The armband doesn’t matter

of course it does

 

[Robbo]

I can see Rooney beating us later...

 

[Andybtsn]

[cm1179]

we played burnley 3 times in 2017. scored 6 and conceded 1. how did we underestimate them?

You drew 1 -1 with them at home, conceding in the 90th minute.

I don't think it's underestimating Burnley but let's be honest us, spurs, Utd Should be beating Burnley, it's like Bradford coming up to anfield I'd of course expect us to beat them, doesn't mean it's a given

conceding a 90th minute at wembley isn't really underestimating them. they got lucky. we were finding our feet on new ground

 

[Purdy]

Finding feet on new ground is a silly thing to say

 

[Mark1989]

All were doing is going backwards atm, Just no ideas thus far at all

 

[Trusty]

lol

That and hoofing it lol

Yup ball has bee in air for about 50% of our possession i think

 

[Purdy]

Holy **** what a tackle

 

[Mark1989]

Lallana only just saved us there, but we were lucky

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

We've missed him a lot

 

[cm1179]

Nope. If you’d ever played sport at a decent level you’d know. Leaders don’t need an armband to lead... to say the right things and do the right things. And you need more than one leader in a team to be successful.

you've clearly never played at a decent level

 

[Mark1989]

What ever Mane role is today it doesnt seem to be offering us anything so far

 

[Mark1989]

It’s not necessarily added pressure. It’s a perspective thing... some take it and improve, some don’t. The question is who’s best placed to make that decision... us, or the coaches working with him every day.

Our coaches when it comes to him are blind he is a cack keeper who falters under pressure for us on a regular basis. could have given it to Lallana

 

[Mark1989]

Jesus christ this is a **** poor 30mins from us, struggle to watch, so slow, backwards, sideways just zero ideas when it comes to final third

 

[Purdy]

Not only is this horrid football but the ref now giving decisions based on crowd reactions zzz

Can’t wait until he has a big one to make...
