Proper stupid. Can't understand what he was thinking.

I'm not usually a big fan of the expected goals stat, except when it helps to point out how piss poor the rags were:

xG stats: Manchester United 0.61 - 1.10 Wolves


Basically Wolves were 2x as likely to score in the game than the scum. Most expensive, highest paid players in the league; and they play like Stoke on a bad day :lol: :lol:

Spurs are in for a long season. Not only are they not creating much, their defense looks worse than it's been in years

Chelsea have been very poor and West Ham have missed very good chances. Hazard and Willian are really talented but Jorg slowing everything down in the middle of the park. Yawn job.

Well based on that Chelsea showing it's hard to see past us and the dippers being 1st/2nd this season.

I'm not one to tempt fate but have they really improved so much as to be capable of turning around last season's 25 point deficit? They're certainly stronger but one or two key injuries will surely find them out.

Chelsea will struggle for top 4 playing like that. The best defensive midfielder in the country, Kante, seems to have been moved to the right of midfield. What a waste. Jorginho is in the middle slowing everything down, negating the swift counter attacks with Willian and Hazard.

Just flicked on Arsenal v Everton and Tyler was rabbiting on about Duncan Ferguson who is a Everton’s first team coach, says a lot by the way, and he was saying you don’t see teams lumping it up to a big target man any more in the PL. Er, Hello, has he not seen the rags plan B? Lump it up to bogbrush and let the arms and elbows work their magic?

To be fair, he meant you don't see good sides doing that.

Arse's second goal has got to be the reason VAR must be introduced, a clearer offside you will never see.

Yesterday's tackle on Gundog another reason. Red card, all day, every day.

Missed it in real time because the stream threw a wobbly . Saw it on the highlights and have to say the ref needs a right gollocking for that decision - red all day long , shocking tackle.

On the plus side, he came through it seemingly unscathed, that should do his confidence the world of good.

If the next few fixtures don't find them out then I'll start believing the hype myself:
26/9 EFL cup: Chelsea (home)
29/9 League: Chelsea (away)
3/10 Chumps: Napoli (away)
7/10 League: Centurians (home)

Was thinking the same.
That coupled with the goal, having missed one earlier, should be a big boost.
