New CEO new thread.

The change of biggest impact should be a new CEO and a new DOF. Waiting for our current DOF to follow.

Hi there. I am still subscribed to Sooka though via Maxis.
I think it's 20 bucks for Maxis members.

Sooka is still Astro live feed. But at least the dollar amount you pay just for sports is lower.

My internet connection is pretty bad at times so I wouldn't say HD.
Watchable.

I see other sports in the Live channels so I'm assuming yes.
Though I have not done any side by side comparisons.

Rooney looking super slim and tanned.

Fabrizio confirmed there is nothing on with Griezmann.
Media just doing media things to get views using the United name.

Kinda jives with what we know. Don't play him near our box, play him near the opposition box.

Rashford's form only comes during the year before his contract expires.
Once renewed, he's back to no-form this season.

Sancho has just been a bad apple all round.

Martial is Joel Glazer's favourite, under expectations and the new Phil Jones.

With all the injuries, it's amazing how Bruno racks up the amount of minutes he has and stays available. Truly one of the only world class players we have.

It's not just the strikers, if I'm not mistaken the 178 shots is for the entire squad.
Everyone needs to go for shooting practice.

OMG Garnacho!!!

If I were an Everton fan, I'd be raging right now.

It's a 3-0 win. Enjoy it.
And we did say the results are more important with the injury crisis we have. We'd all take a scrappy 1-0 win instead of a beautiful football but lose 0-1. So we did get what we want and more.

Young. Let's not forget the fact that we dug so deep in our squad that our midfield depended on a fresh 18 year old. Kobbie Mainoo.
What an impressive performance for an 18 year old. That exceeded my expectations put on a youth player. The coaches and the manager should be proud. Garnacho, everyone is talking about.

Older. Maguire put in a shift and he is never one to be distributing from the back. Martial got on the scoresheet, Rashford got on the scoresheet. They needed the goals for confidence.
Onana started the season with so much criticism, but he is now the joint holder for the most clean sheets in the League. That is quite a turnaround story.

Maguire. In a cohesive unit like Barca where build-up is paramount, he does not fit. In a frankenstein squad ravaged by injury to keep together, defender deep and grind a result; he is in his element. Maguire hasn't changed, just the circumstances around him. Now that we need to defend deep and scrape in games, he is pulling his weight. Look at that period of sustained Everton pressure, Maguire did pretty well there. When you want points despite playing like crap, Maguire has to start.

Hojlund. I'm not worried about him not scoring in the PL as he has done his business in the CL. Let's not forget, Hojlund has put the ball in the back of the net just for VAR to cancel it out. In the CL where VAR shenanigans are less, he's been scoring. Give him time. Goals will come.

Amrabat. He needs time to settle into the team. Give him time. Just like Casemiro whom we bought and didn't start for the first 10 or so games. Then when he did, he worked well within our system. Plus his release clause in the loan contract is only 17M, sign him up even as good cover.

I am so relieved to get the win because of how good that Garnacho goal was. Would be a shame if it got diminished because of a loss.

We should all be talking about that goal. It was better than Rooney's!

Tis' not the time to be negative boys. We might need to go back into the cave after Newcastle so let's all enjoy the sun.

Premier League actually care about fans in Asia.
If early game, all the United fans will get angry by 10pm and beat their wife. By having 3am kickoff, reduce domestic abuse cases.

Garnacho caught the ball while Rooney shinned it. I like the goal from a technical execution standpoint.

It's now up there for Top 3 bicycle kicks in my book - Garnacho. Ronaldo. Bale. You all can probably see it already from memory. Especially the CR7 for RM against Juve. Even their fans stood up to applaud that one.

You mean the one against England?
That one was far out, yes. Different strokes for different fans.

Best part of this is after watching football for decades, can recall all these goals from memory.
Whereas I forget what I ate for dinner yesterday too easily.

For me, the two that will make the biggest difference is Martinez and Shaw.
Our passing base collapsed when both these players got injured as none of our other players had the passing qualities to break pressure that these two had. So now we have a GK to pass the ball out, but no CB to take the ball off him. Which feels like some sort of ironic joke.

Think the popular box midfield formation. Mount and Bruno were the twin 8s at the top of the box to receive possession higher up the pitch. Martinez was to be the one stepping into midfield to tandem with Casemiro at the base of the midfield. Shaw usually received on the left and was able to distribute under pressure, inverting in to create overloads if necessary. AWB or Dalot could stay wide off the right. Without the 2 of Martinez and Shaw, the base of the box was compromised and the twin 8s were an unstable formation.
