    Same cloud looming over us. Why cant we just solve an issue or two out.

    It's the fecking parasite that are the Glazers. We have to sell to buy. Look at Chelsea. They need several positions sorted out. They go out and buy them all and then win the Champions League the same season.

    I don't know how people manage to blame specific players when no one has been good and the issue is clearly a collective one.

    Martial is clearly not doing enough either in attacking or in pressing or fighting for the ball. It's difficult for a team to impose itself away when one player is basically a passenger. None of the other 10 have been so poor. Really disappointed in this half by Martial, I had higher hopes for him. Maybe he justifies his place in the second half but at the moment he deserveys to sit on the bench as soon as any of Sancho or Cavani become fit enough to start.
     
    Matic breaks the complete flow of this team. Takes too much time and then plays a casual pass.. Fred I am ready to cut some slack for this half as he has been good. Matic is trainwrek everytime he plays..

    But I will take a goal from Matic from this corner

    No they're not.. If you move forward/towards with your leg it's a a forceful block and more likely to divert the ball further.

    If you just dangle a leg limply like that anything can happen.

    All our players seem to indulge in this half arsed blocking, facing our goal.

    It’s not an agenda when it is demonstrably true.
    I’m watching him stroll about, not pressing and not moving towards the ball to receive it.
    He is a handicap

    Incredible really. A striker makes two passes in a half for the team who had more of the game and criticising him is an agenda.
     
    No subs :lol:

    I’ll defend Ole more than most but it’s baffling how allergic he is to changing stuff.
     
    varane is on the bench googling taxi prices to southampton airport. wan-bissaka has offered to drive him there himself.

    I’m on the fence, Stephens has to wrap his leg around from behind/the side, making contact with Bruno’s left side/his back before touching the ball.

    As long as it’s consistent I don’t mind it not being a foul.

    I agree with that, but the ref had already set the tone when he penalised Bruno for nudging the ball off a Southampton player and catching his airborne leg in the process of getting the ball. Within that context, barging through the back of someone (and getting the ball) is a definite foul.
     
    Martial should start doing sprints goal to goal. Then we can point to his running stats at the end of the game and say how much passion and desire he showed and how unlucky he was.

    I’m really really surprised that the Matic-Fred combo and Martial are struggling massively against high intense pressure.
    I wish these things were known beforehand so we can plan better accordingly.

    Probably should try it 10-20 more times to be sure.

    I really think Ole is doing the right thing here. Keep faith with the players who have proven themselves over the last few seasons like Martial and Matic and let the new signings have a few months, maybe a year even to get used to the way the bench feels.

    Genuinely Lingard is a far better player than Martial.

    Yep, Why play your new signings, when you’ve got the consistently inconsistent donkeys to rely on?

    Gareth Southgate 2.0 in the making. What does Sancho need to do to get a game?
     
    oh what a shock no subs at HT for OGS, meanwhile Southampton have made a change to park the bus with 5 atb.
     
    The horror that is Ole’s in game management continues

    Can’t wait to see Sancho and McTominay on when we’re 2 down
     
    People saying Matic off......Fred has been absolutely shocking again, Martial has been loping about again, Fernandes has been inconsistent on the ball, Bissaka has been asleep half the time defensively. Only Shaw and Pogba have played well so far
     
    Of course he's not made a change

    If that's true about Martial only making 2 passes, that's pathetic he should have been subbed off

    Hope Pogba is ok

    He didn't dangle it limply. He was blocking it. Just because we conceded a goal doesn't mean you just make shit up.
