Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [20th - 25th February 2015]

It's almost as if Gouffran and Colback are playing hide and seek for 90 minutes every week.

I don't even care enough to argue. Perez is class, but still very raw. Good luck looking like an actual footballer in this team, though. Cisse manages to have the best goals to minutes ratio in the league and we can't even string 4 passes together.

Has a good touch and movement every now and then but usually goes missing for the other 80 mins of a game.

I have to admit, I've always thought ADM was best when given the ball and allowed to run at people. It almost looks like LVG has taken him aside and told him to pack it in.

Really though, it just seems like the whole team has been told not to try anything that might be remotely risky, even though the defence is never strong enough to work with a tactic like that.

No wonder Herrera doesn't get game time, the whole concept of slowing the game down constantly and playing it safe flies totally against his style.

Gouffran blocked me on Twitter for tagging him in that Squawka tweet ^

He's done more work on Twitter than he did in the entire game.

Far too many games being influenced by bad officiating this season, here's 4 from today that went strangely unpunished -

I hear there was a mare at Sunderland as well, probably others too.

Ok that challenge on Matic is ****ing horrible. Deserves more than a push.

 

[manic111]

Anita is absolutely toilet. What does he actually offer?

One on ivanovic was horrid too

Fair to say they're all pretty horrific decisions.

Anita is absolutely toilet. What does he actually offer?

Absolutely nothing in this league. He recycles possession well, sometimes.

 

[Robbo]

Van Persie left the stadium on crutches (not sure why), perhaps him being injured will result in a shake up of our attack, we can try Rooney with Falcao/Wilson instead.

If we want to play possession football then Mata must be playing in behind the strikers, not Fellaini. Fellaini should be put on if we need to hoof it.

 

[Tute]

We should never need to hoof it, I mean come on.

If we had the same squad as we finished last season with I could understand it as a Plan B but hoofball with the attacking talent we have? No, just no.

I agree, but it seems we're left with no choice at the moment.

Van Persie left the stadium on crutches (not sure why)

He injured himself towards the end of he game trying to make a cross. You had used all your subs by then and he was practically a passenger for the rest of the game.

Oh, I know that, I mean I'm not sure what his injury is or if it's bad.

Can't blame robbo for not noticing to be fair

 

[Tummy]

Passenger for 'just' the rest of the game? How about a passenger all season?

 

[Nate75]

The only thing more shocking than Man U's performance was that "challenge" on Matic :O

 

[Rybo89]

Just watching match of the day. That challenge on Matic is disgusting... The ref had an absolute joke of a game.

 

[sigma]

As much as I detest everything about Chelsea, those decisions are shocking. That tackle on Matic nasty

 

[omnomnom]

He should be looking at a suspension for that, preferably longer than the 3 as well. Matics red won't be overturned so he'll miss the cup final, massive for Spurs.
