Van persie - he could have died…

With Gallagher on that Fred one, I think Ronaldo is the only one I’m a bit meh about that kick is nasty.
Maguire getting a red would probably a bonus for them, but I can see why it should be a red. It’s pretty comedical.
I think I would have been angry with it if it had been 1-0 or we had been drawing but that’s probably what’s decided it.
I’m glad VAR stepped in on Pogba as those aren’t challenges that should be in football, I still think it happens even if Ronaldo or Fred go to be honest. Pogba is probably one of these bleating though why considering he hasn’t put more than a handful of games in since he joined is beyond me.
Taylor did manage other aspects well, Atwell is also another who has been a bit crap for us so that’s why VAR surprised me a bit. I think VAR worked out how you’d hope it would.
Nothing is clear and obvious from the yellows to be fair and the offside was well spotted as I thought Robertson was playing him on.

Fred and ronaldo incidents were reds

I didn’t say they weren’t 
I thought the Fred one would have been unlucky. He is clearly pulling out of the challenge.

I wonder if the issue is more to do with the coaches not being able to implement Ole’s ideas? As far as I understand, Phelan and Ole watch training from the sidelines (like Ferguson did), and leave the training to Carrick and McKenna, who are both learning on the job. Do they have the know-how to put into effect Ole’s plans? I don’t know anything about what our training looks like, but I’ve seen snippets of Guardiola conducting training sessions based on the model of football he wants played and I wonder if Carrick and McKenna are able to do the same. Ferguson outsourced this to others e.g. Queiroz. Perhaps we need a specialist coach and let Ole focus on man management, which I would guess is more in line with his skill set.

Queiroz wouldn’t be a bad shout under someone else
I was speaking to a manc supporter today in work and he listed their footballing staff and is crazy how many un-qualified / in-experienced ex-players they have in key roles top to bottom.

He has a point. I remember alot of discussion about Rodgers staff back in the day when they were clearly not up to being at a club like Liverpool.

Red or not, I think we can all agree Ronaldo is a cunt, no?
It’s people like him that make the humble superstars far more likeable.

It’s a little known fact that before he goes to sleep at night, Chuck Norris checks under the bed for James Milner.

The incident I’m referring to was when Ronaldo lashed out at Jones.
Same. Ronaldo should have been put on his ass after that display of arrogance.
If Naby only has bruising, then I expect him to be fit for the weekend. But then, this is Naby we’re talking about.
