Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 21st August 2023]

why should you be beating them comfortably? You have to earn the right to beat a team on the pitch, just because your “ManU” doesn’t mean you have the right to beat anyone

I mean…it’s Spurs?

 

[Droolinggimp]

9 mins to get 2 goals

 

[Basill]

+9 mins seems a bit far fetched even for the new rules this season

 

[GlitterBalls]

Two really poor performances against teams we should be beating comfortably. Not a great start

leave off

Respect to the Liverpool fans applauding Michael Jones in the 26th minute.

This is partially on ETH too. It is obvious his current starting 11/tactics is just not working.

It needs to be changed next game. We look worse than we were last season and we had quite a strong finish.

Partially? The majority is on him. Its his team.

I'm sure Utd will get better over the season, but for the money thats been spent over the years. The managers are not rubbish, the players bought are not rubbish, but the club just seems all over the place (looking from the outside as a toon fan) Where's the spine of the team, like back in the old days. The GK, CB, MF and Striker that you build the rest of the team around

It comes from the top, there is still no structure at the club. They've brought in ETH and let him pick the transfer targets, which is risky.

I think the fans are generally a bit fed up and would like the club sale resolved, although that's gone totally quiet.

In terms of the squad, it's imbalanced and not good enough, pretty simple really. Would a single one of our players make City's starting XI? Nope. We're miles off.

Not sure what more can be said, there's nothing we can do.

Yes, the ones who just decimated the second half, get the tissues out

 

[G-MAN2004]

Lol Mason thinking ‘what the hell have I done?’

He's used to it.

 

[CliffyG]

Who knew not having Weghorst up front would have such dire consequences....

 

[the wopster]

Unfortunately he's right, the squad isn't good enough.

How much do you want to spend, he already has a net spend of over £310m

Good to hear. Was a horrible story.

What happened in the Portsmouth game today, anyone know, something like 27 mins injury time

100%

The club ownership needs sorted out asap - this "charade" of nearly 9 months now is a joke.
Greenwood situation needs dealt with one way or another.

United still lacking, and have been for YEARS, a proper ball winning midfield player - REAL quality one.

It's blindingly obvious.

Paying £70 million for a injured 20 year old centre forward doesn't smack of great business either!!

 

[GlitterBalls]

Definitely agree with Gary, Bissouma been on fire.

Beautiful.

 

[adam cool dude]

We have Forest next week then Arsenal and Brighton. Going to be a messy few weeks I think.

How much longer Hojlund out for?

Farcical scenes at Portsmouth v Cheltenham as game is paused in order to find assistant referee

Didnt you spend 70 mil on one last summer?

that new spurs keeper can pick a save
