Genie Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Ole’s decision to put Pogba on at half time needs some scrutiny / criticism. Already 4-0 down, he was never going go steady the ship was he. Proven bad attitude and inconsistent performer should have never gone on the pitch in that scenario.

The_Steve Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Second pic shows the anger on Ronaldo’s face. So why no VAR or pitch side review? I’m guessing the FA will be too cowardly to punish him retroactively also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing the FA will be too cowardly to punish him retroactively also. To be fair, the ball is right there to be kicked. I can see why there was enough doubt to give him the benefit. It was a shitty thing to do none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Neville should be running the country. Never known a man speak so much and say so little. Also....for the 1000th time IDGAF what happened at Valencia for you. It's completely and utterly irrelevant. "Look Dave when I was at Valencia....waffle waffle waffle." "So Gary....I heard you saw the new Dune movie. Thoughts?: "Look Dave when I was at Valencia...." "Hi Gary mate you fancy a pint tonight?: "Valencia. Barca. 5-0. White hankies.

bobzy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I don't think Ronaldo should have been sent off - it's a dick thing to do, but he only ever kicks the ball (apart from the first wild swing where he kicks nothing at all). It's almost an "orange" card, but would be disappointed to see someone sent off for that. Just checked their next few fixtures. Wow. Huge run of games: Sat 30th Oct - Spurs (A) Tue 2nd Nov - Atalanta (A) Sat 6th Nov - Man City (H) Sat 20th Nov - Watford (A) Tue 23rd Nov - Villareal (A) Sun 28th Nov - Chelsea (A) Thur 2nd Dec - Arsenal (H) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 He probably needs minimum 10 points from the 5 league games to save his job Shows the United standards have dropped so badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to take the ball he would be rolling it back with the bottom of his foot. There's only reason to do what he did, which is booting the player and using the ball as a get out. Sadly, it worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I can see how him only going for the ball gives enough benefit of the doubt to only give the yellow, but I think a red would have been justified. He's not trying to win the ball, he's angry and he's lashing out at his opponent in frustration. He's not trying to get the ball and continue the play, he's trying to hurt his opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's angry and frustrated but he's not trying to hurt his opponent for **** sake If he wants to do that, the opportunity is quite literally there for him. He's just being a dick. It doesn't endanger Jones in any way - he's up straight away pointing out how much of a dick Ronaldo is. It's a yellow, he got a yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every fan in the country wants him to stay on but Neville refuses to believe the coaching staff is the problem. What about Conte he is asked? Doesn't want him on the basis LVG and Jose didn't work (won trophies.) Sound logic. We hired 2 world class managers before so let's not do that again. He's actually damaging.

PaulC Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Scholes called it before the Liverpool game after the performance against Atalanta. I am not sure how he can keep his job after that performance. They are a team of individuals and Ronaldo hasnt helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 They've got rid of Woodward so that excuse gone With him gone they've gone out and bought sancho, varane and Ronaldo No where else to go now, they can't get the scarves out, they can't moan about prioritising sponsors, Ole is next for the bullet, this has to land at his feet and he's not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is What else is he trying to do? Kick the ball so hard that it goes through Jones? He knows he can't win that ball Its a frustrated petulant kick out that he got away with And doesn't endanger him? You think that if Jones did that to Fernandes the reaction and result would be the same? Absolutely not a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'd say that's not only a red, that's a multiple game ban. Really poor behaviour, if that is not violent misconduct I don't know what is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
