[United Hobbit]

Evans is definitely one you couldn't accuse of tool downing

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

He is definitely not up to the pace of the league. Ugarte is definitely getting up to speed quicker, Zirkzee may just take longer.

Yeah, I like his passing but he needs to do more.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

My thoughts exactly.
They did the exact same thing when Jose was sacked and Ole came in.
Then they reverted to type and did the same thing to Ole....and then to ETH.

Tbf to the lads, they lost ETH's first match.

ETH did it to himself with his ineptitude.

No sympathy for him.

 

[saik]

Would love a goal from Wheatley now to top it off.

 

[spwd]

It is very nice to see Bayindir in the goal for a cup game. Not sure wtf was Erik's problem never playing him, but backup goalkeeper needs to play some minutes, it was really weird and not ok at all

Completely agree. Just another player he didn't like unfortunately.

 

[lex talionis]

Midfielders do the most work, but none of them have been subbed off yet despite the score being heavily in our favor for the entire second. Do we not have any midfielders on the bench today?

 

[Marcelinho87]

Just seen the score. What a bunch of absolute wankers. Get the manager sacked and start turning up. Tells you everything you need to know about this group of players.

Obviously wumming.

Who's they? Nearly an entirely different squad.

 

[CannibalSpectre]

Leicester are shite and we absolutely pumped Barnsley under ten hag like 3 weeks ago. Wait a minute until we play a semi decent side again.

Not to mention six in this Leicester side aren’t starters

 

[OutOfTowner]

Good news: our players are not as bad as they may make you believe, they can fecking good play football when they want to
Bad news:.... well, you all know it....

Fixed

 

[daveskimufc]

How are we stopping Palmer at the weekend?

 

[Dazzmondo]

People with the same bollocks of players suddenly choosing to perform once manager is gone ignoring that most of the players are completely different than under Ole, Jose or LVG

 

[Chipper]

Think he also said that Ruud was a Feyenoord youth coach and knows Zirkzee well from that? Ruud was a PSV youth coach

Didn't catch that. Being charitable he could know him fairly well in the sense that Zirkzee played against the PSV youth team he coached a few times I'd imagine. Would think he'd have been well known in as a future talent around Holland too at the time.

You're right about which teams they coached/played for though. Wrong from the comms if he said said that.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

I think zirkzee will come good

[Marcus]

It may be the drop in physical intensity of the in between games training which gives players more energy in the actual games. There has to be a balance. May not be the players putting in more effort for anyone but EtH. Anyway happy days

 

[Nogho]

So sweet watching a game without VAR!

 

[The Hilton]

Just seen the score. What a bunch of absolute wankers. Get the manager sacked and start turning up. Tells you everything you need to know about this group of players.

I don't think this is the case at all, Ten Hag clearly still had the dressing room, and today has been mostly more of the same but with better finishing, and it's worth mentioning we're playing against a Leicester reserve team who aren't that much better than the Barnsley team we battered earlier in the season.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

They have already fired Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho and Erik. It’s the same group.

That’s my point. Nothing will change.

The level of effort has been exactly the same. The difference has been a sensible structure across the pitch. The team shape has been radically more disciplined and sensible, and the instructions to players demonstrably more coherent, as evidenced by positioning on and off the ball.

Hilariously stupid take if one hasn’t even watched the game.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Maybe we could just rotate old ex-players to come in and manage for a few games for some nostalgia.

Sounds like a plan. Who should we have next? Ole?

 

[Samid]

OT booing Ruud

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Sounds like a plan. Who should we have next? Ole?

Evra.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

VAR check Casemerio red card , decision will be confirmed at Chelsea game

 

[DarkLord1984]

Sounds like a plan. Who should we have next? Ole?

Let's get Ole behind the wheel (again)

 

[RedIan]

A game you dont want to end.

 

[lex talionis]

Job done! Casemiro MOTM, solid play by most except Zirkzee, who was dreadful...but if he can gain fitness he can become a productive squad man.

 

[Stadjer]

They have already fired Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho and Erik. It’s the same group.

Are any Moyes and van Gaal players left? Rashford got he debut during LvG era and Evans was there. Who else?

 

[DarkLord1984]

Well done lads.

Yep. Today wasn’t totally different to how we’ve played all season. We just weren’t set up absolutely fecking terribly. Biggest thing to note was Casemiro not diving into a sliding tackle every 5 minutes.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

That was a fun watch

 

[spwd]

That’s my point. Nothing will change.

Hilarious.

 

[Mavs]

Sounds like a plan. Who should we have next? Ole?

Haha, I think we've run out of good vibes there unfortunately. I'd love to see Keane or Rooney on the touchline at some point even if just for one game.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Sounds like a plan. Who should we have next? Ole?

Carrick again?

 

[spwd]

OT booing Ruud

What? No chance, they're probably saying Ruuuuud.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Ruud is so smart.

 

[lysglimt]

Evans is definitely one you couldn't accuse of tool downing

There was a situation after 86 minuter where he rushed towards a striker - and just before getting there, he stopped and simply blocked him - instead of rushing out all the way and creating a freekick or a penalty. That is proper defending

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Can't stand that chant for some reason.

You're not alone. It's garbage

 

[RDCR07]

Ruud is so smart.

He is a sexy beast isn’t he?

 

[Josep Dowling]

ETH is undoubtedly the victim, right?

No the fans are.
