Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [26th - 28th August 2022]

[The Running Man]

Sancho actually had one of his better performances.

Having watched Elanga I know now why EHT cry for Antony

 

[Robbo]

Casemiro on!

 

[C Kent]

Still no Carvalho in starting 11 from us, baffling choice, each time he has come on he has been a spark or energy to the team and brought about change yet Klopp still isnt giving him his debut.

Frankly drop Bobby Salah through middle and give Carvalho ago on wing or in middle and Elliot at the wing.

Would have gone with Carvalho and Elliot with fab in his usual, guess he feels the need to have hendo in there tho

 

[fez]

Our forwards need to stop being in awful locations when we don’t have the ball in our control.

 

[Calpol]

This still feels like Ole ball.

 

[Robbo]

People go on about transfers but we really do need another 3 players at least, the squad is just a bit flat.

Considering Ronaldo has only just come on so should be fresh, he's just walking around and doesn't look bothered.

 

[fez]

This still feels like Ole ball.

We still haven’t fixed the midfield. You can’t play modern progressive football with a junk midfield.

 

[Bigpig]

Casemiro on for 5 mins and straight away barking orders and trying to make the team more organised.

 

[adam cool dude]

I have to say Malacia is turning out to be a bit of a bargain. Been solid all game. Dalot as well

I think our distance covered will be poor for today.

How was that not a foul on McTominay. He’s kicked his leg just as he went to kick the ball and now he’s injured.

 

[robfosters]

That twist looked horrible

 

[manic111]

Yeah Malacia looks excellent. Still don't rate Dalot, he's a bit headless.

 

[fez]

Dalot is OK. That’s about as much as you can say for him.

 

[omnomnom]

That's a hell of a protest lads. That'll show em.

 

[Sui]

Estupinan gets his full PL debut today, look forward to seeing what he can do as he's looked decent coming off the bench!

 

[adam cool dude]

Yeah Malacia looks excellent. Still don't rate Dalot, he's a bit headless.

He had the assist today and was a good ball for it.

 

[Calpol]

Barely saw United string 5 passes together today. Very poor. Only slightly excused by an awful pitch.

 

[fez]

He had the assist today and was a good ball for it.

We need to get away from this idea of judging players on a few moments per game. That’s what has got us into this mess.

When you play well over the game you control and win games. When you think a player has done well because they have had a couple of good moments outside of mediocrity you are never going to be a top team.

 

[manic111]

He had the assist today and was a good ball for it.

Doesn't make him a good player. He's positionally poor, tackles from poor situations, and isn't that good going forward. Better than AWB though!

 

[Converge]

Phew, a wins a win, but that was pretty bad.
