    I honestly don't think there is another club gig that Howe would take on. He's absolutely perfect for us, the England job is probably the only thing that might tempt him but I think he'd probably prefer that to be at least 5 years down the line.

    This is what I think. Howe is here for many years to come and like you say only the England role may be of interest.

    I'm thinking that Newton Heath FC will go for the Crystal Palace boss Glasner if they sack Ruben Hammer'im

    Hopefully Steve Bruce will get in there first.

    They look solid as don’t they. Very tidy passing team. Shows you don’t have to spend millions.

    When I say this. What I mean is it’s what you do with the ball.

    Not the mindless passing for the sake of it. They are direct in their approach.

    Pep has created this culture of passing for the sake of passing for stats. When it’s much better to move the ball quickly and players not to be scared of a failed pass.

    Every single game has a VAR **** up these days. I swear without VAR the refs got less wrong.

    Nah you've just forgot and they didn't dissect every decision for a week on TV, but VAR is now used to fix matches very easily imo. The rules and VAR are a match fixing, spot betting machine.

    Some interesting results last night for us

    USG beating PSV (both who we play) but USG were the underdogs there.
    Benefica (who we play) lost to Qarabag who were again probably the underdogs.
    Marseille (another team we face) lost to 10 man Madrid despite taking the lead.
    Arsenal beat Athletic (who we play) with nearly 2/3rd's possession so hopefully the staff will be watching that game over and over getting an idea on how to break them down.
    Dortmund and Juve dropping points against each other was another positive result.

    Usual suspects all winning tonight. UEFA will be delighted. Not even a need for var match fixing.

    Not a pen, but there’s ubiquitous late Liverpool goal.

    They are the new Manu in late goals.

    But it sickens me. The Liverpool fans seem to get all the luck.
