Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [15th May 2016]

[JohnnyG]

So much for that guess, he's put out a full strength team.

Must be going for the 19-0.

 

[Shamikebab]

Surely tonight would have been the perfect chance to give Varela and Pereira a go?

As if you'd score 19 goals selecting a team like that!!!!

 

[Trusty]

Sunderland have scored more goals than Utd this season, theres a stat for you. Happy days

 

[Robbo]

Should be an interesting atmosphere tonight.

 

[NexusK]

Quite possibly Carrick's last home game too.

 

[Robbo]

LvG listing the 'positives' if we win tonight in that pre-match interview... wow.

 

[fez]

What were the positives other than his chance discovery of Rashfords talents and those of a few other kids that he only played when his hand was forced.

Golden glove for De Gea.

Best defence.

5th place.

Couple of others I think.

 

[fez]

He really is a tool. On the plus side DDG seems to have a better first touch than most of the outfield players.

 

[Shamikebab]

'best defence' rofl.

 

[fez]

Statistically our defence is actually quite good. Unfortunately statistics don't do the defending so we have to rely on a makeshift defence most weeks and hope that playing dull possession football allows our one goal to win games.

 

[fez]

We should be at least 3-0 up by now unless we are just softening up Bournemouth for the second half slaughter.

 

[md85]

He just had to bore us senseless one last time didn't he.

 

[Shamikebab]

Half asleep here, this is so bad.

 

[Robbo]

He just had to bore us senseless one last time didn't he.

There's the cup final yet.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Fans who've got in for free tonight will be asking for a refund going by the first 30 mins

Like the worst pre season friendly ever.

 

[fez]

Its amazing how consistently we have performed this season. This could be any one of about 90% of our games this year. Possession going nowhere. Passing backwards when you are faced with the slightest pressure. Losing the ball or an attack petering out when we get into the final quarter because the opposition have 10 men behind the ball. Looking like we might struggle to defend any attack an opponent manages to cobble together.

Classic stuff Louis.

 

[Robbo]

Christ this is awful.

 

[Trusty]

Time is running out to get those 19 goals lads
Better get a shift on...
