Gonna be fascinating !
Hjolund got 13 in 41 last season. Hardly scoring "loads of goals," but he is young with time to get better and make the step up.

Hjolund is so young though with bags of ability and potential

I agree.

I personally don't even agree with a body part meaning that you're offside anyway.

The goal should've stood imo.

Yep . Completely agree

I’d start Garnacho on the left always


Though I guess Rashford will play left now Hjolund is available

The whole system needs sorting out ..

The offside rules needs adjustment

The handball rule is ridiculous

VAR is completely inept and not fit for purpose

It’s crazy that La Liga and the MLS have VAR systems that work well and FAST !!

I see City dropping more points this season and that leaves things more open

I agree 100% on everything that you've said in this post.

In particular the handball rule is such a joke nowadays that it's hard to tell what's "deliberate" handball anymore.

Thumbs down

VAR

Celtic player kicks our player

He stays on his feet, the Celtic player falls over

Ref goes to look at it

its a foul, no goal

its not working
