Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th September - 1st October 2017]

Against poor teams that don't play much he is good. Causes issues and is good in the box. Against good teams he is useless. Last week he was dire in the second half. Hes either useful when the other team is poor or when you need something different near the end of a game against a tired team.
 
Do people genuinely sit round a table when sacking a manager and pick out Hodgson as the man to save their season?

Absolute myth of a manager.
Palace were always going to lose these 3 games regardless of who was managing. If Roy doesn't come up with something in the few games after Chelsea then we are screwed

Losing them is one thing...losing them whilst sat in the stands looking as miserable he is, is another oh and the godawful defending doesn't help.

How as a player do you get yourself motivated with that miserable sod on the touchline.

This was one of the big issues with Moyes and to a lesser extent LVG. The best managers don't let a defeat or playing badly affect them. Hodgson looks depressed and that will clearly rub off on the team and fans.
 
I'm still worried as a United fan that we will get battered against a good team. We stick a lot of goals in but we are so suspect defensively when we are a few goals up. We just switch off and rely on teams to be utterly **** in front of goal. Palace are dire and Southampton should really have beaten us with the possession and chances they had.

Lukaku loves a tap in.
 
Lukaku finally scores, tap in. 4-0.

FT.

Easy win without a great effort required. Hard to judge just how effective we'll be against the better teams but we're certainly much better than last season.
