Wilson is injured again, no way are Newcastle getting anything in that gameThink Matic & Mata shown theyre completely done at this level.
Tuanzabe seemed to have a very good game, a couple of moments on the ball were ropey but did well defensively.
Other than that I thought it was a good run our for a few players. Never want to drop points but this was probably the best scenario in which to do so. If we win on Thursday it will have been worth it.
He reckons Pep is the best manager the prem has had.
I mean he wasn't good, but there was at least that period in the second half after we scored where he looked okay.
Rashford literally came on, was poor for their goal, and then just continued to give the ball away after that.Jesus Christ Savage is brain dead
Because it was a huge win for Leicester & a loss would have meant no Champions League.
Glorifying Pep & saying he’s the best manager ever in PL era & if they win the CL, greatest ever. Even Lescott is saying Sir Alex’s longevity gives him the edge.Leicester is a shitty team. I cant believe how they ended up in the top 4 race.
Doesn't matter if he's a dutch international, the man is a mediocre player. Go in the market and sign a proper Bruno replacement. There's one at Spurs just waiting to be signed.
Is he drunk or is he always like this?Too bad. It was somewhat expected but still was hoping for a lucky draw. Can't say Leicster didn't deserve to win.
He’s a feckin idiot to be fair.
The other pundits were taking the p*as out of him at half time for his nonsense.
You’re welcome pumpkin
When he was challenged all he had to say was 'something something false 9 something'
Since the start of April they've beaten West Ham, Burnley and Leicester. They've also drew with Spurs and Liverpool too so they're in decent form.
The only games which Wilson has started in that time is a loss to Arsenal and the Leicester game at the weekendI'm actually quite gutted about that game. Liverpool is hardly an easy game next even with our full strength team. 5 losses at home in 17 isn’t great either. Don't want to be going into a European final in bad form.
Our squad needs a serious injection in quality mind if we are ever to win the league and CL again anytime soon.
Bless.
You can't expect the likes of Bruno, Pogba and Shaw to start three big games in the space of 5 days. Not excessive at all in my opinion. There was no alternative. That game could have quite easily have been a draw so it's not like it was the wrong decision.
True, but you've two more difficult games left and will be against sides who will be trying far harder to win and won't be playing their reserves
Exactly. We will look foolish otherwise. Leicester are still capable of going to Chelsea next midweek and losing.Again Ole’s substitutions very questionable
We looked worse after they came on, the team was clear as day struggling in Midfield and he brought on Cavani and Rashford ?
Donny and Mata played a 2/10 match and stayed until the end,
He should have took Donny, Mata and Elanga off for Pogba, Bruno and Scott and we won that game.
Maybe that was the plan, players get a run out, some prove they shouldn't be getting a run out, screw over the scousers. That said it will mean nothing if we do not beat Liverpool on Thursday.Robbie Savage is such a disgusting scrote. Also, Lescott should really know Fergie was the manager for 26 years. He's a paid pundit ffs
I agree 100%. I was just responding to the comments about them celebrating.
always like this. but the commentator was faping over Leicester and City's trophy during the hole match.
Yeah that was that gimp, Chris Sutton.
Well that’s it, it will taste extremely sweet and I think will genuinely send the dippers into overdrive if we drop points here and then go and play them off the park on Thursday and bang that final nail in the coffin for there chances of UCL next season
I didn’t say those players names though.
What I’m saying is we could have spread the rest through the four games, rather than resting our entire defence, midfield and attack (apart from Greenwood.)
Look at the starting lineup. Was it only Greenwood who played in the previous game?
That’s a bit OTT. And like I say I’m usually defensive of Ole’s approach but I thought it was a bit odd tonight.
Perhaps losing here with a weakened team and fielding a full strength team against Liverpool is something he’s happy to do in the circumstances (with top four sealed and Liverpool struggling for that.)
I think everyone dislikes Sutton.
When Rodgers joined us, he alienated the Leicester fan base by stating that we were a step down and that Celtic reserves were bigger than Leicester.
Well you didn't say any names so I just assumed you'd be referring to our most important and influential players. Who did you want to see starting if not them three, then?
Why spread rotation across the 4 games, though? We had a European semi on Thursday which we lost despite putting out a full strength team, a game on Sunday away to Villa that was a must win to secure top 4, the game tonight which had reduced relevance given we beat Villa 2 days ago and then Liverpool in 2 days time which is absolutely massive for obvious reasons. I wanted players rested against Roma but as it turns out they gave us a game and it could have been even hairier had we fielded a significantly weakened side. We're into the EL final, top 4 and potentially second place is sewn up and we can field a full strength team against our arch rivals, all in the space of 8 days. Going 75% full strength in all of the games would have been extremely risky and we could have easily have gone out of the EL, potentially dropped points to Villa and then faced Leicester and Liverpool needing to win both games urgently. Ole has taken the right course of action, absolutely no question in my opinion.
I thought Matic was excellent - a clear 8 in the first half, if no more than a 6 in the second.
Seems the general consensus.
Can't see how a CDM that gave away the ball conversing chances in dangerous areas, poor for both goals, and dreadful for the Ihaenacho chance can have had a good game in any way.
At least Leicester have a good chance to be in the CL.Hehe, something out of the ordinary. Pity with the result, but what could you expect. Plenty of observations to make though:
- Leicester mostly pretty tame, and seemed low on confidence. No way would they have held on to that lead if they had to do it for much longer than 20 minutes. with how they struggled against our second string, and how they looked overwhelmed as soon as we put three regulars on, you come away from the game feeling we actually showed today we are the better team.
- Another good one by De Gea. Didn't put a foot wrong, and a couple of good saves.
- Really wobbly start by Telles, but it looked like he gained in confidence as the game went on. That's a useful plus.
- I thought Bailly was horrible in the first half, not very visible in the second (which is fine for a CB). That's two weak perfomances in a row from him.
- Tuanzebe: Lots of positives, lots of negatives. Must shoulder much of the blame for the first goal, headlessly pushing out when Telles was already pressing high. But also some key interventions in both halves, and likewise seemed to gain in confidence
- Really not a good game by Williams, who seems unable to execute safe passing with reasonable regularity and was often badly placed defensively
- Matic imperious in the first half, where he really held it all together. but anonymous in the second
- DvB didn't exactly play himself into consideration for the no 8 role. Such a lot of imprecise passing, precious little creative impact
- Elanga looked overmatched on this level. Too earlu for him
- Mata had some brilliant stuff after the big guns came on, and delivered the key pass for the attack that led to Greenwood's goal, but otherwise a bit out of depth
- Still like what I'm seeing from Diallo - coming along very nicely indeed
- Felt like we saw Greenwood at a new level today - not just playing well, but looking every bit the seasoned star out there, and looked like he was comfortable being the main man and shouldering the burden. Great to see.
Yep SAF had such a cushty seat when he joined United, coming off the back of multiple title wins and with a blank chequebook...
Relax. They played two days ago and have another match in two days. The players are not super human. As far as I am concerned, they lost three in fifteen at home. These two are not two I am looking to use as an evaluation marker on their home form. They've virtually locked second place and the main aim to is to be ready for the Europa League final.
Come on, you guys are willfully deluded if you think the last two team selections are the same if the Leicester and Liverpool games were played in reverse order.
It is small-time and petty, opportunistic and done because it is Liverpool. If Solskjaer had given up on the league which tonight's team suggests then he should have rested against Villa who have nothing to play for, that is what would have been in the best interests of the integrity of the league. He didn't and done so again because it is Liverpool. He'd have done the same if it was City and probably nobody else.
As @Dave Smith says Chelsea stand to benefit from this as it gives a better chance of you lot taking points off Liverpool but I can remove my bias from the situation and still think it is wrong.
Honestly don't know who you guys are trying to fool, to be honest thought you'd all just be laughing at the fact you've possibly got one over Liverpool not denying that you've done it.
Liverpool have a hand in this too by the way, whoever from their side agreed to play the game on Thursday needs sacking because you could see this scenario coming a mile off.Why aren't these threads closed when the post match threads are opened?- Status
