And Simeone subbing Griezmann after 60 minutes despite him scoring twice. What a melon.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
This doesn't count as a negative ffs. Clearly being rested.
He subs Griezmann in pretty much everything game ffs.
He's played 90 minutes in the league just three times in 24 games. In all of the other competitions Simeone hasn't trusted him to play all 90 minutes at all.
Annoying when that happens tbf. I think this weekend has probably been one of the best i've had in terms of players getting playing time tbf. So much green! So many starts <3

That's not too bad actually Damien. Can't believe you put bookings on there! 
Yeah, wasn't as bad as I first thought. Did same with assists Bit surprised with the number of bookings actually, thought there'd be more than the two.
Here's who are left to play:

Depay, Dier starting...
Eriksen, Davies, Zivkovic on the bench...
Rekik injured still
For me... Sanson is the only player who's played so far today, he's starting for Montpellier. Rest to be confirmed.
Fair to say that Pochettino is a massive dick. Eriksen is 10x the player Lamela is.
For some reason I forgot to include Milik in that list. He starts.
Udinese game postponed so Perica won't be making a 3 min appearance from the bench today.
Indeed, Scuffet won't make his weekly appearance sitting on the bench either. Hate Serie A.
In other news Sanson scored and Korb starts.
Yes! Lucas Silva starts again. Thank you for being injured Rodriguez and Modric!
Poop, Ramos is injured.
I remember it was me and you bidding for him. Bit gutted I missed out on him tbh but ah well.Eric Bailly got injured for Villarreal and has just come off on his debut. Annoyingly he seemed to recover from his injury but was replaced anyway.
Vietto comes on for the final 20mins after being rested and has just scored via a terrible goalkeeping error.
31 of my players have had minutes so far and only 1 ruddy assist.
The Bas Dost thread reminds me of cidersham90000
Won 2:1 in a tense game away to Stoke.
Oh dear Spurs.
Oh dear Spurs.
Look at my match. I hate this match engine so much.
Beat West Brom 2-1.
Ouch
Nasri chose the perfect time to pick up a suspension. Misses the cup game against Burnley (which he was going to do anyway) and will be back for the next league game
8 consecutive wins in all comps and top of the table. It'll go tits up at some point guaranteed.Lost 4-1 to Swansea. This game sucks balls.
Solid victory again. Upto 2nd now once table updates
31 of my players have had minutes so far and only 1 ruddy assist.
I think I only had one assist too until Isco apparently assisted Ronaldo. Will look through today's players later on
Not bad, I dick you a bit on players with 90mins though! Jealous of Hassen though, you did well on that player. /shakes fist
Fingers crossed... that was fun times when we were negotiating over which players we should go for. I'd like to see him keep a few more clean sheets, but 8 in 23 league apps and 26 goals conceded ain't too bad considering his age.
Last season Ospina conceded 25 goals in 29 league apps, keeping 13 clean sheets
I honestly have no idea which young players I came out with during that negotiation but I think i've probably sold em all!
His stats are pretty similar to Lloris' debut season so far:

Thanks! They've got marginally better CS/A but so far Hassen's GC/A is better. Nice still have to play most of the teams above them including both PSG and Lyon so his goals conceded per app stat will probably end up around the same as those two... depends really
Didn't realise Valdes was so dirty when starting off at Barcelona
Aye, surprising! I didn't know he had a dark streak in him early on.
The annoying thing about Scuffet is that his "replacement" Karnezis has the following stats:
23 Apps, 31 GC, 5 CS.
GC/A = 1.35
CS/A = 0.22
Pretty much identical Goals Conceded Ratio but a fair bit lower Clean Sheet ratio to Scuffets stats last season. Yet Scuffet is "protected", it's utterly bizarre.
After Scuffet's great debut season they really should have trusted him this season too. Interesting that Atletico almost bought him though he'd probably have been playing the "Oblak role" this season there anyway if he had moved.
It's just the usual Serie A way. Ignore your kids and bring in an older player then they wonder why their National Team is shit. He should get the hell out of the Italian league if he wants to develop as he's still got a decent reputation from his work last season.
