Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [4th - 6th July 2020]

This is the most entertaining we've been since SAF left, easily.

VAR is just bad. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Edit: right call.

Start of the half wasn’t good for our health though, ha

 

[McBain]

Another De Gea **** up for the first goal?

Yeah well the defence and goalkeeper are not convincing but going forward things are pretty positive.

Yeah.

I'll wait for the PGMOL's statement then. I'm not sure there's been much coverage of Utd's luck with decisions outside of forums and twitter though, nor have many people said they weren't even correct in isolation, just that these marginal calls Utd keep getting haven't been going for other clubs. The handball today for example was no more or less a penalty than Cahill's handball vs Liverpool the other week.

What about the fouls City get away with?

Bournemouth look like a team that want to attack and score goals but can't be bothered defending.

Yeah.

Is there anyone on the cards. We need Vidic/VVD levels.

So do we by the sounds of things (I'm not watching).

 

[Shamikebab]

Not sure how De Gea was responsible for the first goal, it's 100% a Maguire error.

 

[fez]

Good to see Fredj coming on.

If you mean Fernandinho needing to committ 12 fouls before he gets booked then yea, he must have something dodgy on Mike Riley.

 

[McBain]

Bournemouth are utter dross, 4 against Newcastle at home and 5 so far at United. Championship beckons.

Shouldn't be getting beaten at your near post there.

Maguire was the big buy really...

That too but you have to cover the near post much better than he did.

Poor goalkeeping for sure but it Maguire shouldnt be beaten there.

 

[robfosters]

VAR fest

 

[Robbo]

God that must be millimetres.

 

[adam cool dude]

All the talk is about Sancho but with the way Greenwood is developing much better to save the cash and just buy a decent CB. De Gea I think is just a confidence thing.

Don't they also commit tactical fouls to prevent counter attacks?

Not sure I can blame a keeper from that distance really, impossible to cover everything from 3ft. Shouldn't be put in that position.

Both are still young though, we could rotate them, assuming we get European football. DeGea has had some howlers for what, two seasons now? At least we're scoring now, so they shouldn't be as damaging.
