I think Evanilson has looked good so far, just has been wayward/unlucky in front of goal - but then Solanke's numbers last season were a bit of an outlier and 10+ is an OK season for a "mid-table striker".

Arse v Liverpool was intense, pretty even game and a draw was fair. Arse had to retreat a little in the second half when Gabriel went off and then Timber went off so without Saliba they looked shaky.

Arsenal did well to hold on for a point with all the injuries to their backline. A backline of Partey at RB, White and Kiwior in the middle and the baby Lewis-Skelly was always gonna make things difficult.

I notice they sacked him before they League Cup fixture with Leicester as well, which would puth the in the Quarter Finals should they win that tie, a big chance at winning another trophy, whilst struggling everywhere else.

Sadly for non Man U supporters, the owners saw right through that.

Erik Ten Million+ Compensation

Was beginning to seem inevitable and ironic it came after a game they actually played OK in and still lost.

Ornstein normally has good sauces.

Surprised Rodri got the win although he would have got my vote

Bovidae

RM had a sulk and didn't turn up.

This is the most Real Madrid thing ever. Win 3 awards, but as they don't get the big one, they have a sulk and act like they are bigger than the award.

Rodri won player of the tournament in Euro, with his team winning the tournament.
Vini Jnr didn't make the QF in Copa America due to yellow cards, which Brazil lost.

Vini certainly lit up the Champs League, but does that outshine the Euros?

There's an argument, but it's not open and shut.

Absolutely pathetic.

This is quite nice from a Spanish Journalist:

@MajorRage the comments are pretty toxic

@dogmeat Rule one of life. You don't listen to dickheads in real life, so don't read the comments on twitter!

Well the ABs might be playing averagely but the cherries are on a roll. City beaten…and Arsenal two weeks ago also at home. Big result

It makes me a bit less gutted about Villa conceding that last minute goal last week.

Liverpool looking the real deal.

2-0 win at their soulless bowl, thats three wins in a row and a 6-0 aggregate...and CLE (who was with us last year and backed out of a deal to return on the last day to go to them) gets a red....perfect day

dogmeat

Thought you'd enjoy that.

@dogmeat i know lots dont get it and thats fine...but yeah...that was good

I hear the new MK owners tried to reach out and clear the air but were rebuffed? They sort of miss the point if that's the case. Hating MK is your raison d'etre
