Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Leicester won the league doing that last season!

 

You really don't watch other teams do you
Leicester rarely let teams camp outside their area, they defended and won the ball back around the middle of their half through Kante and Drinkwater, when they couldn't stop the other team there the defence did very well.

 

Unfortunately- that is very true

 

Utd still have to play away at Tottenham, arsenal and Manchester city. Also have a home game against the chavs.
We may have games we don't turn up to, but you have a lot of games you aren't good enough to compete in.

 

I really don't think anyone is out of it - certainly not spurs and probably not city
Is it unlikely - yes it's very very unlikely, however were Chelsea to lose or draw on wed a little tiny crack opens and then it is about mentality. Chelsea have been lauded as having this tied up for quite a while now.
Who thought Chelsea would lose yesterday ?
So as old cliche goes not over yet
Plenty more twists and turns
Common sense and logic say Chelsea
If I were a Spurs fan I would be very quietly a little tiny bit excited

 

Personally still rate him
Unfortunately he doesn't have to worry about league as CL football will come through Europa.

I admire how he treats winning - yes he is a terrible loser, but guarantees trophies

I think his negative football is overrated - he only does that when he knows he has
Lord knows we have needed to take a more defensive approach in games

That said I do love Klopps personality
His interview was awesome
He spoke about me.... ? Lmao

 

I found the only sensible Man Utd fan in the world:


Mourinho should be fired for those comments about the forward players. That is no way for a manager to behave. The Fans booed him at the end of the game, and he threw Rashford, Martial, lingard and Mkhtaryan under the bus

Of course Rashford is a little inconsistent up front. Before zlatan's suspension he had only played 3 games up front this season. He's been mostly playing on the left wing where it seems that his job is to make it easier for Jose to leave martial out of the team for some reason.

Mourinho wants "consistent" performances out of players that he a) gives no instructions or coaching to b) doesn't give a run in the team, and c) seems to be trying to drive out of the club so they can be replaced with 26 year olds that don't have to be coached. Like when he got rid of de bruyne and lukaku so he could buy costa and fabrega

The man is a menace, who will throw anyone under the bus in order to distract attention from another ****ty performance and another poor home result. (Man utd had the second best home record in the league last season, this year they're 10th) and when he leaves in two years, he will have gotten rid of anything that was good from before his time, and saddled united with a bunch of second tier Jorge Mendes players that no-one will want to take off our hands

Just sack him now. He is literally the direct opposite of everything that man utd fans are supposed to like or be interested in.

 

Man Utd remain undefeated since the last time they lost a game

Good news for Everton fans, Pogba could be back next game

 

That is a tad harsh but it is close to the debate we have on here regularly about winning vs quality.

Jose is a winner but the fan makes a good if not harsh point.

Where I think that Jose does let himself down is the way he treats some players particularly the youngsters. He does not really instill confidence. Maybe he trying to strengthen them mentally - I don't know.

Clearly this fan not a Jose fan though

 

Plus I'll be away on 8 April so dropping points at Stoke and a Manc/bitter board invasion is #nailedon

 

Did they ****. They defending deep because their entire game plan was counter attack. They used Vardy and Albrightons pace, complimented by Mahrez's superb vision and passing.

 

Chelsea losing yesterday is bad for themselves. Practically coasting ever since we've played them theyre now going to enter a tough run where Man U will not allow them to be beaten, a Man City team who can score and Arsenal who will roll over haha.

 

Well done Brendan Rodgers, Scottish Champions.

Sterling just bottled a 1v1 with the keeper and tried to run out the way

 

0-1

Quality pass from de Bruyne but don't think he picked him out on purpose!

Great pace and finish from Sane though. Looking a quality player.

 

Was it @Diego who said Sane was just a speed merchant?

Quality youngster. We badly need CL if we want to attract these youngsters - even the big boys now investing heavily in young players. Bayern have now signed Sule, Rudy and potentially Brandt ...

 

Arsenal make us look positively concrete at the back!

 

Navas very lucky there!
