Bailly looks quite clumsy

Not at all. Been great on the ball. Just goes in hard, but fair.

Really like this new Man U centre back. He is uncompromising.

Wow ... that defender man

Hmmm ... Man U not looking to hot, but love the look of that defender they bought, Bailly. Looks quick, strong, comfortable on the ball and can pass it.

"If we had scored first today, we would have won" :lol:

Just saw his interview :lol:

 

He's the single best thing in football atm. Absolutely chuffed for the Palace fans. The excuses from goddam game one!

Actually painful to watch that

It's the same old rubbish. Knew 100% that he would use Bolasie as an excuse this week.

Ironically, I actually think playing Riviere, Gouffran and Saivet right now might well improve us!

Everyone is probably a bit down on football at the minute.

So ... enjoy

Really miss him by the sounds of it. Think he'll make a big difference.

Yes, I agree. Annoying that he's costing us already due to his lack of discipline. Really frustrating.

Man ... this is so sad. A good start would have been epic with all of the excitement that built up. Oh well.

Janmatt is f***ing a useless c***.

Let me guess caught out of position?

Oh man ... no way. This is not good at all.

I only hear Ayoze's name when the ball is being lost.

Losing faith in the guy.

Diame off why

 

Because he's done f*** all I suspect.

When did you become such a bitter negative man

Aarons and Perez worry me. We all feel they should tear this league up, but not sure it's going to happen. Need to get the striker and winger we are apparently after, because think those two will need to be part of the squad, and not guaranteed starters.

 

Why should Aarons tear the league up, he is untested bar 2-3 good games ?

That was the consensus from a lot of folks on here.

Pardew thrilling the masses with that tiki taka

Another good ball in by Janmaat

 

In reality Rafa should just switch him and Anita really.

Its easier to attack from right back. He should sub Anita and put on someone who can play someway attacking but that's not going to happen

That's the thing. Don't think Rafa will play an attacking player on that side with Janmaat, which is frustrating, but it's who he is.

Yes! Took a punt on Redmond in fantasy football when I heard he'd be played upfront. Happy it worked out for puel. Was getting slated by Merson and his cronies for playing him upfront before the match.

Aarons man. Looks like he cannot be trusted as a starter this season. Really need to get another wide man in.

 

If Janmaat staying means we'll have to play Anita wide to protect him, then Janmaat needs to bounce sharpish.

 

This is very disappointing, but Rafa will figure it out eventually. Just such a shame we couldn't have started the season better with all of the momentum we had built up.

Yes, Janmaat's the one of them that needs to f*** off

 

Penalty, down to good work from Janmaat

that's not what I said is it!

I was more talking about Rafa's determination to have Anita ahead of him, because he clearly seems to be intent on that, which isn't great. Rafa doesn't typically have his full backs pelting forward, so it's a concern.

Happy for Gayle. Massive that! He doesn't score that rebound man ...

Is Rafa playing this too safe?  Need to get at teams ffs.

Almost two hrs of championship football and still no goals.

Rafa needs to wise up and realise we should be playing 4-4-2 with no holding mids in this shithole league.

 

For goodness sake

People not allowed make some mild criticism like?

Aarons, Diame, Shelvey and Mbemba making their first starts. 17 mins into the second game. We can't even watch it to see how things are going. Just think a bit of calm is needed.
