Re: Why we are going down

Our team's net cost over the past 2 seasons is about £90 million. Isak cost a reported £70 million.

This isn’t Traffords fault or a dig at Trafford but we are simply going down because kompany refused to play the best goalkeeper at the club for the first 28 games of the season, simple as that.

So we were beating Brighton (3 points) before Muric’s error converted that to 1.

And we were drawing with Everton (1 point) before Muric’s error converted that to 0.

And you think he cost us 4 points?
