    TH owes Mctominay a pint, international break up next a lot of work needs to be done and desperately need players back. The consensus from some is TH has lost some of the players, we are never going to get relegated I think you have to keep TH till the end of the season, who else is there to bring in?

    Well, Ole is still available, I guess! I think there are several names that could do a good job at United, though coming in mid season is a big ask for managers of the stature United aim for. Any manager would ideally get a full preseason.

    Is TH the right man, on the other hand? Maybe, maybe not… I haven't watched the entire interview, but Zlatan makes a good point to Piers Morgan about TH and the fact that at Ajax he's mainly developed talent rather than big names.

    It is in TH hands personally he has got to stop persisting with something that does not work and be braver and drop player who are not performing.

    Our injuries are in defense so we have most of our attackers, the top end of the pitch is not functioning so TH needs to fix that we have players that can score goals though the balance is all wrong. the sub's bench bailed us out today.

    Agree, the balance of the team looks all wrong. There are quality players there though, so with the right approach, TH (or someone else) should be able to turn things around.

    I benched Zinchenko and playing Akanji, I should have benched both as I expect goals, though city are capable of nicking a 1 - 0 win. Is Saka out? I sold him.

    My guess is a comfortable 3-0 to City. I highly doubt Arsenal has got it in them to get anything from this game.

    Looking at Arteta's comments it's difficult to say for certain if he's out or not. Expect they'll do anything to make him available, but he was certainly struggling midweek…

    Salah and Mitoma up for me next, I think both defenses can be got at so expecting goals.

    Ferguson starts a good test for the young striker.

    Brighton piling on the early pressure 3 corners already, I can see why Darwin starts Liverpool will look to catch them on the break.

    Brighton goal from defensive howler, too easy for Brighton there.

    Liverpool way too lazy playing out from the back there.

    Adingra with the goal.

    God you could drive a fleet of buses through Liverpool's midfield.

    Brighton popping it around like prime Barcalona 72% possession.

    Salah scores from Liverpool real first chance, points for me.

    Salah at times has been Liverpool's most advanced player which is good from an FPL point of view.

    Glad I included Salah on my wildcard. Didn't consider captaining him today though!

    Yeah I was just thinking the same regarding Salah as captain, I am stubbornly sticking with Haaland he can get a hatrick at any time, the risk of not captaining Haaland is too high I got stung a few times last season.

    1 - 1 all of a sudden between Wolves and Villa, I brought Watkins back in after stupidly selling him and he gets an assist.

    Newcastle equalized at West Ham, I benched Burn so just glad no clean sheets there.

    I need Ward Prowse and Mitoma to do something.

    I'll be very surprised if he doesn't score vs Arsenal today. He's been my captain all week, until I transferred in Son.

    Spurs going to 10 men did not help though I think Son will get hauls, the only reason I have not jumped on the Spurs as contenders band wagon is because there squad has not got enough depth. Spurs will have a bad run at some point.

    Brighton offered very little in the second half.

    Based on what I have seen so far my top 4 would be...

    Man City
    Arsenal
    Liverpool
    Newcastle

    I hate to say it Man United have no chance, we have lost too much ground already.

    Dunk goal 2 - 2

    That was way too easy, poor defending there.

    Yes, they don't have the strongest bench, that's for sure. But they do seem to have turned things around as a team (unfortuntelly, I might add!)

    Spurs have a very good first 11, still baffled why Man United never went in for Bissouma as far back as Ole, we were heavily linked with him, excellent player.
