St.Patrik Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 And Swedish papers are preparing extra editions for tomorrow now since their favourite Zlatan has scored again - makes me wanna throw up.....
badgerx16 Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 So we lose at Old Trafford and the moaners expect us to win this match - given that they have THAT team, Ibra, Rooney, Pogba, Martial, etc! Get real we're doing well, but hard to compete against this type of quality. I reckon their left back cost more than our back 5.
SaintRobbie Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 We are boring. Puel... We have no end product. You have one plan...its failing again. Redmond displaying his standard lack of ability so far. We lack quality - we badly need a replacement for Mané, Wanyama and Pelle. Any chance Les? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
lickierambert Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Neat but no end product. It's like the worst bits of the Pochettino era
angelman Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Not impressed with United at all. Agree. But how much is that down to us?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Harsh the bold bit. Agree we need another Dm and a striker, doubt we will see a Mane replacement annoyingly.

alpine_saint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 you gotta laugh I suppose everyones entitled to a view Well I agree with him
shurlock Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Agree. But how much is that down to us? Quite a bit, though I don't think they have much to stretch sides.
SO16_Saint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Tempted to watch the women's hockey at 9, this is a boring game
Jimmy_D Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well I agree with him This shocking news has taken me completely and utterly by surprise.
Batman Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 HT neat and tidy, you can sort of see why goals will be a premium more often than not for us.
Wrensup Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 We're so damn passy! And lacking a focal point upfront big time.
Plastic Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well I agree with him Not really a surprise tbh
shurlock Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 HT neat and tidy, you can sort of see why goals will be a premium more often than not for us. We created more chances in the first half than our last two games at OT.
saintroyt Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 claude states that we are strong enough up front les keeps his hands in his pocket let's have a whip round ,send them to Disney where they can play with f.cking Mickey Mouse
Bad Wolf Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 I swear Poch, Koeman and Puel are the same person tactics wise.
striker Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well we can't score, but we sure can complete passes. I am much more a fan of the direct style than this diamond thing.
Jimmy_D Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Think we actually looked pretty decent there. Man Utd probably not been quite as good as us, but individual quality bailing them out.
alpine_saint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well, all of you saying its not a suprise that I agree with Saint Robbie, note the evidence of your own damn eyes. We shipped out Pelle and Mane, and havent replaced them at all.
Verbal Kint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Being a very average premier league full back at his age is a great achievement. Shaw was exceptional, shouldn't be compared to that.he's fine as back up while he's learning He'll never be good enough but will be given far longer than he should because he's come through the academy. A championship player and no more. We've passed it nicely but we really are going to struggle to score goals playing in this way
SaintRobbie Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Puel has no strikers and Long can't play in the role of attacking midfielder. Redmond has been awol. And can't play there either. Puel is clueless. We pass and pass and have loads of midfielders.... And no one to score and pass to. No target man. Puel needs 12 players to play his system! Joke. We need to invest in players for Puel fast - not Les Reids fantasy team - we need x3 players urgently - this year I'm properly worried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
TwoPints Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 I think we're doing OK. Just one lapse where Davis decided not to close Rooney down and they score. Apart from that effort we've had nothing to worry about. We've created a few chances and I'm sure we'll create a few more in the second half. I'm keeping everything crossed as this game ain't over yet. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
shirleysfc Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Propaganda football. Don't know what you mean but I like it
jamesfp1 Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Not too bad a half but what was long thinking!? Davis's love of giving the ball away has pretty much led to every chance and their goal.
Wade Garrett Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Just be patient. We are creating a bit of space in forward areas. Would like to see Austin on at some point. Best finisher we've got. Not happy with Davis half-hearted attempt to block Rooney's cross for the goal though.
Miltonaggro Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 All filler no killer at the moment. Tidy (with the exception of Cedric) but blunt, very blunt!
Saint_clark Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well I think we've played very well. Bit frustrating that Davis didn't close Rooney down more but I bet Puel will go nuts at him about it. Only other complaint is that on two occasions we've got forward with them scrambling to get in position only for us to pass it back to the defence giving them time to organise.
sfc1976 Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Targett needs to be a bit more confident and try and get in behind sometimes instead of looking backwards. Apart from that, pretty much as expected - solid enough with goals going to be a struggle.
harvey Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Tempted to watch the women's hockey at 9, this is a boring game Agreed
Bewildered Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Tepid stuff from both teams really. Our defending for the goal was rubbish though. Davis lets Rooney take all the time in the world to pick out Ibrahimovic, who rises above Fonte like he wasn't even there and finishes. Had some good chances, but we seem incapable of producing a worthwhile shot. Neither full back is contributing enough going forward either. Targett wastes every attacking opportunity by crossing on sight and Cedric is just passing backwards and sideways.
Donatello Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 But he was only having to be there because Targett was awol. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Targett was completely faultless for their goal.

beatlesaint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Propaganda football. exactly this, I was thinking just that. We aren't bad, we are just toothless up front, no end product.
Saint_clark Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Targett was completely faultless for their goal. Yep, he was marking his man which Davis didn't do.
striker Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 We have 1 striker, Austin. However Purl puts him at the end of the bench. Interesting that ManU's striker is the one who scored. We need finishing not more passing around.
trousers Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Decent half from us. Limited Utd to one or two chances. Fancy us getting a draw out of this.
PeteCampbell Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 This is too much. Puel is clueless??? Redmond has been awol???
Saint_clark Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 exactly this, I was thinking just that. We aren't bad, we are just toothless up front, no end product. Too early to be able to say that for me.
SO16_Saint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Agreed Have turned over. Saw my first game of hockey at the semi final stage. It's brutal. Will use this thread to keep up to date with the game
whelk Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 We have 1 striker, Austin. However Purl puts him at the end of the bench. Interesting that ManU's striker is the one who scored. We need finishing not more passing around. Tactical genius you

We need finishing not more passing around. Wtf are you on about? Long is a striker and Redmond is being converted into one, which is going well so far.
Yorkshire Saint Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 I can not believe some of the comments above. We have controlled the game, had some good chances - certainly less defensive than the last two years at OT. Any educated fan would see this is very good football. A lack of a killer instinct but jeez guys this is the second game and if we carry on this way then I can only see another fine season. Support the team !
Plastic Posted 19 August, 2016 Posted 19 August, 2016 Well, all of you saying its not a suprise that I agree with Saint Robbie, note the evidence of your own damn eyes. We shipped out Pelle and Mane, and havent replaced them at all. Did you rate them then?
