Premier League 2023/24

Alexis MacAlllister has been sent off. Felt a little harsh.

Then Jota puts Liverpool 3-1 up.

And now Endo is on!

[Lineker]

Porro starting. Eeep.

[Dang117]

Onana's confidence with the ball at this feet and some of the passes he has picked out already have been top, it's a welcome change as De Gea with his feet was pretty much non-existence 

[lanky316]

Given United had got away with a couple of cynical challenges without yellow cards, it's interesting that they managed to now stack a few yellows from arguing with officials. This is shaping up to be the game where we really see if the officials are going to follow that new guideline so far. Lively and open game at least.

A little harsh? If that's a red card, matches would be getting abandoned due to lack of players.

[Baddar]

So, so bad 2nd half. Fuck sake.

[Dang117]

Midfield is a huge issue for United, too much space given for Spurs and the front three have done nothing. Too many players aren't Manchester United level or even top half Premier League level

[gunnar hendershow]

That match is why United are trying to weasel Mason Greenwood back into the fold. Wins over everything, and he'll surely help with that from what they trotted out today.

[stokeriño]

That Mason Mount, though. Worth every penny I'm sure.

[lanky316]

Given that their best chances were a couple of headers from balls over the top, I'm not entirely sure if he'll fill that gap. To be honest I think most of the post game punditry piling on Uniteds performance is ignoring just how much Spurs had improved after half time. In the first half United were winning most of the 50/50s and forced a couple of good saves and Spurs aside from a little bit on the break were pretty well contained. After half time Spurs went up a couple of gears, competed a lot better and didn't really allow United to play until some late changes that seemed to invite more pressure than needed. If Manchester United had been knocking on the door all game and it'd finished 0-0 or they'd been mugged on the counter I could get it but I think it's essentially down to how good that second half performance was from Spurs.

This of course is what gets people worked up the most. Just how maddening inconsistent referees and VAR both are. You would think that Liverpool just send this in with their appeal of the red card, but eh, still expecting a 3 match ban.

Mason Mount is looking like a strange signing at the moment. Not convinced he fits what Ten Hag is trying to do.

[Baddar]

In isolation the Mount signing was fine, but signing ONLY Mount in midfield when we clearly needed a different profile is odd.

Meanwhile, Newcastle giving it a really good go against City. Only behind to a worldie from Alvarez.

[gunnar hendershow]

Just had a ton of trouble taking the chances and turning them into anything. Would've deserved a draw.

Foden was fantastic as the City lead playmaker and the Alvarez goal was something special.

Much as I don't think it's a red, I hate this "show a still photo to argue against it" thing, I've no idea what that looks like in motion. It was pushed to its logical extreme last season when someone shared a joke "handball" photo by Sven Botman against Man City (I think), where the perspective made a cross that went 5 yards behind him look like it hit his hand. Needless to say it went viral with "Where is VAR?" all over the place.

[Lineker]

Angeball is so much fun. Sarr is also starting to fulfill all of his promise. Hard to believe that he's just 20!

[therockbox]

This has got to be the year Everton go down, surely?

[King Ellis]

I hope Willy Gnonto's agent remembers to get him a relegation release clause this time.

[Cymbols]

Yeah Everton were not great there. On the plus side, we’re back to neutral goal difference!

[Baddar]

Not the start Caicedo wanted.
