  1. Don't have one top centre back unfortunately for them. Otherwise they would have been right up there.

     

    Having said that it looks like every team might struggle to defend this season, so they could be in with a chance.

  2. Reckon Mourinho would be tempted to play Kane slightly deeper and behind him, with Bale & Son on the wings with Hojberg & Sissoko as a central two?

     

    Could see him do that at times, yes.

     

    Generally, they'll be thrilled to have someone they can use when Kane needs a rest, finally.

  3. It's better he doesn't say anything IMO, or just say the team needs to bounce back and do better.

     

    We were really bad against Man U and sat deep all game, so coming out and talking about shutting up shop was never going to be received well.

     

    It's painfully obvious we look so bad defensively because we cannot keep the ball and are not a threat going forward so the opposition can just push up against us and take pot shots at our goal all game.

     

    His quotes just emphasize that the team do not appear to be in any kind of mind state to rectify these issues if the prevailing thought is that we need to shut up shop.

     

    We're in major trouble.

  4. The reaction to his quotes on social media is absolutely embarrassing from our fan base. He’s right. The gaps, especially between the defence and midfield is absolutely massive at times. With the forward players we have we’d been way better suited to the low block, counter attacking system we had under Rafa.

     

    Whatever it is we’re doing doesn’t work. Whatever we were doing against Man U didn’t work. He’s also right, man for man they are way better that us and making it difficult for them and countering fast is exactly what they’ve struggled against in recent weeks.

     

    No. He's not right about anything.

     

    He's talking about how we started well, and how we played good for 70 mins.

     

    We didn't. We were open the whole game and they ultimately got 4 goals. Just because they ended up getting them a bit later on, doesn't mean they weren't carving us open throughout.

     

    His quotes are shocking and completely clueless.

  5. You can sit back and protect a 1-0 or 1-1 against a top team if you have a Head Coach who drills organisation into you.

     

    We sat back the whole game though and were awful at it, and they're talking as if that wasn't the case. It's terrifying.

     

    They're acting as though the last 3 goals came about because of something different we did. They didn't. We were getting pulverised all game.

     

    That’s my point. Lascelles is saying we should have sat back. That’s fine if you’ve got a top manager who drills into them what to do. With Bruce that’s ridiculous, he has no idea how to do that.

     

    Yeah. For sure.

     

    His idea of sitting back is even ridiculous. It's just having everyone camping out deep in our half.

     

    There's no plan whatsoever of what to do when we get the ball.

     

    We will go down this season.

  7. Froggy man :lol:

     

    Why are you wasting your time? They will never give him credit.

     

    They want him to fail and so they're just projecting. They are not interested in anything actually taking place with him and the team on the pitch.

     

    The guy is clearly doing well and since he's come in lots of players have improved and they look very dynamic going forward. Some better centre backs and it should be interesting.

  8. Great performance and result for OGS away from home.

     

    Don't be saying anything about Ole, sure he's shite. Absolute masterclass from him tonight. We should have won 4/5-1.

     

    The 3-5-2 then the Pogba sub and switch to the diamond did wonders.

     

    Lots to like from OGS. Some big decisions going with McTominay, Fred and even Tuanzebe, and they were all very very good.

     

    Switch in formation worked well too. Interesting to see if he ever uses that diamond more as it could get Van der Beek into the team with all your other better players.

  9. Fred's been class on Neymar

     

    Yeah, both he and McTominay have been fantastic really.

     

    Noticed Man U have switched to a diamond since Telles went off.

     

    Potentially a formation that could fit in Matic, Pogba, Van Der Beek and Fernandes at some point. With Martial and Rashford up front.

  10. Rashford can be so basic man.

     

    Costing us the game.

     

    So much pace and some decent movement to get into open space but so poor with releasing the ball at the right time, or actually getting the final ball right. Really frustrating player.

     

    It's really glaring against better teams/players.
