Fred really is absolutely pants isn't he?

That free kick at the end was ridiculous. I reckon the ball landed closer to Brazil than he's ever been...

Exactly that Mal

Need a quality striker too. It's alright playing the kids and I'm all for it but winning clubs have winning habits and that's scoring goals, too inconstant up front Martial and Rashford unfortunately. They went the same with Welbeck and it did not happen, need to put them out 9n loan for me, get them scoring and get their confidence up. There's a massive ask upon them to score and deliver

Here's one for you, name the successful young strikers who have come through and made an impact at big clubs where they started out. I'm struggling to think of one. Micheal Owen? he was inconsistent and they won **** all with him up front. Robbie Fowler? Danny Welbeck?

For me you have to think Aguero or Suarez for example and then you think how close the completion is and it's way off in UTDs case

I think Utd need a proper centre forward like Kane. Rashford and martial both want to come in from the wings rather than through the centre. Thing is that at the moment who's going to go there? They're not going to attract the best players at the moment. Never got the fuss about welbeck to be honest.

They need a new defence as well. And the quicker they ditch pogba the better. He's only half as good as he thinks he is and doesn't deserve the astronomical wage he's on. He's just trouble. I can't imagine there's much respect for him amongst the rest of the squad.

Owen was great. I saw him come on for collymore in his first game down at selhurst when I was living in London (don't tell the cockernees) and he got a massive cheer when he scored. Better than a goal every two games is hardly inconsistent and we did win a treble with him and Fowler in 2001. Think we won 5 trophies that year with the super cup and charity shield. He was never quite the same after his big hamstring injury but still stuck them away. They might not have won the league but both definitely made big impact.

As for others, it's not an easy one. Raul at Madrid? Del piero? Does Messi count? In this country I'd say Kane has been the key player for the spuds. He's home grown isn't he?

Owen was superb , lightning pace ,played alongside my nephew at liverpool boys , at the age of 13 they were playing 3 games a week no wonder he burned out , he actually never got on with robbie and it showed in the final against Arsenal.
And yes we are World Champions.

Another toughie tonight Mal , just on my way down , see kane out for 6 weeks thats a blow for the already crying maureen.

They were tough to beat at their place. Can see them playing the same tactics tonight. Hopefully klopp won't rotate too many for this evening and leave that for the Everton game.

I'd settle for another 1-0 and no knocks



6 weeks without Kane is really going to give him something to moan about. He'll probably blame ndombele for that too

Nah... Everton haven't been a big club since the 80's...

We were quietly brilliant tonight. Could have had 2 or 3 more goals if not for their keeper. New record for passes in one game at 969... even pep's city can't match that.

Matip, lovren, Fabinho, the ox to come back from injury and minamino ready to go.

I reckon Harry Kane looked at the upcoming fixtures and just didn't fancy it...
