Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th March - 3rd April 2019]

[Snax]

We lost the game because Ashley Young was a complete muppet and now everyone is calling for Solskjaers head. Football fans are fickle these days.

Not calling for Oles head. The timing of his appointment was bizarre; I don't know whether Ole will work out as a manager or not .

Appointing him permanently just as the honeymoon period was ending is bizarre especially as there is no risk of losing him. Far better to evaluate at the end of the season .

 

[Kelt]

How did Wolves miss that!

 

[Steedie]

3 losses in 4, and we were lucky to get a result against Watford. Not great

 

[Robbo]

Did Woodward put a cooling off period in the contract?

 

[Alex h]

Pogba was poor aswell tonight and finishing was poor theres a lot of work to be done

 

[Steedie]

Did Woodward put a cooling off period in the contract?

Bloody better have. Sack him and rehire him as caretaker please

Seems sensible. Rehire him at a reduced rate as he would just have been fired and we are doing him a favour.

Your sigs on shaky ground

Fletcher's been drinking? He's just said Young was unfortunate to get sent off.

nope he got the ball first, not all fouls are yellow cards

 

[Snax]

I swear being man utd manager makes people turn into gollum. First it was Moyes and now Ole!

 

[BaZ87]

You're right, not all fouls are yellows but studs up, half way up the side of the shin which also prevents a counter attack is at the very least a yellow. Ole just said there's certainly not any complaints about the decision too.

 

[nicktay2605]

It was definitely a second yellow for Young. It's one of those borderline ones where some refs might even have sent him off. Going over the top of the ball and somewhat lunging as Young did risks breaking someone's ankle/shin.

All-in-all it was another odd performance from United. There were far too many wayward passes and loose touches and we played into Wolves counterattack yet again.

 

[Shamikebab]

It was definitely a second yellow. Just a dumb, desperate lunge from a player who is clearly past it.

Tonight was unfortunate really, we should have been 3-0 and clear by 25 minutes but Lukaku and Lingard both missed sitters. There's not much Solskjaer could have done about that. We always look weaker with Martial and Rashford out.

 

[Skorpion]

Well played Wolves.

 

[chroniclard]

Need to bin off most of the Utd team and rebuild it. Selling Pogba, Lingard, Herrera, Mata, Matic, Smalling, Jones, Young, Darmian, Fred, Sanchez and Lukaku should do it.

 

[omnomnom]

De Gea at fault for the OG surely? He needs to be claiming those.

De Gea at fault for the OG surely? He needs to be claiming those.

Looked that way to me.

 

[doodah]

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants five wins for top-four spot

6 games left including City and Chelsea. Hhhhhhmmmm.
