it really is a shame that mad 5 minutes happened against City. If Wolves pick up these could get dragged into a relegation battle. 

I was expecting good things from them tactical Anorim is raved about boy was I wrong. 

 

It was a poor showing tactically, they sit in this weird midblock but they aren't compact. They don't apply any sort of cohesive pressure when they pressure. Awful basic stuff.

"If the fans of Manchester United are to correctly claim they're fans of a "big" club, their club needs to stop letting "small" clubs like Bournemouth piss all over them! People kept saying Newcastle United wasn't a "big" club for ages even though they sold out their 50k+ stadium week in, week out – it's a blatant double standard if we're to still consider Man Utd a big club just because they fill their stadium every other week. They're not a rich club anymore, they have no iconic players anymore, they don't challenge for honors anymore and it's not looking very likely they'll be able to challenge for any honors again in the near future. The Manchester United of today is a mediocre club, at best, and everyone needs to stop pretending otherwise. 

 

Last season, pretty much a year ago, Man Utd lost 0-3 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. They played 2-2 in the reverse, meaning Bournemouth took 4 out of 6 points from them last season. We as pundits are doing a great disservice to the other clubs in the league when we, for some reason, keep referring to Man Utd as favorites ahead of matches they have no right to be considered favorites for. Bournemouth came into this match unbeaten in four and the 4th highest team in the last 10 games form table. Their average point tally the past ten seasons is 68, which would've only seen them finish top four three times by the skin of their teeth in that time. This is not a "big" club. In the past ten seasons they've been an upper mid-table club that's turned into a mid-table club. It's time to face reality, they're not very good."

 

Love Norwegian pundits :aww:
