seriously, stop it. enough is enough. i get that you support referees generally, and i’m aware that the post i am quoting is somewhat tongue in cheek, but this narrative that you constantly push regarding our fanbase (or any fanbase) only critiquing referees when we lose is utter bollocks. there...
main issue for me, as it has been all season, is the lack of physicality. been bullied off the ball in countless games this season. why make your replacement for a world class DM someone who isn’t ready for half the season? why not buy or loan someone who can come straight in and offer a bit of...
an error of catastrophic proportions from RDZ. after west ham i really cannot fathom what the thought process was there.
I said this on another thread, but imo the strike partnerships have been wrong at times this season. welbeck and ferguson don’t work together and neither do fati and pedro...
but everyone could see we weren’t going to win 6-1 before the game, people weren’t surprised with what happened during the game and the end result was kind of expected too.
so i think it’s fair enough to discuss the decisions when a lot of people predicted the outcome they had
you absolutely can but it’s fairly well known at this point that ferguson and welbeck do not work together. they don’t compliment each other's game and it leave a big gap in midfield.
that line up today almost set him up to fail, absolutely no idea why RDZ thought it would work
completely accept what you say but what i really don’t get is the striking partnerships. seems to either be welbz and fergie or JP and fati. totally the wrong combo imo. both fati and JP need a big CF to run off
have to say i am really puzzled by that lineup. obviously trust roberto but i am obviously blind to wheatever game plan he has. fergus and welbeck were disastrous together against west ham, 9 changes again is almost totally rotation, and i also don’t really understand why joao pedro never seems...
i obviously get the reasons behind rotating. but i don’t see how we can have a style of play that relies on such high amounts of trust and the player in possession knowing exactly where each and every player will be when there’s new combinations all over the shop every week.
and when you play a...
loathe to criticise RDZ but maybe the reason we have these games where the starting 11 looks like they’ve never played together before is because…they haven’t
