defence is a big concern obviously but important to remember in the last game against them our attack was nullified, compared to usual, due to the nonsensical combination of ferguson and welbeck together up top. would imagine we will concede a couple but we can definitely get at their defence...
they well and truly had our number in the amex game earlier. don’t think we’ve been able to do anything to address the way they steamrollered through our midfield in that game, they could well have a field day on the counter. also think with our makeshift defence, we could concede a set piece...
had a horrible dream last night that he signed for city in january. don’t think it’s going to take a genius to interpret the subliminal message of that one
10. brilliant performance for the most part but i cannot quite believe how we contrived to give them two shitty goals when they had offered next to nothing for the other 80 mins. realistically, they were never going to score two more in 10 mins, but what i was thinking, and the reason i was very...
against my better judgement, i’m going to ignore the last 15 mins. utterly excellent throughout. brilliant win. fully deserved to be 4-0 up, great performances from most of the team. but (disregarding what i said earlier), that defence needs attention in jan.
gone for a defeat as i am not expecting much from an injury depleted squad (and that’s putting it lightly), and i cannot see an end, against their attack, to the ridiculous goals we seem to give away each week. however, i think a lot hinges on how much we actually attack their depleted backline...
without a doubt. feel like there will be many of our future games over the years where we will come away with ten shots on target, zero points and saying “ffs trafford”
be that as it may, although i believe that is a bit of a myth tbh, i think it is unquestionable that we do not have the cover in key positions like fullback, midfield and possibly wing. some of those are new problems, and some frankly weren’t addressed in the summer when they should’ve been. we...
i honestly don’t think the goal was overly verbruggen’s fault. the whole situation has come from both dunk and groß abdicating responsibility for dealing with the ball and passing the buck to a 21 year old keeper who then has a very tight angle. both should know better. they’re both experienced...
