Stranded Bloody good hit for the winner it has to be said.
Pleased to say it was scored by Sebastian Thill, a Luxembourg international

URZZZZ Reaction from Van De Beek was interesting last night. He was clearly a decent player for Ajax but can’t get going at United. Sure, he hasn’t been given much of an opportunity but with the squad depth they have, that’s a luxury that can’t be afforded
Do feel sympathy though if his move was blocked in the summer for the promise of first team football as his situation has barely improved

Every time he has had a chance he has been poor, think it is just a case of the move being too soon for him. Pressure at United is immense.

Agree
Although must be somewhat demoralising to see Fred chosen ahead of you time after time. He’s improved but he’s still far away from being United level quality

Winston Biscuit Is the pressure at Man Utd really that much more compared to the pressure at Ajax if you are Dutch?

Yeah I think so, mainly due to the games being much tougher to play in. You have to perform or you get found out. When playing against Vitesse Arnham for Ajax you know going into it that even if you have an off day it is likely you'll still be too strong for the opposition. He is at the biggest club in the world playing in front of a bigger audience with a huge fee hanging over his head, pressure is huge imo.
Even the worst team in the Premier League would have a decent shot of finishing in the top 3 of the Eredivisie imo, weak league.

ah ok, I was thinking pressure more in terms of media pressure/expectation than the standards of the respective leagus.
Disagree on the final comment though. You think Norwich have a decent shot at being better than Ajax, Feyenoord & PSV Eindhoven (the traditional big 3 there)?!

Winston Biscuit Celtic kicked off at 3:30 this afternoon as UEFA won't allow non CL games be played at the same time as CL games, and they couldn't play on Thursday as Rangers are playing at home then.

Wondered if this was a scheduling fcuk up on UEFA's part then, but it appears that this match was brought forward by one matchday, i.e. two weeks, so as to the avoid the COP26 climate change conference being held in Glasgow, and it is that that caused the clash with the Rangers home game.

NathStPaul Must say it was quite nice to have some live football on in the afternoon. Long may it continue.

They should've done this when fans weren't allowed in. Tiered KO times for midweek games would've been excellent during peak lockdown.
