A lot of tired legs and minds on that pitch today, which is hardly surprising given the time of year and the schedule we’ve had. A number of players seem to have found ways to play them ourselves out of form at the same time which is a bit frustrating, this team isn’t yet good enough to carry so many passengers. The returns of Jota, Thiago and Robertson cannot come soon enough.
Still, don’t think this result is as disastrous as people are making out. We remain in a good position and favourable results in the next two will set us up nicely heading into the new year.
I haven’t given up on him, but does annoy me that people talk about him like he’s Ben Doak’s age. Darwin is same age as Salah was, and older than Suarez was, when they joined us
This United team is shite and that is why it hurts so much we could not take the three points … they were so bad, especially in the first 20 or so minutes, but we just did not take our chances …
Best moments are coming when one of our players commit and go past players and that mainly came from our midfielders.
Our forwards, can’t beat a man and always come inside when there is space outside, too predictable, they aren’t offering a potent force atm. They either slow the game down, give the ball away or pass to the opposition, completely opposite from the beginning of the season when all our front men were scoring.
We have to also get back to the pass a move with vertical passes which we seem to have stopped doing, maybe that is because Mac is missing.
Appalling performance. We have been lucky with results in the previous matches. Nunez needs to control his temper and be more focused. I just don’t know what happened to Mo, he must have left his shooting boots at home.
The only positive I can see, we didn’t lose against Utd, but we really need to get our act together and be more clinical with our shots on target and we are quite more at the moment.
It will be even tougher against Arsenal next week as they are on form at the moment.
Hope our injured lads come back soon.
What is done is done, we prepare better for the next game.
How long did it take MO, Bobby and Mane to gel… our forwards are still trying to play catch-up to the almost telepathic understanding we are used to seeing from our past forwards… Hopefully it will eventually arrive, until then we have to be patient, or decide to change some of the players up
I think it was PeterRoberts who said it in the match day, just far too many players off form & I think in part is down to this system. We’ve not managed to make it click. The results have been great but the performances largely disjointed.
We look & have always looked far better with overlapping fullbacks.
Diaz Nunez Mo Szobo Grav just incredibly poor, all on different wavelengths, playing far too apart from eachother.
Hahahaha Roy Keane throwing a hissy fit at Virgil saying “only 1 team came to play”, basically reflecting away from Utd being dismal and Virgil speaking truths.
