Why did we start Lindelof and Rashford? ETH is fkin stubborn! Evans did so well in the last game that we won. But he's disappeared. Maguire is there too. Why continue to start a back four that just continues to let in goals?
Since Casemiro went off we haven't been able to string two passes together or keep hold of the ball. We had something like 8 mins to score plus stoppage time. I don't think we've had possession since. The mentality in this team is awful.
Who would have predicted that after week 2 of returning to the Champions League, we would be rooted to the bottom on zero points? Maybe we shouldn't bother to qualify for it again.
Well I did say last season, no point qualifying if you can't compete. There's no reason why we shouldn't be winning that easily. We may have injuries at the back but nothing excuses the piss poor defending to give away 3 goals. Watch the 1st one again. Dalot's sole effort was to flick his leg up BEHIND him whilst Zaha is about to shoot.
It's not a great start, understating it somewhat! But, win both Copenhagen games, reverse this away at Galatasaray and then not lose at home to Bayern, and we qualify. To do that, we need a defence and a goal keeper. Ten Hag has injuries to deal with but he keeps picking Lindelof when he has alternatives, and he keeps picking Dalot. He also signed Onana, so as much as I feel a bit of understanding, he's also mostly culpable.
There were some positives! We just have a piss weak defence, and getting first choice full backs back will improve that. The keeper got to be dropped too, as has Lindelof. In the case of Lindelof, it's not like we don't have better options in Maguire and Evans. I genuinely don't get that. I can just about see why Dalot has to be picked, but not Lindelof.
What is ETH’s team selection doing to the team’s morale? It is effectively killing it! He is picking players not on merit, but on his own ego. It is fkin stupid! I still can’t believe that Evans hasn’t started a game since Burnley. Now he’s going on about how Rashford needs support?! Fk off! How about he drops him to the bench to see how others get the job done? Or maybe he deliberately wants to get fired to get his nice payday like those before him.
Sorry Chief that's a hell of a set of results you're talking about and the mentality in this side is weak. The only time they had any fight in them was when the crowd got behind them. In Turkey they'll fold and that's just one result. Don't see them getting anything against Bayern either.
Anyone know anything about the back up keeper? Never heard of him and no idea where he came from but am sure he deserves a chance to start.
Nah there are positives. Our attacking play is fine. Clearly the mentality all round is affected by our piss poor defending.
The weird thing is we were pretty decent against Bayern away. **** teams have no problem with us though.
Btw Bruno seems to get away with piss poor performances and there's no spotlight on him at all. And the reason is because there's nobody in the side who we can trust to do better. And he knows it n' all which is why he plays every game, and doesn't really perform.
Tend to think Mount is getting in his way a bit, they both seem to have a free pass to roam and go to the same spaces.
