What’s the point in having Lansbury on it, This is the same Lansbury who came off the bench at Selhurst Park and scored a perfectly good goal which the ref erroneously ruled out? Yes it's hard to see how he could possibly influence the game at all. Edited July 12, 2020 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would have to be some kind of ludicrous VAR controversy in addition to whatever self destruct button is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Still no Drinkwater and yet we extended the loan... I’d rather have him as an option than Lansbury, who is another waste of kit. (hopefully Lansbury will come on and score the winner now!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa94 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So 2 right backs on the bench and a centre back at right back and 2 left footed centre backs.........what a clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So this is the most important game of the season, last chance, like the Webley final last season. It will be very interesting to see the attitude of our players, who are up for it and not, who wants to be here next season and who wants to leave.

Django_Zooms Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Can Sky Sports match Thursday, when every pundit was so ManU that they actually convinced themselves that was actually a penalty? For Neville/ Keane/ Evra maybe Wright/ Bright/ Andrew Johnson ??! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2020 I really cannot fathom starting Trezeguet over Elghazi. Elghazi is an utterly rubbish footballer at this level, but at least he looks like a footballer instead of the Kit Man being allowed a game. If Trezeguet has EVER looked even remotely like he can play its been when comming off the bench. Personally I would drop both but if you are going to play one regardless it is surely Elghazi? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure doesn't mean anything. Do you not think if we had a kid good enough for the prem he'd be around the squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Lansbury is shit but the idea we have kids better than him at this level, sitting at home is just hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand that, but smith never uses him this is why I don’t understand why we have him on the bench since these 9 subs are named, same with having 2 right backs on it today makes no sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 9 places on the bench and we can't fill them with players who can make a difference. You're right. We know some of those on the bench have little chance of getting on and even less chance of contributing to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took about 5 minutes and probably a word in his ear before the stance it was a stone wall penalty started softening. On a related note I hate how they use fans/ex-players of a club to commentate. I want to hear whats actually happening on the pitch not some deluded bias-ridden ramblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
