It’s pretty hard to see anything other than relegation. I know teams have done it before in a similar/worse situation but we don’t have
the quality, confidence or the backing. It’s such a shame given what could have been when it looked like that Staveley takeover was happening.
Absolutely sick of losing now.
Think we’ll win 2-1. More hope than real expectation but I need that post game good feeling.
Kenedy with a goal and a bullshit Brighton penalty to make it a nervy end.
Random point but I thought Martial was absolutely quality in that second half. I’d love it if we had anyone even half as confident to run at people with the ball.
Even before that I thought he was nowhere near closing down players and it just spiralled further down after that free kick. I like him but to depend on him for 90 mins in every game is too much to expect and it’s another gaping flaw in our recruitment we didn’t get a proper replacement for Merino.
Thought Lascelles, Shelvey and Dubravka fought all the way for us there. Aside from them there was some truly abysmal second half performances: Ritchie, Atsu and Diame were terrible. We don’t even have an alternative to Diame.
I always prefer to be hopeful entering games but even with Man U looking absolute garbage I just can’t see us offering enough to trouble them. I’m desperate for that post-game winning feeling rather than being a miserable bastard all weekend.
