Your starting XI locked in for Palace 🔐

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

This is how the movie will play out if Manchester United hire Eddie Howe: -He will struggle to establish a clear tactical identity from the beginning. -The football will be predictable. -The pressing will be inconsistent. -The team will struggle against low blocks. -We will rely heavily on individual brilliance to win games. -Our build-up play will become easy to read. -The defensive structure will remain questionable. -The players will struggle to understand exactly what the team is trying to achieve. -We will win some games, but the performances will fail to convince. -The fans will begin questioning why INEOS appointed him. -We will finish outside the top four. -We will get knocked out of the FA Cup before the latter stages. -The media will start asking whether Howe is really the man to take Manchester United forward. During the transfer window: -He will demand players to suit his preferred style. -INEOS will spend heavily trying to rebuild the squad around his ideas. -Some players will be deemed unsuitable for his system. -We will sell players who could have been useful under a different tactical approach. -New signings will take time to adapt. -The club will spend another transfer window trying to fix problems created by the previous one. -Questions will emerge about whether the recruitment strategy and managerial vision are aligned. When the next season starts: -We will expect improvement, but the same tactical problems will persist. -Opponents will exploit the weaknesses in our pressing and defensive structure. -The team will struggle to control matches against elite opposition. -We will drop points against teams we should be beating. -Our away form will become a major concern. -The players will lose confidence in the system. -The fans will become increasingly frustrated. -The media will question whether Howe has reached his ceiling. -INEOS will face criticism for appointing another manager without a convincing long-term plan. -Pressure will intensify after a poor run of results. -The board will begin considering alternatives. -Results will fail to improve sufficiently. -Eddie Howe will eventually be sacked. And we will start all over again. This is why Eddie Howe is not the ideal man for Manchester United if we want long-term success.

Why does he dress like a sleazy tramp?

Baby goes viral for his extreme relaxation minutes after being born.

Merlin Röhl, who starts for Everton against Chelsea, uses a metronome to strengthen his eye movement. “It goes 100 beats per minute, and your eyes switch side to side. It's training a muscle. If you have fast eyes, you can track the ball faster and then switch faster to the player where you want to play the ball.” Röhl also has a stick with numbers on which he uses to strengthen his near and far focus.
