I see on his rally there are thousands of his supporters packed shoulder to shoulder without a mask in sight. 

It's a strange thing to encourage, you might say foolish, encouraging how own supporters to wipe each other out. 

Like a parasite which kills it's host leaving less hosts to support them. 

Lets talk about the democrat cities that have been shut down for months destroying people's business, with mask mandates worse than the UK, but yet the virus continues to increase rapidly. 

Let's talk about the said Governors who shut down the cities but yet break their own rules, just like they have in the UK.

There is going to be riots.  Any blood is firmly on Trumps hands. 

What about all the riots pre-election where people were murdered? Are those on Biden's hands?

Said in game thread, we need a dead ball specialist who is a starter. That's what is missing from this team.

We have seen in many games this season, we need a dead ball specialist who is an automatic starter. It isn't Grealish, and it isn't Traore. We get into some many good positions with dead balls and the service is piss poor.

I think Barkley could be that player, but is he going to stay fit enough? Can we merger Barkley and Conor?

There’s definitely a case for bringing on Davis. Watkins is getting completely outmuscled by Bailly and even though he might not be the same goal threat, I’d back Keinan to do a better job at bringing others into the game. 

Davis for Traore, and push Watkins right?

We look fatigued, we are giving the ball away to easily, and then we have Mings. United deserve their lead.

yes he has been good. Don't know what to make of the header. Should he have directed it back from where it came. 

Tried a spectacular dive, and fluffed it.

Smith: Ollie, I know you have run three hours (in 48 hours) as the lone striker, but do you mind popping out wide for the last 10?

Ollie: 

Great work rate, tremendous effort again.

I think Smith had a word with him a half-time; he was much better 2nd half. 

Just before they scored,  I am seeing Giroud is too good for our center halves. I would rather Abraham had played.

We started brightly, but after Cash got the kick we have looked very lethargic. Traore didn't track for the goal, but it was very nicely taken. I think Elmo 0r Freddie should come on for Traore, it could be even done at halftime.

Watkins could do with some help, he looks the most tired of them all.

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to City in the January window. I believe he is better than Fernandinho (whose contract is up soon); I hope we have our scouts out looking.

One of the best performance I have seen in a very long time. it could of been backs against the wall, but we went at them and it could of been 5 or 6.

Can anyone tell me why Ward wasn't sent off after he took Targett out and already on a yellow after going through Jack?"

His confidence has dropped a bit the last few weeks but still gives everything. Also a better player against good teams who don't park the bus.

I agree, he needs a goal soon; he has been very unlucky with VAR. The two goals he has had wiped out, I couldn't tell either way. He is working very hard for the team, but even his hold up play is looking sloppy.

It is still early days, and if Trez is fit, he won't be playing. I have seen improvement over the last few games.

He is getting into better positions, understanding his role better it seems, just needs the final product (there's a few of those)

He picked the best team for the opponents, and I believe he go the tactics right.

I think he should have put Davis down the middle, and moved Ollie out wide. 

He could have brought Connor on for last 10 to try and get something from a set-play, or Freddie at right back, and push Elmo on for Traore. Even possible Ramsey for AEG and pushed Jack back out left towards the end.

For me, 8 out of 10 for the day.

He gad a very good game, created a lot, but as AEG he didn't have his shooting boots on tonight.

He picked a couple of wrong passes in my mind, but still a big step ahead of the rest of the players when it comes to creativity.

I thought he had a great game for winger, as a scorer of goals not so much.

First game full game back after receiving a lot of abuse, I think he stepped, shame he wasn't as sharp in front of goal.

Should have thrown him out wide and pushed Davis down the middle for the last ten. He was more likely to create for Davis than visa versa.

He made a lot of good runs, but service was poor tonight.

I think his chance of playing for us is gone, we are merely protecting the value of the asset now!

 

 

If he goes away to the Championship on loan and plays the whole season and score five goals, then I would agree. He goes and scores 15-20 goals, then he could come back a totally different player. If he can get into the habit of scoring, he would be an asset.

Absolutely no chance .. you need to analyse how he plays and then if your knowledge of football is up to standard you will know that he wont transform into this beast. He lacks the main qualities required to be a feared striker.. other than hold up the ball and brung it down on his chest and then spray a nice pass out wide to the wing there is nothing else to his game believe me. Luiz Had footballing abilities and the required attributes but he just needed to adapt to the game - Theres a difference !!

Lets get the ball into area between the six-yard line and penalty spot on a regular basis then we can judge. He has to hold the ball up deep, because our wingers are deep, and they very rarely get to the by line. It the reason all of our strikers weren't getting many chances to score last season.

He does the job he were asking him to do very well , he has the ability to score in front of goal given the chance.

But Barry Bannan wasn't exercising his misdemeanor, in the middle of a world pandemic.....where sensible, disciplined people stay at home......and do as they are told.

And Jack posted a video only a few hours earlier, #stayhomesavelives really, really, poor timing.

well tbh 6 weeks ago it was done, **** knows after covid. 

our owners said they wouldn’t stand in his way although they wanted market value £70-80m. 2 years left on contract probably relegated. 
United offer him 5 years around £155k p/w and it’s all done.  

Other bits to it but I show my hand if I say how I know. 

Take this P lads I don’t care, personally I’m gutted but that’s the situation. 
 

 

 

If that is the case, wouldn't we be able to do United for tapping up a player?

Either way, if he has started these antics again and did go out after telling everyone to stay in, I personally believe it would be worse than what Delph did. Putting people's life on the line because he wanted to hang out with a ex-player who couldn't even jump a gate. If it was him, I'm happy he hit a car and not a person. If he didn't do it, then people need to get a life trying to build these stories.

Three week break after the Chelsea game, another heavy defeat and the club may see it as the time to take a gamble on someone else.
