No his passes lately have always been either a little too slow or a little behind. Really annoying vs Newcastle in particular. And he can hold the ball? What on earth have you been watching?
I get hes a cafe favourite, but that's my opinion.
This. Bloody hell we on all that money as well.These players have very little chemistry going between them
Agree. He tends to be sloppy too often thoughI really find it weird when players scream and shout when they commit an obvious foul.
I dunno. His kicking has been OK but aren't we supposed to be playing out from the back? Darmian's been decent. Made a nice run and pass a while back. Pereira has been really poor.Positionally Pereira is all over the place, but boy he has a very good touch and eye for a pass.
I dont think he has a long term future here to be honest. He is below Martial, Rashford, Lingard in the pecking order as it is. Cant see him picking up his form. Lost his speedI think in hindsight there are too many changes and we look disjointed from back to front... but it is all about winning and we are. They may get better as the game goes on and there is a better understanding. Remember these players have not played together.
It's very worrying. I was hoping he'd find some form once Mourinho left, but early signs aren't promising at all
Yes I agree.
We've been more dangerous in front of goal and created more though.
It's a very disjointed team so I didn't expect a great performance yeah. Didn't think we'd be this bad though.
Think it shows we have a lot of deadwood at the club.
Brutal, but you are not too far wrong.I hope Ole gives them the hair dryer with this fecking lifeless performance.I got so engrossed in a manga that I forgot that time existed. How've been playing?This is like an audition for the transfer list..Sanchez should in an ideal world be fecked off in the summer, but we really shat the bed with his wages. He’s here for the full 4 years.Lukaku is a waste of space. McT will never make it.
Alexis is coming back from injury so it’s understandable that he’s rusty.
Andreas and Fred playing ok but it’s hard when Lukaku can’t control dust.
no takers thoughIt’s probably the worst XI we’ve fielded in years. I don’t know why people are shocked.Are all Portugese miserable or is it just football managers?I'm a bit worried with Fred's inability to control the ball, he seems to have a heavy touch more often than not.Ashley Young has been pretty poor.Have we ever tried Darmian in the center? I know it's only Reading, but he's been decent.I expect to see the usual excuses for Pereira, but he’s once again looked far from good enough. Even with it not being his best position, still not done well. Why he keeps being played as a 6 I don’t know.
Yea, he's weird. Looks more like a very raw 22 year old starlet without the basics than an established 25 year old.Hopefully we get to ht 1-0 and ole can sort us out.
Because this has been poor.
Sanchez has not had a chance in the current Ole climate where he will get licence to play his football. This is not the game to judge him on. He is better when there are players on the same wavelength around him... and he is only just making his return after injury.Other than the goal, it’s been a very flat Mourinho type of performance.Poor so far, should still have more than enough for this Reading side but a bit of a come down after the last few gamesRom again with his pointing and directing
Feck sakes44 min
Harriott gets a shot away after Pereira gets bundled off the ball on the edge of the box. Straight at Romero.
They've been the better side since going behind.Young is always making stupid foulsSuch a lack of quality of depth in this team.Ok so a change of manager and Lukaku still cant control and dribble the ball, Sanchez is still rank and Ashley Young is still c8apThat Reading player just bulldozed Pereira.Will be interesting to see Chong in front of Dalot once we've seen this lot off in the third quarter
More Mourinho players than one would like to see.- Status
