No monday game!! So happy.

 

[Peen]

Wonder if there's a resolution on Fofana in the next 48H given that we'll play them on Saturday.

Both teams really need a win

It's because MW5 is midweek

 

[JeffreyLFC]

It's because MW5 is midweek

I know. I hate weekdays game but Monday are the worse...

 

[hatterson]

I love midweek games. Toss it on a secondary monitor while I'm coding. Excellent way to break up the afternoons.

Yeah midweeks good. Monday and Friday are not for me and screw my whole week up.

 

[Savant]

Monday Night Football is not for soccer

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Forest look better than I'd initially thought they would, but expecting a 3-1 win for Spurs. Sonny is going to get off if the mark and we'll see goals from Kane and Richarlison as well.

 

[hockey20000]

glad forest it back up and hope they stay up but 3-1 for my spurs please

 

[Savant]

Forest has more newly signed players than LFC have healthy senior players.

 

[Savant]

Of course Zaha is out this weekend. Typical.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Nah, typical is Martial with a 45 minute cameo on Monday, out with an achilles injury by Saturday....

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I expect to see Spence make his debut this week. I think Sess will start one match and Perisic the other with Spence on the bench for both and I’d love to see him come on as a sub

Don't worry, if he is injured he can never get that Ballon D'or bonus. It's better for the books this way

 

[The Abusement Park]

Nah, typical is Martial with a 45 minute cameo on Monday, out with an achilles injury by Saturday....

also typical. United beat Liverpool, lose to Southampton 2-0

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Since they are showing Leeds on USA and the City/Liverpool/Chelsea matches will all be on Peacock, I think I am most fascinated to see how Chelsea react. So Leeds on TV and Chelsea on the Mac.

Pub

Pub

I am going to my Spurs bar tomorrow for their match. I am now too old to go out on Friday night, go to a pub Saturday and follow that up with a Sunday Drunch.

I wonder how many thinks Man Utd are the favorites against Southampton after Liverpool win.
In my books, Southampton are the favorites to win that match.

1) They play at home
2) They have a better record this season
3) Liverpool win didn't mean anything for United, Liverpool been a complete mess this early season
4) The United problems didn't magically disappear after their previous match
5) They have good enough squad to beat United's side

Oh for sure. That’s the impossible. Dead by Monday.

If I were to wager, I would bet on an uninspiring draw

I think the two most common scenarios are to come out flat, go down by a goal or two and try to rally in the second half after ETH screams at them at half.

Or starting strong, getting a goal or two, and then totally resting back and letting Southampton come back into the game a lot.

 

[HoseEmDown]

These uniforms are brutal on this pitch, can't hardly see the players. Who's idea was it to pick a green that matches the grass?
