Agreed . I think Gerrard (but others too) has made these kind of comments before. Being dominated equates to " Happy to let them have the ball in certain areas" if the result goes your way still. He talked about it being a "perfect" away performance, which in terms of result it was, but without...
I fear I may be in a tiny minority here, but I can't see why this appears to be about attacking coaching and not defending and quality of players. If the Villa game is an analogy for our home form, and I am not looking at the stats just what I think i saw, we created as many "good" chances as...
and if anyone saw McTommywotsit vs. Leeds, how he didn't see red for proper fouls was incredible.. I do think referees should be given the mandate to simply book anyone rushing them like they did in the Dunk incident. Literally, book everyone for jumping in.. it might make a game or two a farce...
One day, everything has to click.. Stevie G boys will start to be having doubts after a tough run.. that said when you are on a tough run, there's normally only one team you want to play!! Going for it... 3-1 !!
From a footballing perspective, i do think it was a mistake. A squad without Burn yesterday reduced to "nil" any genuine opportunity to change shape, given that Roberts is clearly not fancied. Losing a player that has started almost every single game, in a number of different positions cannot be...
It was a very poor performance. It happens at top-level sport. That it hasn't happened before now is more the surprise. That it happened with a huge shuffle at the back, in horrible weather, against a team that is fighting for it's life, is less surprising. We are not a side that can slip below...
United are one of the sides that I don't ever recall us getting any luck against.. Not just the injustice of the 3-2 at the Amex, but ever.. Cup Final, league games in the early '80s.. that MUST change soon right? Don't ever remember getting anything that we didn't really deserve..
Pilchards, tinned Pilchards... mentioned by Icy I think
Oh, and tinned meat balls (Campbells i think...) - loved these as a student, but not had them since.. looked like dog-food before heating them up!!!!
Sanchez
Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Cucurella
AllyMac, Bissouma, Moder
Trossard Maupay Lamptey
Could easily see Lallana starting instead of Ally Mac, but short turnaround I think makes that unlikely. Alzate equally could be in.. surprised at this lack of game time since his excellent showing vs...
Really looking forward to this one. If we stay in it and don't concede twice in first half an hour, we can get something. BUT, a formation is hard to predict here.. I think we will go 4 at the back, as Utd often like to play with 3 up top.. however, we also know that GP backs our defenders to go...
