Well obviously if you play like **** every game, you aint gonna win anything.
But even the best teams have off days.
No team can play awesome 100% of the time.
But when you DO have an off day, if you can still pick up three points, or even a point, then thats what can separate also rans from champions.
They've had a pretty crap run of games to start the season, to be fair to them.I've only watched them today. They really are god awful at finishing.
Thank fck
Leicester, Spurs, Utd? Battered Forest in the cup, but I'm guessing both sides dropped players.
Next three league games are Watford, Brentford and Southampton. Much better idea after that.
It's still a sweeping statement and there's more to it than that including the fact not all opposition is the same. The trend is how often you play **** against teams that set up in a particular way against you.
Obviously I watch United a lot and the trend is there. We have a manager who relies on counter attack heavily at the expense of any other tactical approach. So, if a team sets up to sit in their half playing on the counter attack, we struggle to put two passes together in the final third. In fact we struggle to create chances at all.
We rely on individual moments of brilliance but that's down to the individual not some tactical approach set by the manager. It's not the same as saying a team who are having a bad day but through resilience get the result. This is continual in our case against specific oppo playing a specific way.
Good thing ronnie aint on today hed be throwing his arms up crying at this so far
The tears of fear.
Did you see the game today though? They could and should've scored a couple in the first 10 mins tbh. But with the goal in front of them, they kept hitting it off target.
I was saying this on our board. Traore is an absolute beast. But for all his bullying and strength and running with the ball, he has no end product. After a while I wasn't too worried he was raping the **** out of Fred.
I called him the best **** footballer in the world a couple of years ago. Now we're linked with him!
If you could calm him down for his final ball he'd be absolutely unstoppable.
Good decision making and finishing would turn him into the scariest player around.
As it is, he just flatters to deceive.
He reminds me of some overly muscled boxers. Built like a brick **** house, but it's too much.
Terrorizes defenders for a half, then goes missing.

This today most definitely.

He’s a good player for Wolves but he wouldn’t work in a top team because like you say he has no product, and those type of players are useless when you need a whole team to work together going forwards and defending.
Just been saying to my brother he looks well off the pace, I doubt he’d be getting a start if Rashford was fit. He’s looking for balls that aren’t there because he’s not in sync with Wan Bissaka or Pogba yet, but I’m certain it will come.
He won’t rip teams apart like he did in Bundesliga like, but I believe when he’s on board with the players we have in attack and fluid with them, he’ll be a major upgrade on Dan James or Pogba/Rashford/whichever player we shoehorned into that right side last season.
It’s gonna be interesting in our next game when Ronaldo is back to see who starts there. I’d imagine it’ll be Greenwood, because you just can’t drop him right now.

I don’t get it?
Yeah, CR obvs starts as the central striker with the 2 wide spots having massive competition. Personally I think Greenwood looks at his best on the right at the minute. Steve Bruce is gonna need sleeping tablets for the next 2 weeks bless him.
