Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [26th - 29th Jan 2021]

Performance against us? We had a child that moves like a tank at the back and a central midfielder. You were gifted two of your goals and the third was a daft soft foul. We were absolutely awful at the weekend and you werent much better.

All depends on what we want from this United side. If we are happy to drift around the top 4-6 then Ole is good enough to do that with these players. If you actually want to win anything of note he isn't anywhere near the level required. Our movement today was awful. There was no plan when we got near the box.

There never has been a plan when you get near the box. You put the ball in there and hope there's a mistake, that Cavani does something, or that Pogba or Bruno score a wondergoal. There's still no plan or evident style of play under OGS, which is why you won't win the league under him

Just want to smash something now. Absolutely fuming after our performance against the pool we do crap like that that.

Sheffield haven't been fantastic. They knicked a deflected goal and from a stupid corner. They had 24% possession. Argh!

We offered nothing at all. When you offer so little against a team that has 5 points, yes 5 points in the league you have no right to complain about anything. We don't have an issue with personnel, we have an issue with coaching. Look at the movement in the City game yesterday then look at us. They defended with 10 men behind the ball and we stood with our backs to them making no runs and with no movement between the lines.

We got what we deserved from that game.
 
We have shipped double the goals of City this season already. Both of Sheffield's goals were stupid defensive errors that shouldn't have happened in the first place. De Gea is the heart of this problem. Hopefully the FA cup and Europa League will show that Henderson is the future.

The fact he continues to play Martial shows DDG will be fine for a long time yet.
He didn’t even put Cavani on for the whole second half, just part of it. It’s ridiculous. And taking Greenwood off instead of Martial. Just... well, it doesn’t make any sense.

Yep. I'm amazed that people still don't see it. Its why we defend so poorly as well. Its basic stuff like not tracking runs. We will have 5 defenders marking 3 players and they will still get the run on us. Its a coaching issue. Its Ole not being able to teach the players how to work as a cohesive attacking or defensive unit.

I honestly have no idea where we will finish the season. It will depend entirely on the form of our players and how much luck we have.

We will see next week when City play them.
 
Funny watching people act surprised at this. :p We were never really title contenders, the manager and too many of the players are dodgy.

I'll be shocked if we get anywhere near 1st place's points total.

I'm predicting an absolute battering. SU had 5 points from 19 games before tonight. Thats beyond awful. The issue wasn't with SU playing a blinder, we were just dire. SU had an easy job of keeping us out and got a bit lucky which we have done enough already this season.

I reckon we will be around 15-18 pts off the winners. I don't think Fernandes and Pogba work in the team together and I think we will drop a lot of points through a lot of draws before the end of the season.
 
Utd were never going to win it they got carried away cause they drew with us and beat us Sunday.

Title will be city this year imo, they have hit form and have far better squad and style than utd

Liverpool only managed to beat them 2-1. Everton beat them 1-0, Leicester beat them 2-1. Man City beat them 1-0. They are a well organised team defensively but have absolutely nothing going forward. They got two absolute stinker goals which allowed them to dig in. Their first goal was a clear foul on the keeper who should have done better anyway and their second was just a joke from our defence. If our defensive play wasn't inept we would be looking at a 1-0 win, maybe more because they didn't have to push for points.

We have the best goals scored in the league yet have shipped goals akin to the bottom half of the table. Something needs to be done to stop that. If we can solve that next season we can challenge. Please remember Ole is in his second full season. it took three for pep and four for Klopp to win a title.

Ole took over a far FAR better squad then Klopp and has spent 250million, 130 mil of which was on Maguire and AWB. You also dont have the most score dgoals...you are joint with us and have played a game more.

This season is a write off anyway to be honest and i dont think people should take a lot out of it.
