I haven't been following EPL too closely, but I think Rodri is a big part and they have some other injuries as well. Maybe not players out, but hampered and playing? Don't quote me on that. Hope the Reds can take advantage this weekend.

Nothing really to crazy. Everton had a strong 20-30 minutes in the first half, but after that MU was just clinical with their chances. One of Rashford's went off an Everton CB but it had Pickford beat so that is why it wasn't an own goal. Others were simple finishes to be honest so those numbers for MU seem a bit off. New system is still getting kinks worked out as United does look vulnerable to counter attacks, but in time with Shaw, Mainoo, and a few others getting healthy they at least have some options.
You sure did jump on that bandwagon at a good time...pre Klop they were about 2-3 decades without a title. They look poised to win a few more here coming up.
It's a pretty crazy collapse. Usually you'll see some teams fall out of favor while dropping a game or two here or there. City has just laid down. Pep literally scratched up his head last week in frustration.
Pretty bad look for him with the 6 fingers. I thought he was above that sort of thing.
Pep is a good coach, don't get me wrong.....but he's also coached the most talented teams on the planet. Winning at City with the Saudi financing scheme and Barcelona with Messi kind of makes me question him a bit. If Forest even gets a point mid week this week, he may really snap.
I've been pretty busy that past few weeks/weekends, and haven't had the opportunity to post highlights, or even the TV schedule for last weekend. Sorry about that.

Tom, thanks for responding to my dm request a few weeks back. I was sent a photo of the finished product, perfect. Thought you’d like to know.
From yesterday:
FT: Liverpool 2, Fulham 2
Surprising result, but I’ll take it. Fulham took an early 1-0 lead, then Liverpool was given a red card a few minutes later (Andy Robertson). 17 minutes into the match, down 1-0 and down a man.
Liverpool drew even, 1-1. Then Fulham regained the lead, 2-1. Liverpool again pulled even at 2-2 in the 86th minute (Diogo Jota). That’s how it ended. I’ll take it under the circumstances.
