they have a chance of still beating at least one of :

1. Atletico
2. The most attackingest team ... in the world. Ever.
3. Huddersfield

Which of the above does not have their game as
a "cup final" ...
Leicester look absolutely awful at the moment, so you'd expect a win there, at least.
 
From Sky Sports

Marouane Fellaini’s goal is the 12th by a Man Utd sub in PL this season, more than any other team
4 Martial
3 Lingard
2 Rashford, Fellaini
1 Lukaku


Does anyone know how many we've got off the bench. I'm guessing it isn't in double figures? That's one thing that happens when you've got a huge playing resource, you win games by bringing on really good subs.
Martial is the stand out sub. His pace and directness causes teams trouble.
But it's baffling why he isn't given more chance to do it from the start

Firmino signed a new deal at Liverpool. Apparently he’s on £180,000 a week. Quick question, how can Liverpool pay players big money but we can’t?
 
Liverpool also decided not to spend the huge sums involved in building a new stadium (despite acquiring land for one).They chose to redevelop Anne Field.
Spurs have a huge financial commitment to a new stadium.

Sponsorship mate, I know it's been said many times but you need to win something to get your name out there.
I know people take this piss about Liverpool and history but they have a far bigger world wide "brand" than Spurs. This means they get way more in terms of sponsorship deals in the far East and Asia for example.
Liverpool, United and Arsenal are well in advance of us in that area imo

Don't forget their 2nd hand cars and car parts business.

There have been pre-requisite costs for THFC in
the prep work for the new WHL construction.

However the accounts probably show over the years since
2011 that the average annual costs of the above over that
period have been at worst 15m pa (if even as much as that) .

Just to put that into perspective, a player on 20K/week
costs the club 1m pa in wages.

Levy has made it clear that the club is expected to
operate soundly as is, and the debt burden for new WHL
will not affect the core finances for on-pitch matters
(in contrast to the excuses our neighbours made that the
Library debt servicing being the main cause for their
on-pitch decline) .
 
I expect we'll hear details of Salah's ban today.

Oh hang on a minute, perhaps not as I haven't heard the incident mentioned anywhere except on social media. It's almost as if certain parties are only interested if certain players are involved.

There's three obvious explanations
i.) Fenway Sports Group have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, for example John Henry's said that their pie-fisting exploits see them make far more money from a Red Sox match than a Saltypool one
ii.) Several years of the Champions League places being a closed shop mean there's plenty of cash sloshing around that we don't have
iii.) The £105m they received for Coutinho in January
