Has to be said, if Fred were signed by City or Chelsea he'd be on loan elsewhere this season.

We should have Bakayoko'd him.

Dalot is probably the best option for the RW that we have in our squad at the moment.

Couldn't agree more.

Haven't seen more than 10 minutes, but it's incredible how every team that plays against us, regardless of level, looks like it's better coached and has better player across the starting XI.

AZ are a very well coached team. Their football has been as good to watch as Ajax this season and they're only one point off Ajax in the league. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is some low level team.

Kostur · Oct 3, 2019

Playstyle wise it's honestly no different to Moyes times. Slow play to the wing, most of the time without a 1v1 with the defender and a hopeless cross to nobody.

Nah, I can't buy into that. He's been pretty poor when played there in the league.

We should be outplaying them in a carpark.

Andycoleno9 · Oct 3, 2019

We are joy to watch...

Shark · Oct 3, 2019

Our play is just so slow and static, as bad as anything Jose/LVG served up and worse.

Bwuk · Oct 3, 2019

This is very poor

The arrogance of those complaining about the pitch As if we're Barca.

It's even funnier when some fans are saying that AZ are used to it and we arent.

They dont actually realise this is 40 miles from their own home stadium and they play on grass too. :lol:

I wasn't aware. Thanks for that. Genuinely.

kouroux · Oct 3, 2019

Dalot should be our RW but I suppose it is too obvious

Yeah something like that.

AaronRedDevil · Oct 3, 2019

Ole should make a rule stating if they cross they take 40k out of their wages.

Tom Cato · Oct 3, 2019

Man so many AZ fans in this thread hating on our players. Infiltrators left and right.

It's not their own pitch.

So, he'll be sold to finance a new pitch in the summer then.

Hehe, nah. This isnt AZ their stadion though. Their roof fell down so they play in ADO den Haag their stadion. The roof was insured so AZ wont need the money to buy a new pitch or stadionroof.

They do need the money, their whole business model is to develop (young) players and sell them for big money (Eredivisie big money is very different than Manchester United big money). They are also really good at it.

Yep, but we will see Pereira there again on Sunday for reasons on ole knows.

redshaw · Oct 3, 2019

Doubt we'd get 5 million for Fred. Probably 2.75m euro to some Turkish team.

But they have been playing on it for a few weeks now so that is an advantage.

At least with LVG we did it on purpose :lol:

bleedred · Oct 3, 2019

They are playing better because they have better players. Hopefully after our rebuilding in 3 years we can compete well against the likes of AZ. We are not there yet.

Redplane · Oct 3, 2019

Just looked at all the teams playing today. Ffs we shouldn't even be in with most of this bunch.

A policeman.

In fairness, he had a good game vs Arsenal.

mitchmouse · Oct 3, 2019

watching mata is as sad as seeing an old but favourite relative sinking into senility

Sp00ks11 · Oct 3, 2019

We miss McSauce, Matic and Fred do nothing

An Italian loan I think.

They are better coached too.

i thought he was poor!

We'll get raped in the cl

I’d have him there rather than Lingard or Mata everyday of the week.

Wash your mouth.

Under Davey Moyes we beat Leverkusen 5-0 away and staged one of the greatest comebacks in European history against Olympiacos.

Jazz · Oct 3, 2019

Where's Romero? Sorry just got home.

Foxbatt · Oct 3, 2019

Feck Mata. Get him off for FFS.

Joeace2020 · Oct 3, 2019

Are we trying to bore them out?
