Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [21st - 23rd October 2023]

I think we are doing okay considering our injury crisis. People seem to blindly ignore that even tonight we are playing with Lindelof as left back and a centre back partnership of Maguire and 35 year old Evans.

You might be missing the fact that Sheffields injury crisis is probably worse than United’s.

 

[Martynt74]

If we win then it’s possibly the only time I recall United winning a “special” match.

Usually big occasions which relate to the clubs history result in a bumming.

 

[JamesH85]

Evans injured now?

 

[adam cool dude]

Here comes Blondies 1978 hit heart of glass. Sorry I mean Raphael Varane.

Competition for worst haircut of the day between Garnacho and Ben White.

 

[ryu]

Unlucky Garnacho, I thought that was in

 

[adam cool dude]

I know the pundits will say Slab had a good game tonight but fail to realise he is up against Sheffield United. Then next week he will get skinned alive by City.

 

[bingham67]

omg terrible even if offside

In one post you're saying Utd aren't doing too bad struggling to beat Sheffield Utd and in the next you're saying people shouldn't give Maguire credit because it's just Sheffield Utd

 

[nemtizz]

Surely nobody rates Garnacho

He's just been given man mountain of the match

Good win, poor performance.

At least when we get a couple of defenders back from injury we'll play amazing free-flowing football and win the league.

 

[adam cool dude]

Funny thing is considering how bad a start we have had we are only 6 points off the top of the league. Haha.

We have barely had any coherent starting 11 since the season has began. No wonder we are all disjointed.

Title challenge back on?

After 9 games...after 10 games you'll be 9 points off the top.

That's a lot lol.

I can't really accept that. We have no system of play unlike most other teams. We rely on a moment of inspiration or a counter attack and have done so since Ole was manager. That's on tenHag to sort and he's failing so far. We've laboured since Christmas 2022 which is approaching a year of little progress. Even the Carabao cup win was quite a stodgy effort. Actually think Fernandes is a big part of the problem in this system which makes it more baffling that tenHag splurged so much money on Mount. A win but it feels pretty empty after that performance against the worst team in the league.

I haven't paid any attention to international football for quite some time but Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is part of the England set-up?!?!

Is he? Thats the most funiest thing I have heard all weekend. How the hell did that happen?

No idea. After the Utd match they were talking about Maguire and JFH was talking about working with him and it popped up on screen that he's a coach for the England side.
