  1. Just to think a couple of weeks ago their forum as full of threads denouncing all the journalists as ignorant for tipping them for relegation That squad has to be one of the worst I've seen in the league, mid-table championship quality if that.

    Chelsea

    He got a 30 minute run out yesterday, did nothing.
  3. Minor error? It was awful defending. Organisation of the back line, from set pieces in particular, was subpar as well. Guess we can just as easily tell from preseason the people who will refuse to acknowledge any criticisms as valid.
  4. This is how I saw it, and I was deliberately paying close attention to him as its such a popular point that what he does goes unnoticed. Was neat and tidy, kept the ball well and the technique for some of the passes was excellent but nothing really incisive. Amavi head and shoulders above him IMO, would probably have Gueye just pipping him as well.
  5. Can see how he got 8 MOTM awards last season he is absolutely class.
  6. Jesus wept, of all people to get on their high horse
  7. Absolutely, Gueye makes a mistake but Richards do one to. He should stay on his feet. Agreed he should definitely stay on his feet. Just seen the replay and the deflection off clark takes it away from guzan too. Sloppy goal to concede but cant put all the blame on richards Tbh you can put most of it on him though. Yes Gueye lost his man there but it will happen at times, he was excellent otherwise, Richards going to ground that easily was school boy stuff IMO.
  8. Aside from the front three looking pretty ineffectual, which I do think is partly down to how defensive United have set-up, I didn't think it was a bad half at all, they are one of the best sides in the league and we are unlucky to be behind.
  9. Exactly. We were matching them before the goal IMO and it's no wonder we we aren't creating much as they are playing very defensively, I can see us getting back into it.
  10. Well I'm glad he has as we've been good.
  11. Completely unmarked very poor defending.
  12. Great intensity so far, looking good on the ball too.
  13. McClean, Chester and Lambert are obviously much more astute signings
  14. We've got to have one of the fastest squads in the league now you would have thought.
  15. I didn't mind him but wasnt exactly sad to see him go. Think Ayew will be a good upgrade and be more effective out wide than Weimann if we need, as he used to play that position.
  16. I'd start to believe Sherwood had mythical powers if we sign this guy.
  17. Isn't he their captain? Can't see why he'd want to leave to come to us tbh.
  18. This thread is like Groundhog Day. "Westwood is good". "No, he is bad." "Who would you rather have then?" Repeat ad nauseam.
  19. Echos my feelings on the situation. Judging from this thread you'd be forgiven to assume that he is simultaneously one of the most over and under rated players in the team.
  20. A bit off-topic but I've wondered for a while with buy back clauses whether the player has any say. For instance, if Madrid were to use the buy back clause for Morata what happens if he doesn't want to leave Juve can he just refuse personal terms with Real? Not that I can really see Traore refusing Barca to stay with us if they came calling.
