Mole_Toonfan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Lukaku is struggling for the same reason everyone else is, if the team as a whole is negative what do you expect your striker to do. Funnily enough that very reason can't be used for our Striker. In fairness to Lukaku though at least he has a history of scoring goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Man Utd are gash, what the hell has happened to Mourinho? I think he could do with a year or two out of the game, he's looking a busted flush and his team are bang average considering they are meant to be a genuine title challenger. His teams have scored 1 goal in last 10 away from home against 'big 6'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Something is wrong like, Crystal Palace and all of their good players are still bottom after their ‘easier games’. They are actually further away from safety than they were before their ‘easier games’ Must be Roy Hodgson’s tactical masterclass. Who's that 'easier games' quote attributable to? It's the exact opposite, so I dunno if you've just got mixed up. Hodgson's opening fixtures were Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham and Spurs. So in no way easier at all. Newcastle, West Ham and Bristol City. 1 point and a cup exit. They’ve still got more ‘easier games’ coming up, but they are never getting out of this - not with that muppet in charge. They beat Chelsea as well and drew with West Ham. The cup's meaningless. In the league they're doing better than they were beforehand and have done it against better teams - the opposite of what you said. That's why I wondered whether you just got mixed up. I think Figures doesn't like Hodgson, despite his CV being better than most other managers out there His recent CV which consists of; failure His entire CV isn't great. He's won a Swiss Super Cup, and a cup and a league in Denmark. Hardly impressive. His job is survival with Crystal Palace though. That criticism was valid when he was at Liverpool and England, but his CV's fine for where he is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hodgson is a decent coach, but a bit past it in terms of the modern game. At least he went abroad to learn new ideas and cultures unlike most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced the cup is meaningless at all like - shall we not enter it next year then? Think getting convincingly beat by lower league opposition is poor no matter what. They may be playing better (which is a weird comparison, when they couldn’t really play much worse). But they are further from safety after playing West Ham at home, Newcastle and Spurs away (where Swansea and Burnley have managed points). Forget the cup, man. No point in talking about that considering the priorities and the team put out. Further away yeah, but because other teams have picked up points not because they've been worse. Not a chance they've had easier games either. There's still a good chance of them staying up imo. Swansea and West Ham certainly look worse at the moment and you'd think they're going to come into SOME form at some point. They’ve still only scored in 2 of the 7 games that Hodgson has been in charge of like That is 5 games without even scoring, De Boer only got 4 games in charge. Not sure how anyone can say that they have been better. They are further adrift from safety, out of a cup in embarrassing fashion to a lower league team and still don’t look like coming close to getting ‘in-form’.

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 With City you would expect it's more about how well they do in the CL now than winning the league, they are so far above everyone else in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Nowhere near enough the end of the season to say, but they're so much better than anyone else at the moment, possibly in Europe too. I think Spurs will present more of a challenge to them than Man United though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I can't see any of the other teams putting up the 90 odd points it will take to beat City to the title. If Spurs run deep in the CL they'll struggle to match the 86 points they got last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also 5 without scoring - unless I missed their goal against us. You could argue that Leicester have had an equally tough start, they’ve played similar level of teams and have 13 points.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I wouldn't even say City have the best 11, it's their style of play and how comfortable everyone is. Today Walker was playing CM, LW and CB at times. Silva operated all over and even Delph who looks a completely different player in this side. Sterling wasn't at his best today, but he's such a threat. KDB is immense, such a lovely player to watch on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
