Was all at sea in the first 5 minutes but grew into the game and was good.I love Martial. Such an enigma. Doesn't speak English... has an air of almost aggressive arrogance about him. Love him.I feel like Herrera is the unsung hero of the Ole renaissance. Does all the right things, works so hard, he's becoming one of our most important players.
Poor at the start but really grew into it. Everyone's playing really well apart from Mata and Lukaku.How are we playing? Missing the game because of work
Cracking goals at least. Martial on form?
Mata and Lukaku are shite. Dalot plays like a young academy player.
RB, RW, and a squad striker are a must. Been telling folks here that our attack is weak. The first XI is good, though.Fingers crossed for an early third so we can get some players off, they've been late with some many of their tackles an injury is a definite possibility
Didnt he sign an extension?
Resting players is a necessary evil.
We're winning the game comfortably. What more do you want?
It was the premier league site.. It said 5 yellows.. I assumed they hadn't updated the table a minute after the booking so I said this would be his 6th.
Smalling has had less game time than Mata.. give him a break. It was a calculated risk to play him. So far it is working.Lots of huffing and puffing from Fulham but no real quality so far.
Mitrovic is decent.
I'm sure he doesPogba and Martial are so fantastic together. Those two with Rashford through the middle and a top quality new right winger will be a dream attack.Looking at that Martial goal, the Fulham CB has to take a yellow there against Martial, pulls his leg back and lets Martial walk through. Borderline red maybe in his mind but once he makes the initial mistake he has to commit to it.
What did he do?Good half. A few stray observations:
- People will criticise us for the first 10 minutes, but Fulham came flying out of the blocks and their front four pressed extremely high, which forced us to play long. Teams are going to do that against us every now and then to try and get an early goal, and there's no shame in playing it long a bit to break the press until things calm down.
- Pogba is world class, and probably the best player in the league right now.
- Starting Smalling was a good call, he's handled Mitrovic really well.
- Babel has been menacing and pinned back Dalot from getting forward regularly as a result. Unfortunately this does expose the fact that we're weaker down the right; the fact that Mata doesn't pose a threat in behind means there's sometimes a big disconnect between him and Dalot and too much is required of the latter.
- I'm increasingly convinced that Lukaku is simply better out wide than up front. When central he looks lethargic and lacking any movement. When running into the channels or picking the ball up near the touchline, he looks extremely dangerous.Hahahaha NBCs Kyle Martino visibly uncomfortable with our excellent form. feck you knobhead!
So he should learn the language and drop the arrogance, grow up a bit. Then we might have a consistent player.Why does he play? Why does Romelu Lukaku get to play? One of the greatest mysteries of this decade we will never know i'm afraid.
He can
Erm... did you not read ALL the sentences. "We don't need BOOM". It's not a moan. The point was that even without Rashford and Lingard we are strolling this.A slack half from us but the brilliance of Pogba and Martial has pulled us through.
Because Rashford will be starting against PSG next week.
Mata hasn't been that bad but his style of play doesn't suit Ole's counterattacking system. He simply doesn't have the pace to be effective.
Lukaku looks like a duck out of the water. He is the equivalent of a statue.Forgot Lukaku was playing!
He is incredible at the Buzzwire challenge too.Some weird people here.. looking for a reason to whine and complain.Lukaku had his hands out asking why the ball wasn't played across to him when the ball was in the net.
Because we have to rest Rashford before a big champions league game?
Yep, that's true.Play Lukaku through the right and Mata through the middle.
He speaks English. He's learning fast
Lukaku now not good enough as a squad player?
Funny that our attack is weak and yet we're two up without playing our first XI
Yep.
Link is working fine for me .
I think it was his 5th, but I just read that the counter is reset on January 1st so he should be good for Liverpool.
yeh, I was actually expecting that when I saw the line up.Mata gets tackled and loses the ball most of the time. He doesn't have the pace
We really don't.
Someone to play well on the right, yes, a #10/SS? no thanks.
