Fair play, I stand correctedWTF was he on about m nothing wrong with Pogba's tackle.Well that was all a bit poor wasn't it? We should be on the front foot taking the game to Bristol, they're a whole league below us.
I like Mourinho, and I can even understand the way he sets up in the big matches to a certain extent.
But in matches like this we should be showing a bit of flair and excitement, go out and enjoy it not give them all the impetus.
How is hitting the post a shot on target?Bristol City players seem to have the tactic of blocking Romero taking quick kicks.
That's not really true.
Yeah because the post isn't the target.Bristol are playing well, btw.Watching Ibrahimovic has given me tetanus.
The feck are you watching? Martial has popped up everywhere for feck sake and whenever he’s had the ball he’s looked dangerous.
Was a straight red his studs were up yet again and he is lucky to get away with it
For sure, but for the purposes of stats, hitting the post is still technically off target.
Just one of many ways stats are often misleading.
Well that brand of zombie football was more out to the wings, back to Scholes, look for openings against two banks of four, rinse and repeat. Not this get-close-to-the-final-third-and-just-stand-around-waiting-for-the-ball-carrier-to-do-something stuff.
And true that he would have played the 'kids' but at the same time because of that the 'kids' they tended to be a bit more motivated.
He can get those quick throws/kicks out if he looks behind him first. Why are our defenders not blocking them out?
3 times they have run through him. I'm actually surprised the goal wasn't given. That wasn't a foul. He went to throw the ball, the attacker ran into the ball and Romero threw himself backwards to the floor. I respect Romero, he's an excellent player. But tonight he's having a bit of a howler.Great half by Bristol city, very impressed by their skill and positive approach.
Like Bournemouth they can pass a ball, be great if we could practice stringing a few passes together sometime.
A nickame can easily be found for him. "Thepostisnotthetarget"
Eh?
It was a foul. You can't interfere in any way with a keeper throwing or kicking out.
He got 28 goals last season. He won't accept anything less than goals. He is Zlatan.
Brace yourself!
Agree, was thinking the same. should be bossing teams like them. A bit annoyingHope we improve 2nd half.
Here we go
Yeah. And it's cold and dark, they travelled a long way and the plane was rerouted, and Bristol isn't a nice place anyway.
His studs were up. If he connects, its red. Or if Fellaini had done so, we'd all be on his case for being a clumsy arse.
This seems to a a recurring technique which he urgently needs to eradicate
Exactly smalling got booked for this a year or two ago and ended up getting sent of same game.
It's a bit silly, I remember years back it used to happen all the time. If the keeper has two hands firmly on the ball then yeah. But he's about to play the ball. Cheeky I know. But iv'e seen much worse "altercations" with the keeper and the goal has been given.
Who gives a shit? It's against the laws of the game to impede a keeper whole getting rid of the ball, an indirect free kick is given.
I'm well aware the implications of the injury, and I agree with you that it's unlikely he'll ever get back to the level he was at.
However, what I think is premature is to say he should retire at the end of the season. If he strings together 20 odd shite performances, well, maybe. But his first start? Too early.
Had he put away that chance at the back post, would you be calling for him to retire?My God get Rashford as far away from free kicks as possible.Why does Rashford think he's Ronaldo? Pogba and Zlatan have proven track records with freekicks, can we stop stroking Rashford's ego now?Those cnuts are getting away with a lot of roughhousing.
Did you read the laws yet since you wanted to talk about them?
Well if Romero keeps dishing out crap kicks and passes, and concedes a goal, I suspect a lot of people will "give a shit"Shot on target
Ronaldo hardly ever scores them either, so he's doing a pretty good imitation.Why does Rashford think he's Ronaldo? Pogba and Zlatan have proven track records with freekicks, can we stop stroking Rashford's ego now?
Rashford technically has been wank
