Difference between a good keeper and not… Onana wouldn’t have saved Garno’s effort

 

[LDUred]

That tackle by Adams has been a red card all season. Semenyo was nowhere near the ball and it's a penalty.

 

[Dudu]

Dorgu

Sigh.

 

[Superunknown]

Think we've done ok in this half. One of those chances should have been a goal.

 

[kouroux]

Not on this site, it won’t.

It really is tempting though

 

[thisisnottaken1]

It’s shutting down criticism.

No it’s not, give your head a wobble.

 

[Darlington Padgett]

The first signing made under this manager, too. We purged the side of any wide attacking options to scrape the pennies, just to get this. Super worrying signs.

Should've tried Antony there, at least he can keep the ball.

 

[Dobba]

It’s shutting down criticism.

Just post it in here you saddo, desperate to feel oppressed.

 

[DRJosh]

Reality check that we won’t win the Europa league when we can’t beat Bournemouth.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Deliberately wrestled to the ground, no penalty.

Is there anyone in the VAR booth reviewing these?

 

[Dudu]

 

[IWat]

Do you really think that if we got another manager we’d actually be better? We’d be better for a few games or so and then the usual shot would happen.

It's a risk I acknowledge, but there is no risk here... It isn't working and there aren't really any signs he can get a tune out of this squad.

 

[talking robot]

Just watched the goal. It sums up everything I dislike about Shaw as a defender. When Dorgu loses the ball, he has no energy to close to down the first Bournemouth attacker. Then when the ball goes to the goal scorer, there is no acceleration to close him down either. He systematically leaves too much space for the opposition to play in the final third. It's something I've always disliked about him.

Corner Utd and all the way back to Onana

It’s about the only time we’ve mastered this season , the amount of times I’ve seen us start an attack , build it to the edge of the box and end up with us passing it back to Onana is insane

 

[Still ill]

If only Harry could get decisions that easily in the opposition box.

 

[Andycoleno9]

And we all thought that AWB was bad on the ball. Only we can sell full back with bad technique and buy even worse.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

It’s shutting down criticism.

Get a grip man.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Well, as well as very likely being a pokemon in disguise. Dorgu is also a truly dreadful footballer.

 

[PoTMS]

How many teams have done the double against us so far this season?

 

[Ace of Spades]

It's more to do with the poor technical level of the team and this stupid instance on building from the back. Palace doesn't hesitate to pump it forward

It is players being stupid and cowardly. That goal was stupid from the beginning. Why does Shaw stand behind the keeper instead of going forward, and what does Onana play the ball to him. These are two experienced players playing like school kids making the most dumb mistakes.

 

[AndySmith1990]

I wouldn’t. I’m tired of the same old vicious cycle. We can’t lower our expectations.

How can you talk about not lowering expectations when you so vehemently defend the worst manager we've had in over 40 years?

 

[steffyr2]

I think that this is very fair criticism. I want the ball played forward and into the more creative players much quicker. If one person from defence has to break the lines from defence to midfield, then great. All this sideways, backwards passing just plays us into trouble. Our attacking players have to constantly drop back and we end up playing deeper and deeper.

My understanding of the ETH legacy was that playing a 'high line' meant everyone is always defending and no one attacks -- because in theory blundering a 1 goal score is a win. (This is soooo boring to watch)

There was a play back in the day with Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez on the center line and they all break as the ball is passed forward. There isn't a single fast player on this team. There's not one with any ball control. I'm actually not sure who out there besides Bruno can shoot on goal.

Makes you wonder what Utd was thinking when they bought these players. I can't help but think there was a want to be different/unique/ground-breaking and all they got were mid-table. Plus it must be easier to manage these pedestrian players than it is to manage Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez/etc etc.

 

[DrRodo]

It’s shutting down criticism.

"Criticism" during the heat of a game is just usually crap opinions. Everyone is better without those

 

[Hammondo]

Maybe we should move Bruno back into midfield for second half

I think it's needed.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

I still can't understand logic behind Dirgu transfer. He is not even better than Malacia.

Shaw has been paying off the scouts in charge of signing left sided players. Job security.

 

[JBG]

Ref letting our players getting wrestled to the ground with no ball around...

 

[DWelbz19]

Reality check that we won’t win the Europa league when we can’t beat Bournemouth.

Momentum and adrenaline might do it. The success of the manager’s time here essentially rides on those three games. We have to win it.

 

[kouroux]

Sir Jim the Rat in the stands

 

[Reiver]

I don't think we've been as poor, so far anyway, as some have suggested. We've been punished for one mistake but not much between us otherwise.

 

[Telsim]

Like what you see?

 

[Cantona in disguise]

Reality check that we won’t win the Europa league when we can’t beat Bournemouth.

Not saying we will win the europa but the two have no bearing at all on each other.

 

[Jaap]

Hojlund & Garnacho‘s conversion rate must be one of the worst in the League.

 

[LukeChadwick36]

Getting bullied by a Pro Evo Master League stock team.

Does my head in

 

[Rasmus_9]

I never like to jump on a young new signing but Dorgu lacks a lot of the qualities we’d need in a wing back. Amad way more promising

 

[PoTMS]

We paid €30m for Dorgu. Christ. He's the type of player you take a punt on if available on the cheap, not for that sort of money.

 

[kouroux]

It is players being stupid and cowardly. That goal was stupid from the beginning. Why does Shaw stand behind the keeper instead of going forward, and what does Onana play the ball to him. These are two experienced players playing like school kids making the most dumb mistakes.

I have no idea bro. They're fecking dumb

 

[CannibalSpectre]

Dorgu is genuinely one of the worst players I’ve ever seen

Nothing like some good ole matchday hyperbole

 

[Sassy Colin]

It's outside the box, but Dorgu was clearly tripped.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

It's a risk I acknowledge, but there is no risk here... It isn't working and there aren't really any signs he can get a tune out of this squad.

But who can get a tune of this squad? It’s shit.

 

[WouterWeghorst]

And we all thought that AWB was bad on the ball. Only we can sell full back with bad technique and buy even worse.

Very accurate post. I think Wilcox is not scrutinized enough for this signing. Woeful.
