Utter shit. Better buck our ideas up second half.
Kind of irrelevant. Hitting a free kick into the danger area is something all our players should do
By his standards he’s been shitWe’re back to the style where it’s boring watching us play, it’s becoming a chore. After the covid-break we were great fun again for a few weeks, then back to tumescent, slow and crap football. We should never play so shit with so many good players. No way in hell we play this badly with a better manager in charge.What’s this fella on nbcsn on about? If Henderson or Alisson were in goal he wouldn’t have chipped it? Why not? Highly doubt they would save that.If our ownership had an ounce of ambition for the team fighting for honours, they would never accept this pitiful showing by Ole. He was taken on as a stop gap and that is precisely what he is. Cause and effect folks...unless we are bottom of PL by Dec, nothing changes!Ole needs to do something in the second half which will allow us to get control of the game. Maybe a diamond?
Agreed. Not enjoyable at allThe issue is that when we do finally get the ball out of defense (this is very difficult) we push it too Pogba and Bruno and they have 4-6 Brighton players surrounding them. They can't pass it to anyone as they're surrounded so they're forced to take players on. Their forward line and midfield are playing very narrow and swamping Pogba/Bruno. It's clever tactics as it's suffocated us.
Change of formation required or we continue playing into Brightons hands and hope they get tired.
This.
I think Pogba is no where near ready.
I wanted VDB for Pogba with Bruno dropping deeper and VDB at 10 at half time, but now I fear Bruno could be sent off soon.
Shamefull approach and lack of aggression overall.If Juve offered us De Ligt in a swap deal for Pogba, I'd snap their hand off.We are getting back into this. This Brighton team has a poor record at home and that goal boosted our confidence. Brighton will crumble next half and we will get them on counter.
what does it mean? ole isn't a good coach? it is repeated so widely on the forum and so literally I have been wondering for the last few weeks what people are suggesting, they always say 'we havent been coached' rather than the coaching is badBruno to score the winner and do the crying celebration please!
8 months unbeaten run! Sounds much better than what it really was: a 14-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
They've BOTH been poor but yet all im seeing is comments about Pogba, Bruno already on a yellow card and given away a pen but Pogba is the worst player apparently.
Zidane chipped it against Buffon in World Cup final. Agenda against David has reached staggering level.
Credit to Ole for setting the team up right with Bruno. Doesn't mean he is still doing a great job now. These 2 games they look like they are playing together for the first time. Can you tell me why we are not pressing and why we can't seem to play at all against Brighton?
We should've got rid of him last season around xmas. The post covid run was nothing but a red herring
If you have better individual players than most, why not? Watching the league, it can't really be too debatable that we're poorly coached, without prejudice to other aspects of the game. We routinely play teams with worse players man for man yet they play more cohesively.
The disallowed goal should have done that. It didn’t and we shrank back into our shell.
I love this football professor!Christ I thought they had let a homeless man talk on the half time show then I realised it was Tim Sherwood. Holy moly, how was he a top flight manager, you can't understand a word he says.I suppose the one positive is we equalised quickly but amused that McMannaman thinks we will improve in second half. Don't see what evidence he has for that; certainly not last week's shiteshow
Not the player quality that makes us look so poor. We look uninterested at times, unmotivated, unorganised, afraid?
Pogba and Bruno have been the 2 worst players on the pitch though, for us. Brunos been the worst for sure IMO but Pogba absolutely deserves criticism, because its a regular occurrence for him not having an impact.
They prob prefer a player who takes back possession over someone who gives it awayThe players have disappointed but Ole projects the air of a broken man. But that’s for another thread.
For now, bring on Donny for Bruno.
Should, but I doubt any of them can. Not sure who even takes that if Bruno isn't on the pitch. Possibly Pogba or we pass it around aimlessly.
The defensive midfield have been horrible today.
He’s set the team up wrong again. He’s literally Making the same fecking mistake over and over and over again. His 4231 formation needs to be burnt at the stake!Southampton really did a number on us with the 2-2 a few months ago. We’ve never recovered.
Yep, absolutely joyless
Yeah there is no doubt you can make a case for a signing in maybe five positions
LB,
DM,
RW,
CB,
ST,
He does play like he doesn’t want to be here which is a shame
Really? I don't remember a single mistake from him in that first half, very good in position and tackling.
Probably because De Gea is so terrible on pens strikers feel ultra confident against him.There's no urgency or pqce.
Ole actually made a sub at half time vs Crystal Palace let's hope he does the same with Donny for Pogba or Bruno maybe
Someone's getting sent off at this rateZero identity out there, we are so defensively passive all over the pitch. A counter attack team that doesn’t know how to press/defend, what could go wrong?- Status
