Consigliere Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If Rashford isn't 100% then we might as well just rest him. Liverpool away is a definite loss anyway. Would be pointless risking him in a game in which we have maybe a 1% chance of picking up a win. Not the best game but we managed to get through. Could have done without this replay nonsense though. Thought Nuno made a weird decision playing Traore on the left - he didn't have a bad game but it was always going to be more difficult going up against Wan Bissaka than Williams. Also, Williams is better than Shaw and Pereira is just a Brazilian Lingard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Traore absolutely skinned AWB at one point, so it probably didn't matter too much which side he played on. He was okay but his passing was a bit off. (Though the same can be said for a lot of players in that match!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 AWB had a very good game and kept Traore in check for most of the game. So yes it did make a difference because AWB is one of the best defensive fullbacks around while defending is clearly the weakness in Williams' game. Guaranteed Traore would have posed more threat had he played on the right in his preferred position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is a rather strange one. LB is not an area I'd have thought Arsenal would look to reinforce. Kurzawa has also been quite shit especially defensively every time I've seen him play. Coming in on a free usually means higher wage demands as well. It seems rather short sighted to waste wages on a third LB who is inferior to the two they already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any opposition dares put in tackles on Liverpool players, they are banded a dirty team and an affront to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm not sure where all your fouling talk comes from. Really the only team we have a big problem with on that front is Burnley, and I'm sure we can both agree on that. Liverpool players do sometimes dive, but Dan James is an order of magnitude worse. And United get a ton of penalties too. Salah needs to be actually murdered these days to get anything! It sounds like OGS is willing to risk Rashford's career to have him play in the match on Sunday. United fans better hope the gamble goes better than the one he took with Pogba in the Carabao Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Can we all agree that Man Utd fans and Liverpool fans moaning about their teams lot in life, deserve the same scorn Ricky Gervais heaped on Hollywood. Ffs every decision goes your way and you have both won about 20 trophies minimum since I was born. In that time Newcastle have won the Texaco cup, or maybe it was the intertoto cup, it was so trivial I cant even remember. Some nonsense trophy anyway.

Soylent Brown Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There will always be teams worse off than our own, BFC. That goes for Newcastle supporters too. Should there be a competition to find the shittest club in existence, with the winners the only supporters who can grumble on the internet?

Or maybe Sunderland. Those poor fuckers have really had stuff to moan about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
