McManaman?
and yet the club keeps telling us Ole understands the club's DNA... mmmmReading comments about being embarrassed Ronaldo plays for us
Do you love the player or the club more ?
So was Ronaldo and Greenwood. Best goal of our seasonSo, turns out 3-5-2 isn't a magic wand that automatically makes our problems disappear. Until around Varane's sub, Atalanta had 61% possession and we looked utterly out of ideas...
Top class goal though, probably the best in the season so far. Absolutely brilliant play by Ronaldo, Greenwood, and Bruno.Would probably be leading at half time but for that Degea error. Other chances Atalanta have created have all come from unforced errors also.Bailly always comes clutch.
Ronaldo always comes clutch.
Great pass by Greenwood, great pass by Bruno.
Let's absolutely batter them in the 2nd half.
The phrase individual brilliance has lost ALL meaning oh here you can describe every single goal ever in that way if it fits the narrative you want.Second half should be fun.I’m not sure how unpopular an opinion it is, but that goal to me is an example of why I’d prefer a more attack minded manager than Conte when we replace Ole.Absolutely brilliant team goal. It's so rare for us to play one touch, quick passing football. The odd time we do, we're very dangerous.
Bailly is having a great game. Makes Ole's decision to play Maguire after one training session at Leicester even worse.
Well the Atalanta ball bounced off one of our players that caught everyone off guard and DDG made the worst decision possible.
Obviously this was all Pogba.Pogba has been dangerous in the final third. Just don't trust him to defendPogba will do something, maybe tonight, that makes us think we need to keep him but those 45 minutes were as bad as it gets. That’s got to be a 0/10. He was basically playing for Atalanta.The state of you two. Are you even fans? We score a beautiful team goal and that’s your reaction haha
joyless cnutsVarane was holding us together and thankfully Bailly having one of his good days so far. Again, one brilliant pattern of play saved us, second half will be very tricky.
Well apparently his team mates with France were pretty unhappy with him after they got knocked out of the Euros - remember that free kick and then the audition for Strictly Come Dancing 2021, but he had forgotten, the match wasn't yet won. Prima donna, not Maradona - shameful.Pogba hogging the ball again....
Once he finally releases the ball from his feet, three one touches by Bruno - Mason - Bruno - Ronaldo = goal.
And to be more pissed - we have a player used to one touch football rotting on the bench while Paul "i'm leaving for free again" Pogba plays.
Mind. Blown.Bailly looking good. Hope there’s no brain fart coming in the 2nd half. Would love to see him and Varane and Lindelof.
Haul off Pogba please and get VDB in the starting XI.
Get Cavani on for Rashford if this stays like this for 65 mins
Exactly. No consistency with this team and that is down to the coaching/management.Bozza calling out shit pundits
Obviously trying to see how it feels like playing for an italian teamThe Cafe'll pick up once we concede again.
I think loads of us want fluid attacking football and a manager known for that. The players are capable of it, just needs the right coaching and structure.
I think it's a mentality thing for us, like we naturally go on the back foot with 5 at the back. I think playing with 3 actual CB's is a mistake though, I would play Shaw LCB and Telles LWB, because I feel you need that player who can break from defence and be creative. Shaw would be brilliant in that role I feel. Think back to his role in Ronaldo's second vs Newcastle, I'm thinking that kind of channel for him in the LCB position.
Atalanta play 5 at the back for example, and they play attacking an entertaining football. We either seem to play 424 gung-ho, or 5 at the back park the bus stuff. In truth, it should be possible to play a balanced game where you are solid at the back and carry an attacking threat with either.
Without a doubt but he wasn't responsible for the goal. He was bad but like I said, no need to create fictionPogba playing as if he is surprised to be on the pitch because of his suspension in the premier league.
Absolutely. Moments FC on display again. Ronaldo out. Ole out. Fernandes out. Portugal has never done anything for this club. Norway isn't even in the EU.
Scuffed Ronaldo shot after Fernandes accidentally misses the ball and we're expected to celebrate ?
You're not fooling anyone Ole.Cavani will score if he comes on
His commitment and mentality (and ability of course) is absolutely phenomenal. Cavani is the same. Wish we could bottle their winning mentalities and impart it into the likes of certain others...
Imagine this team under a world class manager....
Imagine if Ronaldo stayed here his whole career wonder how many more trophies we'd have....
Must be a camera or something. Somebody taking stills?I was looking round the living room at one point thinking it was some kind of alarm
I often hear shutters going crazy near the microphones too.I thought Maguire and Pogba have been really sloppy and caused us problems.
Also, it doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that we’ve abandoned the shape in the first half after the Varane injury. It just feels like we’re winging it a bit.
Fantastic goal though.
I'd put that down as a brilliant team goal...not to say the manager isn't a bit clueless, but I wouldn't be basing it on that goal!Was Varane injury prone at Madrid? Looking like we bought a crock at this point.
That defender that got Bruno'd
This. Get pogba off ASAP. Matic i think.
He was one of the best players of the tournament til the Switzerland match in which he scored a cracker. He was at fault for the equaliser but still that Pogba is miles above this onePogba nearly lost the ball twice in the build up to the goal by dicking around as he usually does. His main goal for us is to look like a lorry turning around every chance he gets batting off flies on the windscreen and it fecks us up when he usually loses the ball.
Want him gone now sick of it.A bit "what if" but I cant help but think that Cavani would have pounced on that ball from McTominay that hit the post early on, Rashford seemed to stand still and just wait for it to go in
And he is more and more involved in the game play of the team ! What an amazing player.- Status
