Paul Pogba picked up a slightly fortuitous assist to return us 5pts but with Robbie Brady scoring 2pts and Heung Min Son saving his goals for the Champions League we had no chance. Unfortunately the rest of our midfield didn’t really do too much to pick up the slack. Over 1.5m teams had him going into this game so at least we aren’t alone.

So, when you have Sadio Mane doing his best Eric Cantona impression in the first game of the week you kind of know it’s going to be a tough week.

Rotation clearly an issue for the bulk of our back five. Granted, Toby Alderweireld scored 5pts but with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Danny Simpson combining for 0pts and Maya Yoshida and Rob Holding being benched it wasn’t a good week. 8pts instead of a benched 2pts is a huge relief.Īt the back we had very little to celebrate. I had thought that both would concede but thankfully Swansea really are as impotent as expected now that Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente have left. But thankfully we trusted Newcastle a little more than Crystal Palace. Well f*ck me sideways and call me Sue, I FINALLY got the GK choice correct. The only small positive is it meant the rest of the team averaged 5pts which is really not too bad.Īfter about 48 hours of gameweek 4 finishing I finally plucked up the courage to review the team for this write up so let’s have a look at the damage. To be fair when you start the week with three Liverpool players and they combine for -1pt you kind of know you’re on a hide into nothing. One more sub 40pt week and there’s a real chance I get Frank de Boer’d! Thirty nine! Exactly the same total as gameweek 3 as well. First week back after the International break and we post another 39pt week. Well, that was a load of old sh*te wasn’t it.
