Match Day Thread Vs Man Utd (A)

Just making no commentary a red button option would be nice

 

Was thinking that as I wrote it.

 

It's usually better than the telly ones though.

 

Anyway - where have you been? You don't usually disappear after an ignominious defeat.

 

Didn't a club trial giving fans headsets during a game di they could listen to commentary or have I imagined it? Sounds like something Man Utd would do

 

General match and our match day mate, never disappear as you say

Seriously, you were well worth the win and should have scored more. That said, we were so **** and gave the ball away so much i couldn't believe what i was seeing and you lot weren't much better in that respect.

Ole ****ed up good style (not for the first time), Rashford is completely wasted on the right and his replacement on the left (Pogba) needs to be deeper and more central to link things together and bring the best out of Bruno.
Fred had an absolute nightmare with no pressure on him, even a simple 5 yard pass to a player in space was beyond him, Shaw had his worst game for a long long time until Rashford moved to the left.
I won't mention Henderson

Fairly decent game to watch though and a good amount of goals, far better than the usual 0-0 tactical games between us which quite often happen

 

Yeah. I'd have enjoyed the game if it wasn't for the tension. I was ok at 2-4.
Rashford was definitely out of position and as you say it upsets the balance. I don't watch all your games, but based on the ones I do I've no idea why Fred is even there - he's a liability imo.
Bit like Xhaka, I don't watch all their games either, but he's just a useless lump whenever I see him.

 

Fred is very divisive on our board and beyond

Some think he is ****e because he is not they "expected/typical" idea of a Brazillian midfielder. Me, i love him, the man covers more ground than any other player on the pitch (my opinion from watching, not a stato like Astro or Jimmy), he intercepts very well and makes a lot of important tackles that stops build ups before they start. He is capable of making some great passes with his left fott but **** with his right, more often than not he will make a short pass after winning the ball to get us moving forward.

Like so many players you have to watch the effective things more than the flash to fully appreciate their worth.

 

Fred is decent to be fair.

He does all the **** work and from what I've watched he has more good games than bad. It's just that when he does have a stinker it's very obvious and gets highlighted.

I can imagine he'd be the first name on the team sheet for most managers. Mostly reliable, you know what your getting. Definitely brings more to your side than pombal and allows furnaces to do his thing without having to worry about what's happening behind him to much.

 

Always the same mate, when we lose the prem board is awash with activity.

When we win its just me and @luvgonzo.

Every time

 

"but he CarNt DerfeNd Though"

 

I think the problem is the **** games. Inconsistency is always an issue with a no 6.

Hes not helped however by being left to do it all.

 

Maybe he’d perform better if he had 2 other workmanlike players around him who instead of scoring 18 goals, sat back, protected the middle of the park and let the forwards do the scoring

 

Exactly why I posted it

 

I have heard a whisper he is going to be the new Dr Who!

 

Love it mate. He's the benchmark. Hence the constant nitpicking from rivals.

Most naturally talented & exciting fullback produced by this country since Ashley Cole.... Who also "couldn't defend" apparently

 

I note nobody mentioned us winning our "cup final"

 

Carrying on the moan about pundits...

Watching Football Focus atm, they just said teams would rather be in Leicester and Chelsea position because it's in their hands. These are meant to be experts ffs

If we win all three, we're probably in. Only way we we might not is if Chelsea beat Leicester and the latter beat Spurs meaning it goes to GD. But even in that scenario, it's in our hands just as much as Leicesters!

 

They are wrong but they are perversely right.

All 3 clubs have it in their own hands. We have 3 to play they have 2.

The winner of their game together will have it in their hands last day.

However with respect to whichever moron- sorry pundit said it the only advantage they have is having the points on the board. Both chelsea and leicester would love to have the games we have left

After the midweek games someone will be in trouble. We need to win both to not be that club.

It is perverse but as it stands all 3 club so have it in their hands but like shrodingers cat automatically one of those two are in trouble once their game is played. We just dont know which yet.

Lfc must win v west brom or it's a whole other scenario.
