One thing that could mess their season up is the African Cup which could see Salah and Mané miss almost a month. They’re a lot less scary with Minamino, Firmino, and Jota as their front 3. Still decent but not scary.

They’ll still keep plenty of clean sheets though if they keep the likes of van Dijk, Matip, Gomez and Konate fit plus the likes of Jota and Firmino will still score goals also so they’ve still got a very very good chance of being in the title run. The ability to keep clean sheets always gives you a chance of winning. 

In January it also will depend who they play though and how far Senegal and Egypt go in the AFCON. If they get a run of easy games, keep their backline fit as well as Jota and Firmino they’ll be there or theres about by the time they return after AFCON.

They look very good and unfortunately right now the only team I would say who are going to properly challenge City because you can say as a title challenging team, they are more mature and ready than we are. Still think we will give it a good shot but potentially will fall away.

They play us on 1st Jan and Palace & Leicester during that period. However, I expect Liverpool to ask for their respective confederations to keep them till after they play us.

Don't we lose Mendy? That could be shite depending what Kepa appears during that time

Pool look a machine

unless you count Mbappe as a wing player, Salah is easily the best winger on the planet atm

what a player (diving aside)

the first goal pass from Mo to Mane was just extraordinary, equal to the best De Bruyne can do

Funny how Man United, arguably the biggest club in the world, are allergic to winning.

If they have any ambition, they should be going after someone like Conte right now.

Would be interesting to see how Conte would use Ronaldo though.

Hell no Jason........what they need is for Ole to remain and steady the ship for years to come.

Steve Bruce to take charge of Newcastle vs Tottenham to mark 1,000th game as a manager

What an atmosphere by the looks of it at St James. That sort of atmosphere is going to be very intimidating for Spurs/other teams who go there. Even today, with Steve Bruce there despite several people trying to tell me he would of been sacked in the buyout thread before this game 😂

Would be cool if they got a result, compound Nuno’s miserable start even more.
