next week.Holy Jesus. This is horrible...Merry Christmas.We are hoofing it forward while Stoke play like Barca.
How times change.
But not so good that they're looking like we are playing Barca...
The scoreline, the performance, lock stock the fecking lot is what is shocking.Has a Premier League manager ever been sacked at half time?
Yeah I was thinking that. I doubt they would bring Mourinho in before the Chelsea game in case he gets beat. Pressure would be on him immediately.
I feel for him but maybe thats just me.
Agreed. Both goals came down to players on the field. But let's see how Man Utd does the rest of the game...How can we be losing with both Herrera and Mata starting? I thought those two were some world beaters and the reason for our dire play as of late was because they were not playing.Jesus and those fecking throglodyte neanderthals at Britannia.
This is so bad.
If Fergie was on the sidelines, I'd agree with you but this lot look really demoralised.Why did anyone expect any different?I expected a reaction today, sadly it's the same old story
Yep, the problem isn't the amount. It's the lack of continuity and strategy in that spend that's the problem. Buying players like Mata, Fellaini etc, without a proper plan on using them. Like you said, those mistakes are fast costing us in the long run.Where is the fight and spirit in our players? FFSMark Hughes >> LVG
Why did you expect a reaction?
Because our players no longer needed to eat muesli and toast?
Our tactics will remain the same and it doesnt help that our attackers are dire. I mean, if Memphis can get in your starting XI, you know you are in trouble.Could be 12 points behind first after today.
at least we played the best game of the season against you lot.Bobby looks well chuffedStoke showing us how to play attacking football. Disgraceful.
We are a terrible team, Barcelona could score a dozen of goals against us. And I'm not kidding.
I didn't. Check my posts. I got slated for it.Imagine if Jose walked into the stand behind Sir Bobby at half...
True, but Stoke are used to playing in these conditions. Not to mention they've beaten Man City and Chelsea already.
Regards, LVG's spokesperson.But... the players were allowed to eat on their own and skip toast the night before a game..
How could this happen?
If SAF still in charge I will agree with you
Did not see the white text lolhow long is LVG's contract?its a bit cruel for van Gaal, stoke are having a blinder but Carrick totally out of the game, basically only herrera press in midfield, when you want to play higher it needs to be syncedShocking the way a manager gets the boot but the players can play as bad as this and remain invulnerable.I'm never sure where Herrera's passes are going to go.The second we put Fellaini in, we only know how to kick the ball long.
They're all professional footballers, and they're all capable of producing a good strike when given a free shot on goal.When it clicks we can string two passes together.We're back to 50%.
Things are looking better.
