Liverpool and Man City both have a 0 VAR effect in terms of goals - both had the same amount of goal decisions go for them as against. Brighton are the most favoured team (+6) and Sheff Utd the least (-5)

All these phantom Pogba injuries... just don't buy it at all. Soon as we get rid of that waste of space the better, hopefully a club comes in for in for him this month. Sell him at a loss if we have to.

Well that was the most predictable result of the season from a United perspective.

Danny Ings leaving Alderweireld in the last decade has to be my highlight of the day! Great result.

The Brighton goal earlier from Jahanbakhsh was stunning too.

He's a self centred scumbag!

That free kick from Fred, the worst free-kick I've seen this season.

Eddie Howe faces probably his toughest period of managing Bournemouth in the Premier League. I think they'll be battling for survival come the end of the season.

Man Utd's problem is everyone is just bang average, all you've got to do is defend as a unit and you've nulified them. Martial and Rashford are both good players but struggle for consistency, the midfield lacks creativity and the defence just always looks vulnerable. I think there's almost enough in the squad to challenge for Top 4, but to make that step up to City/Liverpool you're talking a big facelift. Seems to be the case at the moment for Spurs/Utd/Chelsea - all can play well on their day, but inconsistent on a consistent basis.

 

As for Pogba.. honestly the guy is a complete joke. Obviously the strings are being pulled by his agent which is why I think there's a hold-up with getting him out of the club as clearly nobody wants to spend £20m on the guy's cut.

Oles interview told a lot when asked about his injury he said 'his people tell me he has to have a op'. Is he not anunited player or does he play for his agents?

Liverpool's total of 969 passes against Sheffield United is the highest number by any team in a Premier League match according to BT Sport.

It was some performance, obviously helped by the early goal but that was a complete a performance as you're likely to see. Henderson having an amazing purple patch of form and rightly getting the praise and recognition from the media. Down to the bare bones of the squad so glad there's some rest time before a tricky 3 fixtures on paper.

I would be happy to play the kids vs Everton now tbh!

Bare bones? Try telling that to Eddie Howe.

Chris Wilder has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at Sheffield United through to the summer of 2024.

Brighton's Mat Ryan is to donate money for every goalkeepers' Premier League saves to Australia bushfire charity. Good on him.

If he carries on with Sheffield United's run then Chris Wilder should be a contender for manager of the season full stop.

No surprise to me he's been a breath of fresh air just like he's been for Northampton and Sheff United since taking over.

 

The second seasons always the most interesting. Look at the team he has too, championship players at 5th in the premier league.

Regardless of thoughts on the handball laws and VAR, the current handball law is the law, so why haven't footballers grasped it and keep shooting or creating chances when it hits them on the arm or hand, however slight or accidental? Zero sympathy whatsoever for Rice or West Ham last night - what was he expecting to happen when he created a chance after receiving a great obvious whack on the arm a few seconds previous?

This is probably the most boring Premier League season of all time so far! We still have another 4 months of it to go. Even the relegation battle isn't saying much this time.
