So normal service has resumed yet again where for the third season in a row under ole we will be in a fight to claim a champions league spot, such progress......
Agreed although it was offside so can't complain about it that much.Soft or not that penalty should have stood
He was offside anyway. Couldn't have been given.Soft or not that penalty should have stood
Think our form is evening out a bit. We weren't as good as our league position earlier suggesting. Someone or the other popping up with a great moment to win you the game, is not a sustainable formula.unacceptable. Losing to the bottom side, a draw against 2nd from bottom. 2 wins from 6. Not good enough.
Very little. Bruno is an inspirational, talismanic player who can often mask the overall deficiencies of the team.Not sure how much progress this team has actually made apart from just being what we were + Bruno.
Yeah, is there a point you're making or are you just stating that we've spent money?Really?
Of course there’s a bloody point, we are level with Leicester after spending 300m, our manager isn’t good enough.Yeah, is there a point you're making or are you just stating that we've spent money?
The point is more than obvious.Yeah, is there a point you're making or are you just stating that we've spent money?
When did I say anything about feeling hard done by?Sorry but surely if the margin is that tight and it’s a refereeing hawler it’s cause for feeling hard done by? I’m so sick of fans expecting wins and washing off any mistakes. I can never see the point of statements like that “um it doesn’t matter that the car has no engine I’m only selling for what I brought it for”
it’s a valid reason to be annoyed yet people act like it’s not
"It's something we knew would happen from the kick-off - we knew they'd put us under pressure and put in a few throw-ins. They put a cross in and the boy finished well."
"The goal we scored is the way we put pressure on them. We did get down the sides sometimes but didn't have anybody to tap them in. One of these days we weren't there where we should have been
"We should play better but we gave ourselves a tough start. You have 90 minutes to make amends but we didn't build that momentum until late in the first half."
Rashford was more effective on the right than on the left today. I agree though Martial should not be starting anymore.I've been a strong Ole supporter from day 1, but I want him out now. That team selection was an act of sabotage, following in the steps of Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho. We started three men down, with a keeper who won't come for crosses, the laziest player in Martial and Rashford, who is completely ineffective, when moved to the right to accommodate Martial. It could have been a different tale had Henderson and Greenwood started. Their goal was an obvious foul on Lindelof, but with Moss on VAR and Pawson on the whistle, no chance is that being overturned. Funny how Sky have barely mentioned the incident, but focused on the penalty for Maguire's foul being correctly overturned. Martial just showed no effort today, while Rashford was dreadful, constantly running in to blind alleys. Big changes are needed, as this was the same shit which has been dished up too often this season.
Yeah I noted "when he's better" I think for now Cavani probably should take a seat and play Martial up-front, Rash on the right and Greenwood on the left.He is ill
Southampton?!Since Klopp went on his rant, we’ve not had a decision go for us.
He doesn't deserve to be on the pitch as things stand.Yeah I noted "when he's better" I think for now Cavani probably should take a seat and play Martial up-front, Rash on the right and Greenwood on the left.
I think we are so used to our inter-passing and swift counters that Cavani just isn't getting the ball when and where he wants.
I can imagine him having a lot to say to them after the match, but what is the point when the damage is already done. Those words need saying from the touchline, fire being put into their bellies before the game.This is the problem
These players get paid so much money and they are getting an easy ride, they have become arrogant, complacent and untouchable...i dont think Ole has in it him to lay into some of these arrogant underachievers , he is more of a hands around the shoulder manager and that works to an extent when things are going well.
Its for this reason that i think Ole is not the right manager to get the best out of this team and bring us silverware
It was the same against Sheffield United. Post-game was dominated by talk of the officials.It's a bit sad that after a game against 19th in the league, people are lamenting us not getting the softest penalty ever.
This after they probably thought Salah should never have got a penalty last week and would be enraged if we had a pen go against us for the same incident.
So why not say that?Of course there’s a bloody point, we are level with Leicester after spending 300m, our manager isn’t good enough.
Exactly. As much as we can point to decisions not going our way, we shouldn't be relying on that sort of thing against opposition this poor. It's all a bit desperate and tragic.It was the same against Sheffield United. Post-game was dominated by talk of the officials.
End of the day, games against Sheffield and West Brom shouldn’t have to come down to a referee or VAR call. These should be the safest 3 pointers in the league for us. The team is the one who put themselves in that position and the blame is squarely on them.
Whooooa there, Maguire was as bad as ever. The way he fell over his own feet second half, leaving a player clean through, was atrocious. He also has a habit of taking a dive and waiting for the ref to give a foul, but they are on to him. De Gea saved him today.So why not say that?
Let me guess, should've got the world beating pochetino in eh?
Ole didn't buy lindelof, or De Gea. They were the ones at fault for the goal today.
Maguire was actually one our better players, if not best. Wan bissaka was also solid.
Predictable as ever, bad results bring same names out spouting the same crap.
