperate to get back to the top that a top player may be brought in that plays the same position. I'd hate to see a Pogba situation here where everyone can see his talent but he isn't given a chance, moves clubs, and becomes a superstar. Already rumors of several of our rivals sniffing around.

Looked like CR7 with that assist!

I just wanna know what the trigger or incident was that led to him being so out of it this season. It's like a light switched between last season and this. Still remarkable that his form just completely dove off a cliff and is just now reaching about 60% of what it was last season. He's still not anywhere near his best. Did Mourinho just completely run him into the ground? Or has his head been so turned by Real Madrid that he's checked out mentally? My wish is that the club and next manager can convince him that the league is there for the taking next season and that he can play a major role in going for it.

Agreed. Think the title may be a step too far in our new managers first season with Pep and Mou to compete with (and their infinite budgets) but I definetly think we'll be right amongst them challenging for the league. Think we'll 100% finish above Spuds and Leicester won't get remotely close to theses heights again.

Imagine if we had taken that step up we all wanted and expected heading into this season. We would've pissed this league with ease with last season's Hazard, Matic, Cesc, and Costa from the start.

Oh fuck off you fucking lucky Manc cunts! The teams above them are so shit that United may actually squeak back up and finish in the top 4. They're bloody awful!

Fabregas. It's his best position.

On paper, Nainggolan could be our Busquets, Cesc our Rakitic, and Pjanic our Iniesta. A shield/worker and two magicians. A bit like Conte had with Vidal, Pogba, and Pirlo.

It could spell trouble defensively, yes, but we see with all of the great Europe that if you dominate the ball it sort of masks defensive weaknesses. Barca for instance don't play with a pure DM. Nor do Real Madrid or PSG. They have players who can put in a shift defensively when necessary but their teams keep the ball so well that opponents don't get many opportunities.

If we get him and a top class B2B what an insane midfield we'd have. Would also hopefully mean we would play 4-3-3 under Conte. Assuming we keep hold of Hazard: Hazard------Costa-------Willian Pjanic------Fabregas------Nainggolan A midfield that can actually dominate possession and has more than one creative outlet unlike what we have now.

Quite possibly the worst half of football I can remember this season in terms of effort. We literally stopped playing. Pretty alarming as well how easily a relegation favorite like Norwich can keep the ball against us and not let us have a sniff. We also made Redman look like fucking in-form Marcelo, ffs. Like the commentators kept saying over and over we just sat on the 2-0 lead and tried to coast through without exerting ourselves and it nearly bit us in the ass. It was Mourinho-esque. When teams press us and get physical our guys can't deal with it. Happy with the 3 points obviously, but can't even pick a Man of the Match tbh.

Please do not make any half time changes or before the 60-70th minutes! Keep pressing for another and then change things. Norwich are still threatening a bit. Oh, and Oscar was atrociously bad that half. Simple passes he fucks up. Get him outta there.

If we win this we may as well continue the momentum and play our strongest side against Stoke.

Hopefully Kenedy remains disciplined enough back there.

Wow, no Willian. Deserves a rest I suppose. No Naismith for them at least.

This. At this point I just want us to keep winning in hopes that we possibly finish above clubs like Liverpool and Everton. Maybe even United if they collapse even more. I mean, how hilarious would it be if even in our worst ever PL season we still finish above Liverpool?

Ah, fuck. I forgot about that as well. Nailed on for either him or their keeper to have the game of their lives against Chelsea. Or both. Then they'll proceed to lose their next match 5-0 or something.

True.

He's a player who a lot of people hype up but always seems to be anonymous when I watch.

Oh god...

This is the sort of team that usually throws 5 in midfield to nullify Fabregas. It's not about being afraid it's about giving ourselves the best chance to win. A midfield 2 of Mikel & Cesc can be overrun potentially.

I'd like to see Matic come in to partner Mikel for this with Cesc as the #10 to make sure we can lock down the midfield. This is what you have to do to these small teams who usually flood the middle of the pitch.

That had to be by far United's worst ever team they've fielded and Arsenal's best in a decade with their best shot at the title since 2004 or whatever and they still bottle it. Wenger is an embarrassment. If he can't win it this season he never will again. Surely has to step down this summer. Unlucky for Arsenal as all the available top managers are being snapped up so they may be stuck with a second rate one. Brilliant!

Spurs are gonna win the league, aren't they? Fucking hell. When the pressure builds and builds Leicester will bottle it, I know it.

Arsenal are so shit. Can't string together 3 passes here against United's C team. They should be dominating this team. Bunch of softies.
