  1. I think it’s time they took Ollie aside and ask him if he should consider a new career
  2. We don’t do the basics well enough, missed passes, poor control, terrible crossing - never gone win until we develop our basica
  3. We just struggle to do the basics well, pass, cross, etc
  4. It’s a real shame he doesn’t give Archer a go upfront instead of Ollie, try something different, he can’t be any worse
  5. He isn’t a manager for this era. He would have probably worked ok 20 years ago, but everyone else is two steps ahead of him now. Managers are far more tactically aware and think strategically how and what they do - Potter being the obvious example. Gerard doesn’t try knew things, he keeps rinsing and repeating the same old things, expecting different results. The Mcgin situation is what Ten Hag faced at United. He gave Maguire two games and realised he was dragging the side down, slowing them up, etc. he didn’t keep on doing the same thing, he changed things. He dropped the captain and he put together a team that for the Liverpool match was strategically spot on. As many have said, Gerard thinks it is all about him, and like Purslow, I think pride is one of his biggest weaknesses
  6. I’m DE box today behind away fans. What a odious bunch they were, abusing children and asking a 15 year old girl to get her t**s out!! Most unpleasant away fans I’ve seen. From a football perspective we look clueless. Same old points about McGinn, no fluidity at all, and endless crosses they Zouma and Co mopped up with ease. Gerard completely out of his depth
  7. Wan Bissaka is an excellent defender, but appalling going forward, so kills any attack he is involved with. Really surprised United havent tried to convert him to a central defender, given how bad the rest of their defense is. Perhaps Everton might fancy him
  8. Literally to a man we have been awful, like we’ve never played together
  9. Every manager appointment is a risk, the ones you think are great fail, and the ones you never want succeed. Who on here would have wanted Moyes last time out, now look at West Ham Gerrard could be the next coming of Pep, or turn out like Frank at Chelsea, there are so many more factors involved than just his experience - players he purchase, injuries, etc etc. if Carney is the next great thing, is there a better mentor than SG? I could see him starting regularly by the season end, and think all the great kids will now potentially get a fast track opportunity. There are lots of reasons why it could be great, and also a chance it might not be, no doubt we will deal with or enjoy wherever it goes .
  10. It’s hard to actually believe what we are seeing with them
  11. It’s quite sad really, who would have imagined we would regress like this, for no apparent reason
  12. Something has gone horribly awry, players certainly seem lost or disinterested
  13. Sorry Dean, but sometimes you just need a change.
  14. Shambles of a formation, everyone out of position because of it!!
