English Premier League - 2020/21 (update: 21/22)

Agreed, I’ve said it under some comments on yt too, ole is ruining the club. Decisions like these he is making is clearly showing his favouritism, he is ready to let off a world class proven goalie and making a bet with a young goalkeeper who may not even live up to his hype or potential.

To say he is world class is a bit embarrassing - how many howlers and mistakes has he made in the last year? Do world class players do this so regularly? He in my opinion is overrated and to say he gets paid 1.4 million and still have so many howlers is not good enough. Lets agree to differ. BTW Henderson is not a replacement - that i have to agree with you.

This year I haven’t seen him make any mistakes, maybe 1, last season yes, but every goalkeeper makes some mistakes, you can’t write him off over one bad season. Rn who can we get to be better than de gea, no one. De gea this season has saved us so many times.

Arsenal Europa QF campaign in trouble as SPraga leads on away goals

Solid win for Man U yesterday. Could clearly see how angry the players were after Son's Oscar worthy performance leading to the first United goal being ruled out.

Son really must be embarrassed at the way he fell over as if he had been shot.....

Have to say performance of the week has to be Leeds beating Man City - didnt see that coming especially down to 10 men for the whole of the 2nd half.....

The DDG situationis an odd one. He's an excellent shot stopper, but his distribution isn't great, he's never been one to boss the backline and he defintely doesn't like to play the role of sweeper keeper which the modern game increasingly demands.

He has been world class, but i think a part of that has always been helped by how far back we've sat as a team meaning that any shots that did come in relied on his instinct, which i think is better than his judgement. I don't have the stats to prove it, but i reckon DDG is better when he only has a short time to make a decision, rather than if he's got a few seconds to watch a 1 on 1 or can see a counter attack build up behind a high back line.

I'm not sure Henderson is the answer. In my opinion he has to prove himself. He got the first team slot because DDG was away on paternity leave. Now he's back, he's got to earn the first team slot back, equally Henderson has to prove he's worthy of keeping it. Personally DDG is the first name on the teamsheet for me.

DDG is on ridiculous money and is therefore not a long term option for us unfortunately. If we want to keep him beyond 2023 we will have to allocate an even larger share of the budget to him which is just impossible in my opinion. I would rather we make Henderson the number 1 already and give him more PL and CL/Europa League experience.

Oh yeah, i see no value in keeping him longer than his current contract if he's very expensive. He doesn't add as much value to the team nowadays as his wage packet reflects. If he wants to stay and compete for a spot - fine, if not we should get a good price for him. He's an excellent keeper, but we're evolving as a team from what we were 3-4 years ago.

No doubt an excellent keeper agreed and for so many seasons he was the only world class player in our squad. In that context his wage is not surprising and given the norms of modern day football even justifiable. Nevertheless as you are saying United have evolved now and keeping him in the squad with his astronomical wages is actually holding us back now. He is good but not that good relative to the rest of the squad.

Arsenal dominate SU. In 9th place. To hover around 8th to 10th. Don't see them any better than this

Glad Martinelli got to play from start yesterday. The youth are your way out of the mid-table. You can see the hunger in players like Saka and Rowe. Otherwise Arsenal need to spend big but Kroenke is not going to do that.

European super league confirmed, thats football ruined for everyone now, they have officially killed off the sport for their own greed, killed off the whole English football system, and I’m disgusted by the glazers and everyone who took the initiative to make this stupid decision.

Disgusting decision and at the worst possible time as well given the economic climate and covid. Millions are struggling to find jobs across Europe and these greedy billionaires think people would gladly accept them destroying the soul of football, a lonely source of joy for so many in these difficult times. How detached are they from the rest of society for them to even remotely think was a good idea that fans would love.

As a United fan this is beyond embarrassing and couldn't agree with Gary Neville more when he said earlier today that this decision will lead to fans leaving the club.
