Premier League 2019/20

McBurnie keeps getting wellied, but while I'd usually have sympathy it's just making me want to tell him to pull his fucking socks up.

In case it needed further clarification, Chelsea are currently Not Very Good.

Willian was terrible when he came on

Hey now, that's our new #10 you're talking about there.

Ashley Cole has announced his retirement from football.

As I am not employed by a football club and nobody has any interest in signing me (or at least paying the amount I want), I too would like to announce my retirement from football.

Truly a sad loss for football 🙏💪💧

John O'Shea's hat trick was surely the most impressive. 

One of them was Leon Best for Newcastle, which is even more shocking than O'Shea nabbing one!

[Baddar]

Our side looks very quick on the counter tonight. Should be an entertaining game.

Did Pogba refuse to turn up for the photoshoot? 

[TCO]

Sky keep shiteing on about how Martial had his #9 taken off him when Lukaku signed. That's bollocks. He got it taken off him when Zlatan signed. Lukaku took it while it was vacant between Zlatan's spells at United.

Trying to push some sort of narrative that isn't there.

[Arjen Robben]

Calling it early, Daniel James will be another Nick Powell.

[Baddar]

Disappointed to draw that. Pogba should not be on that pen when Rashford has been scoring his at important times, too.

[Lineker]

Great goal by Neves though.

Anyone watching Sky? Pogba's penalty record is awful, but Juan Pablo Angel missed 50% of his, and Kevin Phillip's record is horrific.

This is why I don't get it. 

If Rashford hadn't been on the pitch and Pogba took it, I'd have no issue with it. But when we've struggled to find a settled penalty taker for a while, and Rashford has been scoring his, it's a no brainer. If he misses, nobody makes a big deal out of it. It's always worse when there's this big discussion before it's taken and then missed.

Pogba really wanted to take it so Rashford let him take it because he didn't want to take it as much apparently. Seems that Solskjaer doesn't have the sway to tell Pogba what to do. Was funny on Sky when Rashford basically contradicted him about five minutes after the explanation as well. I understand having a "list" of penalty takers, "if Kane isn't on the pitch then it goes to Son" and so on but the "you're both penalty takers, just sort it out between you" approach looks bad when something like last night happens. The same happened last week but as Rashford scored it that was kind of missed.

Should just go by the age old law "Those who win the penalty, takes the penalty"

[TCO]

Pogba is statistically one of the worst penalty takers in Premier League history and Rashford has never missed one.

The only explanation is that Pogba used his seniority and name to take the penalty and Ole won't/is afraid to call him out on it.

The excuse he gave was such bullshit.

Which is what's happened this season it seems.

Because Man Utd are apparently now a schoolyard 6 a side team.
