I don't want this to be a post dedicated to shitting on Sanchez. We know he's been bad. But a lot of the time he gets a pass and I've seen little discussion as to why it's not working for him. I personally don't think calling for him to be dropped is the answer.

I decided to compare Sanchez to every regular that has taken up a forward / attacking role at the top 6 teams. That's 28 individuals plus Sanchez and Mkhi prior to their moves. This is Premier League only.

The stats are taken from transfermarkt. For the sake of convenience I've taken stats from the start of 17/18. Would have taken me an age to calculate each individual since Sanchez arrived. Only a handful of players have played

Hi guys, a little bored on my day off so I thought I might as well do a write up about the unprecedented success of Dizzee Rascal's album Tongue n' Cheek which produced more UK number ones than Ed Sheeran has ever had. Don't be put off by the [Grime] tag, this album isn't anything like what is starting to make it over the pond like Skepta and Stormzy, this is a dance classic so hopefully you'll give him a chance.

Its just a bit of fun pop-rap

In 2009 UK hip-hop / grime artist Dizzee Rascal released his fourth studio album Tongue n' Cheek. Dizzee Rascal made a name for himself in 2003 with his debut album Boy in da Corner which was met with widespread acclaim and to this da

Mourinho has always played with a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 with a single pivot. Just the one striker up top. If we were to sign Ibra, he'd no doubt be the first name on the team sheet which is quite the exciting prospect. But where does this leave Martial, Rooney and Memphis?

• Memphis hasn't been fantastic for us over the season but still has undeniable talent and in a Mou's counter attacking style, I fully expect him to flourish.

• Martial is another player I expect to flourish under Mou however I believe his best played as a striker. He is fantastic with the ball at his feet but the end product isn't always there. He doesn't have that creative flair like Di Maria did and doesn't know when

This isn't a rant. Today we were poor. Players didn't turn up, tactics were wrong (which is OK, it happens) and Arsenal were brilliantly both going forward and at defending. I'm upset we rolled over so easy and showed no fight but Arsenal were great today. Sanchez in particular was unplayable.

If we've learnt anything from this season, its that we struggle to beat a team with a half competent defense throwing bodies behind the ball. Even 19th place Newcastle held us to a 0-0 draw. We simply don't create enough and we don't have any flair going forward.

**Just to put it into perspective, this season (prior to this game) Memphis, Young, Rooney and Mata had created 32 chances in total. Our

Scored: 31 Conceded: 16

Prior to April 4th they were set to finish dead last in the table and be relegated. Today they sit second in the table after 6 games played, unbeaten in their last 10 league games. They are also the leading scorers in the league with 13 goals (2 more than City and West Ham who have a game in hand). Despite all this, they are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

What a turn around. But what changed for Leicester and could they potentially qualify for the Europa League (probably not)?

I'm not going to pretend that I've seen much of Pereira outside of pre-season but from what I've seen and heard from others, he is a top talent, a player with flair and creativity.

So when I look at the bench and saw not one single attacking player I was surprised to say the least. We didn't lack chances but towards the end of the match especially we were playing desperate and predictable football. Mata wasn't up for it tonight and we could have done with a player like Pereira on the bench, someone with something to prove.

I'm not saying Pereira would have made a massive difference but I think we've cocked up big time by loaning Januzaj as our attacking options are pretty much non-existen

I'm not a Borussia Dortmund fan so I don't catch many matches but I keep seeing people on reddit label Reus as "injury prone" when regarding a transfer elsewhere: "Reus would be a great signing but he is really injury prone".

Can anyone actually clarify this because I just checked his career record and it showed he only missed a significant amount of games last season. In the seasons prior to that he made 30, 32, 32, 34 and 33 appearances (not sure how many he started) for BVB and Gladbach. So that means prior to last season, Reus had missed a total of 9 league games in 5 seasons or a possible 170 games which i wouldn't consider injury prone.

Was the injury one players usually struggle to

AS are reporting United have just had a £20.1m bid rejected for Oblak of Atletico Madrid. Whether this be true or not, De Gea looks set to leave with Casillas having moved to Porto which begs the question as to who should be his successor?

Do we stick to the capable Valdes or opt for a much younger keeper like Oblak or Leno? Should we be in the market for Lloris who seems keen on playing CL football?

The official Barclays Premier League fantasy football league has finally updated and my question to you is which United players make your team and why?

Its worth noting some players are fairly pricey. Memphis for an example costs £8.5m which is a fair amount considering the other top players are also pricier this time around with most of the top performing players from last season increasing by a significant amount.

Players worth a punt (£100m budget, max of 3 from each team):

• Di Maria £8.5m - If Di Maria find old form, £8.5m is a bargain for his point turnout. Will he be fit for the start of the season?

• Smalling £6.0m - A fair price but will guar

I hear many refer to RHCP as a singles band but I feel most of their singles can't even compare with some of their non-singles. So I was wondering about which songs would appear in your top 10 (no particular order).

Mine: I Could Have Lied, The Righteous & The Wicked, Sir Psycho Sexy, Purple Stain, Quixoticelixer, Can't Stop, Venice Queen, Rivers of Avalon, Death of a Martian, Pink as Floyd
