This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Worse than that, I think by wcnitz

I think they're more like 7-8 players away. Sanchez appears to be a write-off at this point. The whole back line is bad and it may be generous to call it bottom table quality. Jose had that bus firmly parked and Cube found himself standing alone about 16 yards out twice. Liverpool just assaulted the goal. That's been par for the course this season.

I love Lukaku, but he's not looked right since the WC and he's NOT getting the service. Rashford is really inconsistent, as is Martial. Maybe some of that is due to Jose's management, but who knows? They dropped 50M on Fred. Pogba is another matter entirely. It will be interesting to see if this change enables him to seize the opportunity or just continue to be Pogba.

I have my popcorn ready to watch the soap opera now that the baby faced assassin is running things. And I did actually name my son after him.
