Looks like some rumours around Solskjaer again, I don't think they can get a good enough manager to turn the ship around since part of the problem is undoubtedly to do with players

Due to the delay in FM2025, I thought I might do a UTD rebuild save.

Their squad is worse than it appears, utter dog shit.

He we go again..

"X haven't won a match so far in the season!"

Everton:

Hold plz

Penalty, says VAR...

 

[Embattle]

I believe it could have gone either way, but as the on field decision was pen it stayed as pen.

 

[Scouse]

So what's the point of VAR again?

I don't mind the ref getting it wrong - and we won anyway - but it looked like it was outside the box when it happened, it went to VAR and they said "penalty" when it was an obvious free kick.

So just leave it to the ref completely...

Nice to see FIFA as corrupt and immoral as before, with the FA endorsement as well.

 

[Raven]

International football is dead.

So, loads of pundits were saying Liverpool were uncatchable, a week or so ago.

Yeah... about that. Weren't they 12 points clear at Xmas a few years ago?

Do we need to reassign the "spursy" moniker?

Only to pundits, predicting won titles after 10 games.

It's not even christmas yet. Why is anyone talking about the league?

 

[Gray]

These December games could have been the absolute ruin for us, I think we were incredibly fortunate we managed to forego Liverpool for now, I'll be fine playing them another time, but the amount of matches we had against the top teams this month was nightmarish.

Yet for the majority, we got points for them. Delighted. Once more, while defensively we've being fantastic, up front we severely lack.

Broja might be the difference, but he's not getting many starts so far..
