[Ronaldo's ego]

Our backups are straight up depressing.

Not far off the first team then

 

[MZX7]

Sell this entire starting 11 except VDB, Bailly, Lindelof and Henderson. So, 7 out of the 11.

 

[In Rainbows]

there is no passion
there is no, vision
there is no aggression
there is no, fecking mindset

 

[Dec9003]

McTominay is a caf darling who is not allowed to ever be criticized.

But he’s being criticised in this thread plenty? Rightfully so, him and Fred have been embarrassing.

 

[kouroux]

Is McT afraid of the ball ?

 

[48 hours]

I have seen better Sunday League games.

more exciting at the very least

 

[RedSky]

Williams and James say hi.

Williams getting far more of the ball than Dalot.

 

[Idxomer]

McTominay is napping again.

 

[Adamsk7]

Has anything really changed since he first arrived? He never had any pace to lose. He's still a good player, he just doesn't play as many games as he used to. I'd rather sell the likes of Pereira and Lingard, even at Mata's relatively old age.

Exactly because they can’t do anything that’s top quality. Mata can. I’d even prefer him to stay over someone like McTominay. Would I prefer a player that’s young and can run but can’t do anything especially well or would I rather an older player that still has some things that’s in the top 10% in the squad.

 

[Baxter]

Mctominay has to read that.

 

[Name Changed]

Dalot want he supposed to be the best full back from Portugal? God help them if that's the case.

I don't think so. I think he only played 5 games for Porto.

 

[Beachryan]

I like Fred. I like Williams. I want to like Dalot.

Some of their play this half has been worse than anything you'd see in lower parts of League One. The touches, the decision making, the 'control' leading to losing possession: it's embarrassing.

 

[Motorman]

This is one of the worst matches I've ever watched. So painful.

 

[Jules_T]

Mata made a tackle!

 

[hobbers]

5-6 of this team are championship standard. Not being harsh.

McTominay, Williams, Dalot, James, Ighalo all would not look out of place. None of them would even start for Leeds.

 

[Godfather]

Why am I still doing this to myself. Not a single guy out there for us that's even remotely exciting

 

[cj_sparky]

It’s a glorified pre season game for bench players on both teams

I know the majority of these players are a massive drop off from our first XI starters. But it's quite embarrassing the shift they aren't putting in.

 

[Drifter]

McTominay is a caf darling who is not allowed to ever be criticized.

He's also a SAF darling.

 

[FreakyJim]

it's like we hate playing football

 

[TsuWave]

Dan James is one of our worst transfers

 

[KristianMackle]

Wow this is depressing to watch. Brighton's second team is outplaying ours.

 

[Green_Red]

We've regressed to the LvG days. Havent seen this much sideways and backways passing for a long time.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

VDB must be frustrated as hell with this lot

 

[mu4c_20le]

5-6 of this team are championship standard. Not being harsh.

McTominay, Williams, Dalot, James, Ighalo all would not look out of place. None of them would even start for Leeds.

We're not city

 

[Zlatans Knee]

Like the pendulum on a grandfather clock. Slowly going side to side....tick......tick......tick

You forgot, side to side, lose ball they sprint forward and get a shot off. It is getting harder and harder to keep the faith.

 

[In Rainbows]

Seems like Williams has that same mistake in him every match these days. Makes a pass to the center where it's easily intercepted and the oppo gets a free counter

 

[Jeppers7]

Second strings so ok...but Brighton are definitely better coached than us.

 

[Adamsk7]

Has Dan James touched the ball?

 

[Idxomer]

Mata showing pace, I've seen it all.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

McTominay routinely gets slaughtered on here.

Really? I see defended all the time, with the pretend “he was great before lockdown” spewed out & any given opportunity.

 

[MZX7]

The commentator loves saying Alireza Jahanbakhsh.

Was going to post this...

 

[Smores]

What's the excuse going to be today? Is it still match fitness or is it that these lot are too poor for Ole to have playing well?

 

[Drifter]

Training pitch football at the moment.

 

[100]

Wow this is depressing to watch. Brighton's second team is outplaying ours.

What game are you watching?

 

[kouroux]

Wow Mata

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Shite. Yet again.

 

[poleglass red]

feck how slow is Dan Byrne, Mata outsprinted him

 

[Velvet Revolver]

what exactly is the coaching team doing in training?

 

[GifLord]

McT!

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Mata with Messi like dribbling
