There seems to be a myth that we overplay him. 581 Premier League minutes this season, the equivalent of six and a half games. About half our Premier League games even with Welbeck injured. From memory I don’t think he has started in a Europa league game. We manage his minutes very carefully.
Another vote for Marseille. However, I was in Marseille and not in Amsterdam. Makes a big difference as to how you feel although last night was amazing on the TV.
A really strong European performance. Result never in doubt and we were solid and always more of a threat. Dunk looks like an abductor which means out for Sheffield but back after the international break.
The amount of moaning on here 2 years ago was huge and went on for weeks. With no trains not surprisingly the actual attendance was about 18,000. The evening on the 28th will mean a full house. All the time the trains don’t run it is much better that we don’t have a home Boxing Day game.
There are too many poor refs in the PL. VAR gets all the blame when it shouldn’t. Even with multiple replays refs can’t get decisions right. If we had excellent refs there would hardly be any moans about VAR.
Don’t agree with Ferguson comments. His minutes have been managed very carefully. That finish was world class as he took it so early. His hold up play was also decent. Not his fault that supply wasn’t great.
No problem with getting best 6-1 this season. The problem was Villa last season at the Amex. In 40 years of watching I’ve never seen a team time waste so much. Was embarrassing and why they had to make changes this season and add time on properly. Also why if you have the trainer on you wait 30...
