It’s ok, I have no idea how to change a poll once it’s posted. It was a major achievement to create it at all.

I created one just before @Iftikhar created one, but I couldn’t figure out how to create the poll and got it in the neck for it so…

That list is a right bunch of wrong’uns, and @Maria

Not sure what she has ever done to you to deserve being lumped in with that bunch of misfits?

Sour grapes at being left out? There was a minimum IQ requirement I’m afraid.

That’s patently nonsense. How did I make it?

Scraped through by calculating the odds on a six fold accumulator.

He mean “below the minimum”

That was the requirement

He does nothing particularly wrong, but if we concede people want blood. It was a good attack from leicester with a clinical finish, all topped off with a little bit of luck on the deflection taking the ball just out of Ali’s reach.

Even players at the bottom of this league are really fucking good and over the course of the season you’re going to come up with a few situations like this. We could have done better in midfield at attack to stop them setting up their counter. Gravy doesnt do enough when filling in at RB, Gomez is in a bit of no man’s land neither helping Gravy nor positioning himself to take away the ball across the box, and maybe Robbo got taken by surprise at Ayew coming from his blind side to get in front of him. All the while Virgil is man marking the most likely goal scorer who doesnt get the ball because of Virgil’s marking. There is a collection of things they will look at and think how they can do better, but nothing egregious and certainly not from Virgil. But mostly, its one you put your hands up and credit Leiciester

I don’t think that it’s up to a single person. We are not as diligent defensively as we used to be as a group. Having Konate back will be good of course but it won’t remedy everything.

We are constantly giving up soft goals, that shouldn’t be happening no matter who is missing.

Slot called it sloppy. And it’s not the first time either. You are entitled to your opinion that it was a nice move by Leicester but the record prior to the Madrid and City games suggests that teams weren’t able to put together good moves against us with such regularity. And we haven’t exactly played against juggernauts since then.

As for Van Dijk, it wasn’t what he did but how he did it. The lack of urgency, the listlessness in his movements after 6 minutes of game time weren’t a nice sight at all. He seemed to be holding Daka at first and then didn’t go after the ball, which looked like it was travelling at a walking pace, didn’t rush to cover Robertson or block Ayew. He did manage to deflect it in his own net though.

Good morning. How’s it going?

Shocking to see @Bekloppt give @PeachesEnRegalia the Rashford treatment.

Stop bothering me. I am busy reading your comments on the PL needing a strong United side. I will let you know when I’m done and ready to engage. Until then, set up a poll on whom the masses would like to see you destroy today.

You’d be the overwhelming favourite.

Virg has done this several times this season, he presumes that a situation gets dealt with and saunters back, when if he ran back with more conviction he could have covered better and potentially stopped their goal and others we have conceded.

I thought Joe did the same on their goal too.

Saying what I have said, Virg is still brilliant, but the above and what redarmada said is an area he could improve in, not everyone is as good as he is in 1 v 1’s
