To be fair, if I was a forward playing in a nuno side not sure I’d bother as well. Guys a more defensive manager than jose and Rafa combined.
Just to continue on the ole bashing. That first goal. Wan biscuit chased up to robertson with Greenwood. Was the plan to press high? If so why was the rest of the team lying deep. Lindeloff was in the right back slot. Maguire was chasing firmino. Shaw was all alone central playing all on. Now all we did was play a ball down our left channel to jota they actually did the rest. Zero shape zero, game plan.
Even Roy Hodgson lost 3-2 to this lot with Poulsen in Midfield at our worst period with a dodgy coach. Even when Hyppia was sent off we lost 4 nil at their patch. I wasnt one bit worried. A depleted Everton gave them a game and as soon as I saw CR starting it was over. Modern day football has no room for passengers. If you cannot press you are a liability If they keep Ole and go to the city game against Pep I see another blood bath coming up. If I am honest we didnt even seem to try that hard lol I did enjoy us passing around to Oles from our fans most unintended double entendre
City will pass them to death and if they're clinical it'll be another big scoreline, one thing is certain and that's a City win and an easy one.
Spurs away next though and even though Spurs are **** I don't see Utd turning them over. I did call this, looked at this sequence of fixtures and couldn't see them coming through it well.
Man utd fixtures Spurs away Atlanta away Man city home International break were ronaldo calls for his head Watford away Villareal away Chelsea away If they dont sack I could see them in the europa and do a liverpool feb 2021 here and not take more than a point from those. I cannot believe neville didnt call for his head. I presume on e carragher stops laughing he will write an article looking for the guy to be sacked
What a performance! Not sure what was more embarrassing for United - us scoring 4 goals in the first half or us literally keeping the ball for around 30 mins at the end of the game. What more can be said about Mo? The best player in the world and is only getting better! Naby delivered a monster performance and let's hope his injury isn't too bad because he has started the season well (some people fill focus on his 1-2 errors vs Madrid!). All of the goals were really well worked (obviously helped by United's awful structure and positioning). The Hendo pass to Salah - possibly the pass of the season for me. Remarkable goal. The only small thing is Robbo's form - he hasn't been great for a while now and I think there is a case for Kostas to get more game time now. Also - how the f*ck did United not have more players sent off? Farcical.
I also though Konate looked really calm and composed for most of the game. Very impressive given it's an incredibly hostile place to go. I loved it when after Ronaldo kicked Jone, VVD comes in and bumps Ronaldo away and then Konate deals with Bruno lolll.
Just looking at the scum.tackles again. Ronaldo is excessive force 100% it doesn't matter the ball is there hes kicked full force there and if he did that v a certain type.of player they would have feigned injury and got him off. Fred was reckless For pogba. The only saving for keita was it was his foot in the air that got two foot lunge. His standing foot was missed. If he made contact with a standing foot it was a massive leg breaker. The scum bag had the temerity to say what to the ref having been blown up. I think it was just the one foot that hit over top of ball so I dont think anything is broken or ripped. Not sure.
They were pathetic. See Klopp's reaction to Pogba's challenge, not screaming or anger, just hands on his head. Very lucky not to have snapped the bloke in 2
