He's so scared of losing since Spurs. And he knew he couldn't risk losing at home again. That's why he had his big smile, he was so happy with himself. You could just see it.This might be the worst take on the forum...

I don't need that, maybe you do. You brought up all sort of stuffs to justify Ole playing James (including the fact that we lost 6-1 under a completely different circumstance) which was the only thing I criticized. Weird. The simple question is, why not play Mason instead?The plan was to hit Chelsea on the break. Ole, like 100% of Caf's posters surely understand that Chelsea bought some of the best talents in world football this summer, and going on a very offensive tactic against a team that can quite possibly end you if your centerbacks arent fast enough. We put on the team that was best suited to null out Chelsea's very, very good offensive playters.
And quite frankly it worked very well.
When we started Pogba last at home we lost 6-1 v Tottenham. VDB is not a CDM, Fred plays very well with McTominay so no reason to break them up after the PSG game, and Bruno always plays. So VDB goes on the bench, Cavani has hardly played football in forever and was never going to start regardless.
We didn't win the game which was dissapointing. But we could have lost the game with a different team on. Or won 5-0. We just can't know that.
We didn't lose. We're 1W 1D in a month that has us playing Arsenal and Leipzig this week.
We're 3-1-1 in the last 5.
Just chill the feck out.
No you couldn't, that wasn't why he was smiling at all. You realise that smiling is not something that exclusive to happiness right? You've literally made all that up based on something you've misunderstood.He's so scared of losing since Spurs. And he knew he couldn't risk losing at home again.

Mason was either returning from injury or (less likely) from being disciplined. Either way it's understandable not throwing him straight back in from the start.I don't need that, maybe you do.

How do you know that? You don't smile right after a bad result. No one does. Except for Ole, because he has lower your standard. Come back when you realize that I'm right and you're wrong.No you couldn't, that wasn't why he was smiling at all. You realise that smiling is not something that exclusive to happiness right?

I'll repeat what I said earlier. This is easily the worst take on this entire forum...How do you know that? You don't smile right after a bad result. No one does. Except for Ole, because he has lower your standard. Come back when you realize that I'm right and you're wrong.
Great argument. I'll quote you in about six months then we'll see.I'll repeat what I said earlier. This is easily the worst take on this entire forum...
Yeah with RW being an example of that as we signed two inexperienced ones rather than one of each which would have given us someone to slot straight in in that sideMatic, Fred, and McTominay can all play as DM. You can argue their quality all day but we have limited finances and a board who takes three months per deal. We rightly focused on other areas - and still struggled. It’s going to take time to get really quality players in every position, this club is never going to do a Chelsea and replace half the squad in one window. I really think this squad is starting to look good, but we have to accept it’s going to take time.
If that's true then yeah I can understand. In the case of Mason at least.Mason was either returning from injury or (less likely) from being disciplined. Either way it's understandable not throwing him straight back in from the start.
I have read most of the comments, but please show me exactly where you observed this:Read through the forum and performance threads - he's being scapegoated.
Agree he's in bad form. What we have to acknowledge is there is many factors which contribute to that - it's not as black and white as people are making out.
Just slating him and calling him not good enough is lame and poor. What else could Ole do? Martial banned, Greenwood not match fit, Cavani not match fit, Pellistri only ready for reserves....... Already playing Mata who is past his best by some years.
Argument he could have played Donny but he's not a wide forward so i dont see the logic there.
This is the exact reason Ole wanted Sancho - to provide competition and quality along the front 3 forward positions. We are paying the price for the boards incompetence and putting the blame in the wrong place
