Pathetic penalty from a genuinely pathetic player. I hadn’t forgiven him for the the Fa Cup Final and now this.
Oh and thank feck for that... Imagine him being our main CBLeave the guy alone man. He has had very good performances for us but his injuries have robbed him of a consistent place in the side. When the team as a whole are terrible, you cannot single out an individual.
His contract runs out next summer, I would be very worried if his contract gets renewed and no doubt a decision will be made by Woody as I just can't see Jose wants to keep him.When you go 8 pens tit from fecking tat against an average championship side,i find it hard to blame the cartorse CB for stepping up and missing.
I blame our club for not selling this midtable bloke 2-3yrs ago. He'll still be here next season. no fecker wants him some of our fans will claim a new manager might unlock the new Duncan Edwards.....
Shambolic club. top,middle and bottom
SAF retired a long time ago now, how is Jones still at the club ? Why do we loan promising young players and keep him ?He just hasn’t progressed since Sir Alex retired. When he retired I swear a handful of our players at the time just never looked the same again, and he is one of them.
Sir Alex had the ability to make a 6/10 player give 9/10 performances every once in a while and a few 8/10s too.
Jones is that to me.
so cold.Heather McCartney could have hit that with more power.
The only perfect pass with the perfect power he made in this match. Shame it came in the perfect moment too.Heather McCartney could have hit that with more power.
Yes. Was the same with Anderson too. We're a soft touch. Most other clubs would bin these losers off within a few years. But not us, we love accumulating deadwood.At the end of the season, he will be 2 years away from a testimonial right?
Wondering if its the wages we pay meaning its an issue to shift them. That coupled with being soft as you say.Yes. Was the same with Anderson too. We're a soft touch. Most other clubs would bin these losers off within a few years. But not us, we love accumulating deadwood.
Your guess is as good as mine probably.SAF retired a long time ago now, how is Jones still at the club ? Why do we loan promising young players and keep him ?
What you gonna do for your diareah now ?He has incurred my odium.
It's just one too many chances at this point. This is 8 years of injuries, bad form mixed with a few decent games here and there before another injury occurs (repeat the cycle). This is kind of how I imagined Arsenal fans were with some of their players over the years (Walcot, Diaby etc). At what point do you say that it would be best for the players career and the club to part ways and that it just hasn't worked? I feel sorry for him that injuries have robbed him of a promising career but apart from his first two seasons I genuinely can't remember a sustained period of 10+ matches where he's looked like the real deal.I think Phil Jones is a decent defender (rubbish in possession) who performed reasonably well for most of last season (2 goals conceded in our first 8 PL games with Jones and Bailly together) but since his awful display at Spurs last season, he has been short of confidence, leading to errors for United in the FA Cup final and for England in the summer. Overall we conceded 11 goals in 23 PL matches when Jones was on the pitch (more like 22 games since he went off early against Huddersfield away). The previous season it was 14 goals conceded in 18 PL matches with Jones on the pitch.
This season he has played twice, performing poorly in both games.
I'd let this season play out before making a decision. There's clearly an opening for any central defender at the club who can get their act together.[/QUOTE]
I was fecked off with his performance tonight long before the penalty.When you go 8 pens tit from fecking tat against an average championship side,i find it hard to blame the cartorse CB for stepping up and missing.

To make it as a Premier League footballer, never mind a utd player, you should be incredible of every aspect of the sport, but excel even more at a certain position. Being a CB is no excuse really.He missed a penalty. CBs arent usually taking those. Its not a requirement for being a good one. Pogba missed a penalty a few weeks ago it doesnt mean he doesnt have ability.
Not to say that Jones played well but like normal its blown out of all proportion.
Complete and utter nonsense.To make it as a Premier League footballer, never mind a utd player, you should be incredible of every aspect of the sport, but excel even more at a certain position. Being a CB is no excuse really.
