A filthy dive from Macalister and then a minute later a cracking goal. 

 

Nope, Var just had to get their big fat nose in it again and chalked off a beauty. 

Football is in a dark place

Certainly one of the best disallowed goals of all time. But the attempted overhead kick by the offside player definitely affected the defender who was trying to head the ball clear, so it was the correct call.

Think a big reason why Potter's system is so effective is that Trosard and March are playing as wingbacks but they are essentially both attacking wingers. They drive the ball forward. Their midfielders also don't give a rats arse about possession and always look to move the ball forward. 

Rodgers about to get sacked but im not sure another manager can make this Leicester defence play any better. 

don't understand why United keep on playing McTominay while having Casemiro available

Macalister with a Beckhamesque free kick. 

Brighton play some great football it must be said.

It's a 352 with old English philosophy. It's longball football with extra steps

Issue is we are the only team in European football that play a back 5 & try and play possession football. It makes no sense when you think our extra men offensively are defenders. 
I reckon that was the reason Klopp & Pep dropped it once they tried it 2 seasons ago. You will need to be direct.

I was watching Tielemans walk off and a few others without a single bit of emotion on their face. Like a set of players that don't give a sh*t that they are bottom of the table. I was a big fan of Tielemans at the beginning of last season, but he looks like one of those players that will down tools if things don't go his way.

manure Martinez is a proper KANT

Should have been booked.

Need a Utd win, Arsenal fans need humbling after 5 wins against promoted teams and relegation candidates.

only our players get booked in the early stages

Antony is looking good tbf

Arsenal strikes

Looks a foul to me. 

lol VAR is a dissaster in PL

Competitive start in Utd vs Arsenal match. What’s interesting is Utd play 5 attacking players and Arsenal 4. Beats our 2-3 attacking players and it really shows.

Arsenal ahead though it may be a foul in the build up. 

yes it’s a foul but don’t expect VAR will send a ref if it wasn’t LiVARpool or manure

I thought it was a foul. Doubt VAR would even tell the onfield ref to look at it if it was us.

Soft foul to be honest. But I’d rather a draw here to keep the Arses quiet but we don’t want Utd to get their moral up.

Man U need to win so the competition will be more interesting hence that VAR decision

It’s another example of a team buying a player and throwing them straight in. Granted he knows the manager, but I always applaud teams doing this and letting good players play. 
 

Was relieved we started Fofana in same fashion, and not this normal 2-3 week nonsense to learn our patterns.
