Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [31st August - 1st September 2019]

[Calpol]

We are absolutely reliant on individual brilliance, mostly from our youngest players. A mess.

It's where we are.
Some positives are there to be seen but lets not expect us to be challenging for CL because its not realistic. The one criticism I'd make of Solskjaer is that the formation is not really working with the personnel we have. Rashford is not (at present) good enough to play as a centre forward. Pogba doesn't want to do the hard yards in central midfield. Periera is not good enough at this level. McTominay might be. Reality is that it might get worse before it gets better.

 

[Robbo]

1 win in 9 Premier League games. :/

 

[IronSpider]

This Rashford praise is sarcasm right?

Yet another one of those young united forwards everyone gets excited about and will end up at Sunderland in 3 years.

Not sure about the James criticism being one footed by Rashford certainly is. So massively over rated.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

City 1-0 already.

Edit: I'm actually getting angry about the agenda pundits, commentators and former players have against VAR. Watching BT sport and Savage is going mad about VAR because a linesman raised his flag when a player was actually onside. VAR wasn't involved, the linesman made a mistake yet he's said that wouldn't happen if VAR wasn't part of our game.

Tammy Abraham on fire for Chelsea

 

[sneakysnail]

That Laporte injury looks bad. He knee got jammed sideways while his weight was on it.

 

[nicktay2605]

It's daft that City didn't sign a CB in the summer, particularly with Kompany leaving. Ottamendi is now their only fit CB.

 

[Purdy]

Utter nonsense

Okay was choosing to cross with outside of his right foot on the overlap for what reason then?

(Or when he tried to use his left he kicked it out of play lol)

 

[explicit4u]

Sheffield united equalise at Chelsea!

A win against Spurs will make this a near perfect weekend.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Truly awful defending as always.

 

[sneakysnail]

lololol

 

[McBain]

English keeper in being done by a cross shocker.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Lol!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Lad's a genius going forward. Clear attempt on goal

Edit: Now the kicks to the ankles begin. No doubt Dyke will be moaning about diving after the game and forget about his team kicking everyone.

 

[omnomnom]

Trents played well defensively aswell imo but his balls onto the box are something else.

Looked like a deflection on that one.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Easy

 

[sneakysnail]

and a proper goal

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Trents played well defensively aswell imo but his balls onto the box are something else.

Looked like a deflection on that one.

If 4-4-2 was still a popular formation he'd be thought as highly as Beckam was imo.

 

[sneakysnail]

god I hate Burnley so much. So so dirty.

 

[Purdy]

Yeah nasty bunch, Dyche and Barnes are absolute stains on football
