He scored against Liverpool... Though he wasn't great overall I'll admit. Of course no one can be brilliant every game. Personally I'd love Mbappe here. Though in terms of potential he's way off Messi imo.

Well it would make sense if that was the case, would it not? Imagine being sexually assaulted. As bad as that is, image being sexually assaulted by someone with wealth and fame and all that entails. Not surprising if the woman after consideration would consider it futile to press charges. But...

Oh absolutely I agree that C Ronaldo's background forged him, or at least played a significant part. My point is merely that just because he (possibly) sexually abused someone doesn't mean he was himself assaulted in turn. It's entirely possible to become a narcissist without such trauma. As it...

He's a narcissist no doubt, but so are lots of people. Yes he's an extreme case, but to even speculate as to him suffering sexual abuse based on absolutely no evidence, huge stretch. What about Trump for example, similar pathology, would you ascribe his personality disorder to sexual abuse...

He's always been slow and weak and doesn't score. Maybe it's just nostalgia, I don't know, but I still maintain in the right system he's the best there is. Even today when he was poor there were numerous examples of him bring calmness to our game, showing composure to resist the press and...

Oh I agree, and more than anyone I blame Valverde. Re Coutinho, however, I'm not just talking about his time here, I'm talking about Liverpool too, where he was good but nowhere near worth what we paid. For the price of him and Dembele we could have got, say, Thiago and Hazard, and be a much...

Really quiet, seemed scared to try anything after playing poorly last game. He needs to contribute more, it's as simple as that.

Yeah, agree. Imo he's massively over rated on here. Very good on his day but nowhere near world's best, which he should be for the price. Nice goal, couple of good link ups in opening 20, but after that nothing, just like the whole team.

First goal gets caught beneath the ball, too slow to recover. Offered absolutely nothing going forward either. Don't get me wrong the whole team was awful, but he's too poor a defender to contribute so little in attack.

Fergie didn't give him the game time he wanted. Tbh I don't know that he's obsessively Utd, but my impression is he's loyal to the extent most players are these days. Certainly I'd say Mourinho's his problem not so much the club, though if they continue to underperform... For what it's worth if...

Maybe, but Robben for example is much better at going past players, making it easier for him to get into good positions before shooting. Coutinho, although very good on the ball, just doesn't have that ability to progress, or not as easily/effectively, and so he ends up shooting from worse...

Too predictable for my liking. It's why I wanted him to play cm, open up the pitch a bit more for him. But it seems all he wants to do is cut inside and shoot. Hey if one of those shots goes in great, but I'd just like to see him vary his game a bit more is all.

Thought he was encouraging myself. Composed on the ball, always willing to receive it even under pressure, plus tenacious without, won possession back well. Definitely he needs to be more progressive long term, and personally I'd like to see him break forward with the ball more, but for a first...

We were pretty good 11 v 11, pressing well, dominant without creating loads. Big 45 mins coming up.

Well either way he'll miss one game for sure. Personally think it was harsh, and that's coming from someone who can't stand Ronaldo.

Meh. Wasn't great last season by any means. Technically he's good but nowhere near what I expected, sharp but not quick particularly, and yeah, good movement. A poacher, in other words. But he's actually quite a poor finisher, so not even an effective poacher. Pep seems to like him, and he's...

Not sure if you're being serious, but either way I kind of agree. I never 100% warmed to Neymar even at Barca, and the way he left, plus his antics... As a person he's incredibly unlikeable. However in purely footballing terms it's such a shame what seems to be happening. He's got the talent to...

Really stupid. Gets wound up far too easily.

Whoever plays RB is hamstrung in an attacking sense by Messi's reluctance to stick to his position. (undrestandable when our mid play like today.) That being said Semedo needs to be braver in possession, and needs to earn his teammates trust. How he's supposed to do that when Valverde makes him...

Shame he didn't take his chance. But to be honest I see nothing in him that warrants him getting mins over Arthur and Alena (when fit.)
