ljkeane Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sheffield United are all over Man United here. Ed Woodward clearly doesn’t want to pull trigger on sacking Solkjaer, probably because he’s convenient cover for Woodward’s own failings, but there can’t be much longer till he has to. Also Phil Jones is definitely getting sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Throwing Phil Jones in that XI is an even more weird tactical move taking into account that the relationship between him and OGS is (apparently) quite bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Man United are mediocre per usual but Sheff Utd have played legitimately really good. Awesome team pressing and that 2nd goal was especially nice.

Consigliere Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Eh, disappointed that we conceded in the 90th minute but also think we were fortunate to get a draw as Sheffield United were the better side. Three at the back doesn't work for us at all so that was tactical mistake by Solskjaer but considering we only had one fit midfielder (Fred), a draw is a decent enough result away to an in form side although the result doesn't much help our current predicament. We desperately need Pogba, McTominay and Matic to recover asap because we have absolutely fuck all cover in midfield which is our own fault for being so dumb as to think it would be okay going into the season where we would be competing in four competitions with only four 1st team midfielders.

Iskaral Pust Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 United aren’t playing well but they’re getting more goals now from sitting deep and counter-attacking. They’re so bad in defense and MF that their opponents actually come out and play against them instead of just parking the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Meh, but at least we're starting to see the young frontline start to gel some. Still desperately need a creative player behind them, like, I really hope when Pogba finally gets fit Ole sticks with Fred (or someone new) and McTominay as a pair and puts Pogba in front of them.

Consigliere Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 We've been decent defensively this season but today Solskjaer got it all wrong. Jones has, is and always will be a massive liability - he's mostly shit but then has a few good games and then gets injured again. He should never have been on the field and we should have just stuck with a back four. Also think he should have played a midfield three with Garner coming in since we had no other options but at least he's an actual midfielder - playing a #10 (Pereira) as a #8 in a three man midfield makes more sense than sticking him in a two man midfield and predictably he struggled a lot. Our defence looked a bit more assured in the 2nd half once we switched to a back four but then Solskjaer inexplicable switches to a back three again towards the end. The manager was the poorest of the lot today and we were lucky to escape with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE WOOOOOOON! WE'RE THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE WORLD! THE GALAXY! FUCK EVERYONE ELSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE! YEAH!! [removes insanely happy supporter drunk on victory hat] Anyway, this was Flamengo's second trophy, the first since 1981 (also in a November 23rd) when Zico was still captaining our team, and will probably face Liverpool in the World Club Championship in December (and also qualified for the sham tournament Fifa is trying to hold in 2021). Regarding the European games, haven't followed much today, but seems Emery and Valderde are still trying to get fired, and Liverpool still managing to try to lose points, but being unable to, so business as usual, I guess. In very related news, due to other results, Flamengo won this sunday the Brazilian league, which pretty much makes our weekend the greatest anyone ever had in the history of the sport.

Consigliere Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'd still stick with Williams though. He has a lot of work to do on the defensive side of his game but his attacking play this season has been much better than what either Young or Shaw have produced. With Wan Bissaka on the other side -- who is good defensively but not so good in attack -- it's important to have one fullback who can contribute going forward otherwise our attacking play becomes far too limited. This is why I really wanted us to sign Tierney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 They need to get a little more consistency in the finish, especially from Wesley, but that Connor Hourihane struggles to get into their first team says a lot about the quality of the midfield and forward line that Villa have assembled. Douglas Luiz is lowkey one of the best defensive/box-to-box midfielders in the league too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Genuinely impressive of Club Brugge to have two players sent off celebrating a goal - the scorer got a second yellow for taking his shirt off and his teammate for kicking the corner flag over.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yes. However, while Diatta's second yellow for taking off his shirt is black letter law, to send off Clinton for excessively celebrating the goal (aka kicking the corner flag) was just ludicrous imo. There the referee should have been way more lenient. Fortunately Brugge managed to get away with that away point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
