It’s funny seeing rashford stay on while being so ****. He got at TAA once in first first 2 minutes and after that, didn’t get close to causing him any kind of trouble. Also notable seeing TAA and his defending seems to be better so far. Maybe it’s impressing the new manager, maybe it’s new system etc, but he seems to have added bit of effort in getting to the man now. He’s always been quick just never really shows it but he’s doing basics a lot better. Rather than getting square and hoping forward runs into him, he’s just getting his body into the player now to at least make them do something to beat him.
How Ten Hag has two trophies to his name in england is bizarre . I know in the league cup they got a top 6 free run with villa.being the only decent side before Newcastle.in the final But how we absolutely threw the fa cup tie away last year I don't know. Threw it away 3 times as well. Same.for city..absolutely stinking final. Ten hag's tenure has lurched about without ever having any sort of convincing game plan. In that time he signed martinez for nearly 60mil, casemiro for 55, Anthony for 80 odd, mount for 55. Onana for 50 odd and holjund for 70. Now they've added a.series.of new players again
In general I'd guess this as the only bald one is Potter was voldermort amd if harry Potter did go bald he's have a scar on his forehead.
Only once we went 3 goals up. We were certainly the better team, but I get what he was saying as far as it could have been different. Until the first goal went in, it really felt like a toss up who was going to win. The first goal won the game. (Not saying we would have collapsed if conceded first... But it certainly changed the game for United at the moment we scored, after that we were in ascendance) One big difference in the game came down to, we have a world class keeper and their keeper is shiite. Then once we hit the second United just fizzled for a long time... Fizzled until about the 70th minute, but I think that was more us, than them. We clearly switched to a mostly defensive strategy in the last 20 minutes and that allowed United to flatter themselves a little.
TBF, that's exactly what Harry Potter would say. I'm not convinced after the second goal that United hadn't just given up and were just hoping they would catch the snitch to win the quidditch game that way.
I always felt we were on top. Football being what it is, a game can always swing against the run of play but I never felt they threatened much. Although it was fairly even for a while, they never even had a shot during that early period and we'd already had a goal chalked off.
We may not have signed many new players, but Gravenberch is like a new one compared to last season. Klopp didn't seem to know what to do with him, but Slot is getting some good stuff out of him.
You won your cup final for this year, well done It has to be said that if Zirkzee was up to speed he could (and should) have had a hat trick so not really a great win. Good luck for the rest of the season.
Breaking news. Ten Hag sacked and replaced with Daniel Radcliffe. "I am Harry Potter" are the first words uttered by the new Manager.
So stop sticking yer fingers in yer ears and shouting la la la positivity only or your so so ****ing negative at me all the time then.
Second sentence nailed it. Trying to find some way to swallow the disappointment and realisation that the year will be a.**** show. "At least they won't win anything"
