[NJM78]

Chelsea definitely have better second string players than us, this much is clear.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Romero is better than what De Gea has produced today. You have to wonder.

 

[Amarsdd]

We've played Chelsea away, City away, City at home, Spurs away.

They don't count. It only counts when we lose.

 

[AJ Bullet]

Walking through our defense at will. Terrible from start to finish, clearly we never gave a damn about this game, at least I hope not otherwise we have bigger problems than I thought if this is us trying to win a semi-final.

 

[bosnian_red]

Who have we played in this "run" exactly? First good team and tactically exposed

feck off. We have a great big game record. We beat Chelsea 3 times this season. It literally never happens that a team wins 4/4 between 2 big teams. They were due a result against us.

 

[glazed]

Bruno tired sure, but the rest are fine.

This is the problem. Our big talisman looks knackered and has for a couple of weeks. We have two absolutely crucial games coming up. Resting him was a no brainer.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Explain to me Ole brand of football?

Quick interchanging football in and around the box. A medium press and high intensity from the front three. Key passes between the lines from the #10. Quick and decisive on the counter.

This has been coming due to the lack of squad depth. Every player looks shattered. Chelsea out for revenge and had extra two days rest. It was always gonna happen.

 

[The Real Treble 99]

FT Chelsea 3-1 Utd. Garbage starting line up from Ole with horrendous football all round & absolutely calamitous keeping from DDG. Plan completely backfired because we had to bring on rested players anyway.

 

[lex talionis]

I’m looking forward to the inquest.

 

[Knux]

I'm afraid you mark keepers on the mistakes they made - and he has cost us a lot of points in the past two years

Yes. But he’s still a club legend with over 400 games and 2 POTY awards and should be treated with respect.
but you’re probably right, maybe its time to move on.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Do you own a TV ? Have you watched our games and how well we’ve played and attacking we’ve been.

We’ve been outstanding since the restart in particular.

Give it a rest. It’s one loss in 20 and the league position is more important.

Think the change of formation and personnel as you said have not helped, but also some of these players have been constantly fouled in games and are likely carrying knocks and are exhausted. Holding on to players for years who offer nothing to this team is not great either.

 

[Irrational.]

The difference between the two teams was DDG and 48 hours.

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

And within that 21: a stamp on the foot, a hoof in the bollocks, a headbutt in mid air, raking the studs down the Achilles.

It's such a joke...and they don't ever do anything about it.

I really want Ole to call it out in his post match interview. If Dean were a player the pundits would be killing him for his performance, but officials never get called out when they have a terrible outing... and they do so regularly.

 

[Squeaky Bumtime]

Knives out.

 

[DevilRed]

Williams looks fecked out there.

Silly management from OGS.

TFM should have started. Romero should have started.

 

[Relevated]

Well thats because we've already beaten all the other "good" teams like citeh and chelski TWICE in the league.

We've had plenty of good results against the top 6. Its the ones against the "inferior" competition that we have been poor. Especially away from home.

Today was always going to be difficult. OGS is forced to make changes because our players desperately need rest. Injuries have also played their part today. I'm sure Shaw would have made a difference as would Bailly.

Don't bother mate. No matter who we play, the game we lose ill always be the 'first good team we played'. You can't win with these people.

 

[mattunited1978]

Thank feck thats over...awful

 

[Number32]

Hasenhuttl and Southampton showed the way last week against us. They did the exact same thing. Cynical foul after cynical foul and the officials doing nothing about it.

Matic is not the right man to face the high pressing opponent. Should start McTominay again instead of him.

 

[Siorac]

Who have we played in this "run" exactly? First good team and tactically exposed

We deservedly beat City in this run though. Also Chelsea away.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Awful stuff

 

[RedPed]

The Ole Outers will be puffing their chests out tonight.

 

[DevilRed]

You’re expectations must be low. His been simply okay.

As a squad player what do you want?

The second coming of Cafu?

 

[el3mel]

feck off. We have a great big game record. We beat Chelsea 3 times this season. It literally never happens that a team wins 4/4 between 2 big teams. They were due a result against us.

Is this allowed to be said here these days ? I remember seeing several posters getting warned for it. Nothing against you by the way but I'm just asking.

 

[JustinC00]

Who have we played in this "run" exactly? First good team and tactically exposed

beat Chelsea & City

 

[Resch]

How do we plan to get the ball forward? Do a little bit of pressing and we do not know how to get the ball forward.....
P.S.: de Gea is a nightmare......

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Absolutely abysmal all round

 

[BlahRules]

Williams looks fecked out there.

Silly management from OGS.

TFM should have started. Romero should have started.

And Ighalo. It was pure stupidness.

 

[OldTrevil]

Imagine we gave the armband to someone who hasn’t won anything in his career. Let alone the fact he had only been at the club 6months.

Yea still a baffling decision to this day, it set no standard for the captaincy

 

[Icemav]

They have been brilliant today. He deserves it.

He really got in to DDG's head. Genius manager. Also magically got his players looking much fresher. Pioneering fitness.

Just bants. He set them up well and we played pretty badly excluding DDG not liking football anymore.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Chelsea better placed than us given their upcoming recruitment.

They are in a way yes. That is why CL football will be vital for us.

 

[ha_rooney]

Poor goals to concede. Lindelof on the first, De Gea horrible on the second & all over the place with the 3rd.

The tactics were poor & the formation choice odd. Horrible performance.

Hopefully we forget this quickly & move on to the next 2 games. Just hope they’re not too tired for the games.

 

[Jazz]

Bullshit One loss in 20 , OK it was a horrible loss, but 1 loss in 20

Agreed.

 

[Rhyme Animal]

Play out from the back. Counter attacking. Wing play.


Now you will say that's too general. It's EVIDENT he allows his players to express themselves without implementing strict tactics on them. For this to succeed he needs good players.

And he has them. Very good players.

He now needs to COACH them, and manage their fitness.

 

[bosnian_red]

Is this allowed to be said here these days ? I remember seeing several posters getting warned for it. Nothing against you by the way but I'm just asking.

To say feck off? I'd hope so

 

[DevilRed]

And Ighalo. It was pure stupidness.

Igahlo was a strange one too.

He looked so sharp before the break. Still looks great and makes the right runs, holds up the ball well.

OGS needs to trust his squad a bit more.

 

[Deery]

Gary Lineker’s jokes are fecking shite..

 

[Suv666]

Should have rested our players. Bruno looks knackered.

 

[One Night Only]

Ah all you hindsight warriors

 

[RedSky]

feckin De Gea, abysmal again today. Time for Henderson to challenge next season. He's been in shite form for a good 12 months now.

 

[ReallyUSA]

feck the FA Cup tbh. They gavethe guy 2 days less rest. Let the Londoners have fun in the final, we have to secure top 4. Also we can win the Europa too. Still ab opportunity for a trophy.
