Luke Shaw is not very good at non-trying - remember Liverpool 7 United 0!
Watch him on first two Bournemouth goals yesterday and tell me that man is putting in a professional performance

Normal?

United lost based on the idiocy that there is an advantage to performing worse than your opponents in the match prior to a key game - sometimes it can help in very liquid markets but, as a simple plug in, it has got far more complex over the years and managers like Ten Hag and Rodgers who still willy nilly utilise the template without any holistic assessment of the reality are dinosaurs

Normal??

The shenanigans on out-underperforming FC Bayern pales into insignificance when two other factors are incorporated: i) Bayern have nothing to play for and ii) Copenhagen and Galatasaray can reach an internal agreement so that United can't qualify

Normal???

A Madley and Brooks in CP v Liv and Gillett and Salisbury in AV v Ars ruined the two major live events yesterday - Madley versus Brooks was more exciting than the play until Madley and Brooks got competitive over their proprietary agendas and it spilled over into our reality
