Only 1-0 second half. Ole out.

The refs are as bored as everyone else by Scottish football and just want to get home.

Jesus, for some reason I read that as being an issue between Fred and Lingard. These painkillers appear to be stronger than I thought :lol: *Homer backing into hedge gif*

What's the Fred/Lingard issue mentioned?

To be fair hamstrings can be a nightmare. I've pulled mine a few times and the initial recovery in the first few weeks can be really fast then it takes an age to get back to 100%. Plus you can start overcompensating with other muscles which can lead to tension in your adductors and glutes...

If the club have bought into his idea of how the squad should be rebuilt over the next few seasons then I don't think it's a crazy idea. Given the players that were released and the ones brought in (although not enough) I think he does have a good idea of what needs done on that front but it's...

Agreed. I just meant he'd probably have a lot of the same opportunities and responsibilities here as he does at Sporting. I don't think he'd put up the same numbers but it would be more down to the quality of opposition rather than the quality of his teammates.

We're not a functional team either :lol:. He'd likely be our plan A, B and C a lot of the time too.

True I guess, it just seems odd that after what should have been such a hugely confidence boosting win things took such a nosedive. Might just be coincidence or fatigue, was probably a combination of things really, but it does feel like the players took their foot off the gas a little.

Was about to post something defending the players a little, saying getting rid of the toxic atmosphere Mourinho had created lifted everyone but once that initial bump wore off they maybe realised it wasn't all him and they just maybe weren't that good, causing confidence levels to drop. But then...

I think calling for him to be sacked for not creating a cohesive style of play with this group of players in 5 months is a bit ridiculous to be honest. How can that be done when there's zero cohesion to the squad itself? It's a mish-mash of 4 different managers' squads, who all had different...

I didn't see the game but just had a look at the final table and it's pretty bleak reading. 32 points behind City and 32 ahead of Cardiff. Goal difference 61 behind City and 65 ahead of Huddersfield, one of the worst PL sides in years. We're as close to the relegation zone as we are to the top...

Fair enough if he's changed his views but I don't get how things like this can be a misunderstanding. Barring "what are the complete opposite of your views on gay players" I cant think of a context that would lead you to say something like this if you didn't mean it.

They were in a completely different place than us though. They had spent numerous seasons building solid foundations and a style of play. We've done the exact opposite of that and spent numerous seasons creating a shambles. The rebuild we need isn't to take us from where they were last season to...

Are the squads final? If so, wonder if Pogba will make a sneaky comeback for the Chelsea squad now he hasn't been called up for France :smirk:
