    It's gotta be time to move away from the McTominay Fred CM Axis in these games in the league. Can't be too harsh today because McTominay looked injured but we looked much better in the system with him off. You've got to trust Pogba in the two. I'd personally probably play Pogba and McTominay...

    I don't see teams going 90+ points regularly. They were freak seasons. We had 3 of the highest every point totals in 2 seasons. It isn't going to be the regular. It'll revert back to 85-90 wins it.

    Didn't have the best of games last night on the ball. But there was one moment that summed up his attitude. Maguire and Matic looked like they were just going to let the forward run straight through the middle of them and he's busting a gut to make the recovery challenge.

    It's a bit like a striker going down to make the ref realise the contact is there. If he's not going to make the ball he's got to exaggerate the contact and make sure the ref notices it. However the goal should stand. For me both goals should stand. I think it was Burnley that has one...

    How could they possibly know the effects of a vaccine on a pregnant woman if they haven't tested it? Hence why they aren't allowing it. However they have tested it on non pregnant people and it's safe. Again I am making the assumption you aren't a pregnant woman.

    Can't believe it's got anything to do with him being American. All to do with the fact he's been injured and woefully out of form when he has played. His 1 goal and 0 assist in almost 900 minutes doesn't strike you as game changing stuff does it.

    Premier League 2020/21: Liverpool vs Man Utd ~ Sun 17th 4.30PM KO

    I mean you all could well be right. I just can't see us going in to the game trying something we've never done before. In terms of the formation I think those are the 11 players that will be picked. He could easily have Bruno or Pogba over on the right. I just think it'll be those 6 occupying...
