Muric hasn't played against a Premier league press. In the cup v Everton he conceded against their clweakened team, I'm not saying who's better just agreeing with the observation.
Yes; that's fair enough. UTC

I think that is a very salient point, the speed that we get pressed in the Premier league is quite different.

We need two keepers and are lucky to have both. Last season Muric had lots of options to pass to largely, this season whoever keeps for us doesn’t have that ‘luxury’. I don't disagree, however Muric was able to find some passes against Everton last month that Trafford could only dream of** **I am n...

Worse than Pickfords? 🤔 Thing is, we’ve been spoiled by having Muric last year, who for the most part was like Beckenbauer at the back. Murics’ distribution has to be close to being the best ever seen from a keeper. We've still got Muric...we were spoilt, but have chosen not to utilise that distrib...

If its price over speed, then I'd suggest: Manchester- Crewe using Northern Trains. Some fares as little as £3.50 single Then Crewe-Euston using West midlands trains Both these operators still offer decent advance fares on those routes.

I’d presume it was the Oldham game which we won 2-1? He’d been sent off in mid week but bans didn’t start for a week then. He only played three home games, Grimsby, WBA and Oldham. I think we can rule Grimsby out with it being his debut. Was he sent off at Barnsley in midweek? Was that the Kevin Ly...
