We can't keep writing off seasons.

Had Woodward backed Jose in Summer 2018, I honestly think that last season and this season, we'd have be top 2/top 3.
Woodward is penny pinching and the results are for all to see.

So Jose would have somehow had a personality transplant and done something he's never done his whole career?

We're not even attempting to counter, we're just dwelling on the ball and shit.

I meant more in general, not just today.

What a touch from Lingard. Lucky he got a freekick.

wolvored · Jan 1, 2020

No change at half time. WTF

mav_9me · Jan 1, 2020

How can anyone support Ole if he continues with Lingard?

BlahRules · Jan 1, 2020

Why do they keep saying they need to get Lingard Into the game when he should be getting in the game himself.

Josep Dowling · Jan 1, 2020

Rashford is having a mare as well. He’s been so sloppy.

Pyro19 · Jan 1, 2020

The only hope looks like an arsenal player taking lingard out of the game.

It's very clear that Arteta has coached (to some degree) the Man City/Pep blueprint into the Arsenal players. All the player movements, the channel and hole drop-backs, wing-rotation, wide players holding very wide. Someone here commented that Arsenal will eventually run out of steam, but I think it's more important to realise that Arsenal are only so effective in the press, and relentless, because they're keeping the ball much better and pressing from a much higher position on the field. It's infinitely less tiring to press in the final third and keep the team compact high up the field, than it is to press from the halfway line and find your forward line stretching the gap between itself and the midfield.

If anything, it's more likely that United will tire before Arsenal. It's harder to chase possession teams than it is to be a possession rushing to recover possession.

good post

Jesse Lingard wouldn't get in the women's team

Rio saying Ole will have given them a rocket. Casey Stoney would have done, their ears would still be ringing.

SirAnderson · Jan 1, 2020

Have I ever wished a player to be injured right now than I do Lingard...

Ole needs to understand this season is a right-off, please play the kids.

how can you call it a right off when we’re 5th and just a few points off top 4. The attitude of some of you lot is laughable.

golden_blunder · Jan 1, 2020

When I saw that arsenal were going for all their forwards together I knew we’d get beaten if they start the scoring first. We could be in for a spanking here. Very clear that our small squad needs an instant injection of new players

Yes they are. Except their defence. That's where we're better on paper at least. Aubameyang equal to or better than Rashford. Lacazette equal to or better than Martial. Ozil better than Lingard. Torreira equal to Fred. Xhaka better than Matic. They're more experienced on the whole too.

No they're not, stop making excuses.

Why didn’t these cnuts warm up at half time?

Drifter · Jan 1, 2020

Dixon saying ,why would Haaland go to United . He needs a big club like Dortmund as a stepping stone.

kouroux · Jan 1, 2020

Concussion protocol, take him off now please

DavidDeSchmikes · Jan 1, 2020

no energy

Inigo Montoya · Jan 1, 2020

I'm switching off.It's not as if I'm at the game.

Going to watch something else

Ole’s job is safe even if we get hammered. The bloke is like a fecking cockroach

He really is... but if he keeps beating the top six, I fear we'll never see the end of this.

Don't worry, I can't help but root for the team... but this is absolutely painful.

By your logic, Moyesy is a fecking genius as well?

Ah, Moyes...i would take him back today if it was possible.

Gasolin · Jan 1, 2020

Lingard should be subbed, Pereira is doing better at getting this ball and moving it up, please Ole, put our natural finisher Greenwood too and let us score some goals!

KennyBurner · Jan 1, 2020

We need to remove James and lingard now.

If that’s the case then Ole must have coached us to a world class standard when he took over as interim manager a year ago, Jose must have coached Spurs far better than Poch ever did when he took over and instantly started winning. David Moyes must be a world class coach at West Ham, yeah?

You make a fair point. I'm just genuinely worried Arteta will be a real success at Arsenal and they'll roar back to a top 4 finish while we languish mid-table

United Hobbit · Jan 1, 2020

I think what's annoying me most is despite his team leading at the end of the first half Arteta was out of his seat gesturing them on. Where was Ole?! Its reminding me of Moyes him sat slumped in his seat. Would Klopp or Pep be sat down if they were trailing like this?

Jonno · Jan 1, 2020

adexkola said:
It's not world class, but multiple times they got in behind our defensive line. They were not doing this under Emery.

I’ve seen Emery goals scored this way, I’ve seen Ole’s United score goals like this. It was a simple goal.

montpelier · Jan 1, 2020

I feel like we are a mid table team that has purple patches when the Oppo underrate our forwards. Full strength and fresh, we might be a bit better than that.

When it's not all like that we often look dreadful.

I'd continue to back the OGS project, but they need a midfield worthy of the name to make any progress.

Jazz · Jan 1, 2020

Just make changes now.

He will probably blame the number of games when it is the same for the other teams. He will say about injuries, ask Bournemouth about injuries.

Not so sure about that. Jose had a track record of cocking it up in his third season. Apart from Pogba, his transfer business for us was very poor. Giving him another 150m we might as well have shoveled into the furnace ourselves.

mu4c_20le · Jan 1, 2020

Still plenty of time for Arsenal to feck this up

GifLord · Jan 1, 2020

We absolutely suck at creating chances

Back a project that has Lingard starting alright, we'll get far with that

hobbers · Jan 1, 2020

In before we dont even see a sub until after 60 minutes..... Probably send Greenwood on in the 77th minute as fecking usual. Clueless.

SirAnderson · Jan 1, 2020

If we don't score by the 65th minute we can forget drawing or winning this. Notice: Only for the optimists in here.

mariachi-19 · Jan 1, 2020

just shit players. You can’t get around it. Lingard.. Matic... what the feck can ole do when this is the best in the squad at the moment
