  1. Why??

    As much as I loved yesterday's result, getting one over on the dippers always feels good. But a large part of me is hacked off. WHY can't we put that effort in every week, instead of the strolling around the pitch not putting in the challenges.
  2. Possession

    It's the simple passes that are going astray the most. This is basic football that gets taught at school, let alone a player on £150,000 plus a week.
  3. Possession

    We never scored from open play, so the counter attack argument is weak.
  4. Possession

    There is boring possession and there is no possession. We are in the no possession bracket.
  5. Possession

    Or rather the lack of it. We give away possession so much and often so cheaply Which consequently puts us under pressure, leaving us to play most of the game in defensive mode. And let's be honest, we don't have the best defensive set up.
  6. Pressing, or should that be non pressing.

    What's the idea of just strolling around the park when out of possession. We are quite happy to trot alongside an opposition player while he has the the ball, allowing him plenty of time to select the pass of his choice. There does not seem to be any urgency or aggression in our defending...
  7. Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

    Embarrassing......
  8. Maguire needs to be replaced

    You are correct, I'm not open to listening to another opinion. Because there is nothing to listen to, he's cack, end of. Oh and by the way, I'm right.
  9. Maguire needs to be replaced

    Bollocks, He has never been good for us.
  10. Maguire needs to be replaced

    He has been a liability from day one. Anyone that thinks he is a good defender, knows very little about football.
  11. Maguire needs to be replaced

    When has he been very good? He's been abysmal from day one..
  12. Maguire needs to be replaced

    Anybody that says Maguire is either a good captain, or a good player. Go find yourself a head bump reader and get your head read...
  13. Post match vs Liverpool

    We need to learn how to keep possession from a throw in. 95% of today's throws, resulted in lost possession. Has been a season long problem. Happy with a draw today, you just know Liverpool were giving it their all and failed. Happy days.
  14. The key to high pressing football is a high backline

    While it may not have been De Gea's fault, but the goal against Southampton could have been handled a lot better by him. The punch out was poor and he was static on his line for the cross in.
  15. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United

    What if it's a handball?
