James has barely scored a goal since 2021

Colwill is a poor decision maker and a poor tackler

Not a great performance overall but eh, we are clearly a work in progress. Top 4 sitting above Arsenal, Villa and Spurs after 10 games. League is hard and no games are given for free these days - see City + Arsenal results. I'm pretty happy overall.

Can hardly complain about the draw vs Forest, they are ahead of us in the table and looking excellent this season. PL is hard.

Arsenal and City both dropping points in games they are favourites for, nice reminder that PL is hard af and we should not be so hard on our guys when they can't win literally every game

100%. The stamp on Neto's foot when we were defending a corner for example was clearly intentional.

Sanchez is our best shot stopper by a mile and we have defenders who leave their GK in serious situations multiple times per game. Might be unpopular but honestly think Maresca is right in picking him at the moment, even as shit as his distribution is compared to Jorgs, we would be worse off with him in goal overall in PL imo. Obviously, scouts/directors should have found us two better goalkeepers than Sanchez+Jorgs (+Kepa+...), but that is another matter. Maresca works with what he's got and when he speaks to the press he speaks positively about players who there is no intention from the scouts to replace, because what the fuck benefit is there in doing otherwise?

Penalties are quite simple to understand: is it a foul, and was it in the box? This incident passed 50% of the criteria.

Hard to follow your posts and what they mean but if you are referring to the Nkunku "pen", it was never a pen

Lets all laugh at Man Utd Actually going to get relegated

Not only did Reece play well, he didn't get injured or get a red card I guess Enzo must have had a word

That was never a pen tbf

Another example of "should have passed to Cole" there, this time from Nkunku (not this incident for pen, but a couple of mins ago). Selfish fuckers trying to prove a personal point in our group who are not accepting just how much better Cole is than them. Just pass him the fucking ball you muppets.

Isak how embarrassing man

I really don't get why we are not giving the ball to Cole more. He is our cheat code and they are letting him have space. Just give the man the fucking ball. Pattern of play: look up, is Cole free? Give him the ball. If not, do something else. Tried and tested method.

Commentator saying the VAR decided it didn't stop Madueke getting to the ball...Who cares? He fouled him. A foul is a foul.

Can't help but think we don't fully utilise Palmer - players take on shots and pass when they are in reasonable spots to do so, but Palmer is often right there too in space... I know who I want taking the bulk of our shots.

Somehow our defenders always stretch out a huge leg to play people onside and then can't use that stretched out leg to do anything useful like get in place to make a challenge or clear the ball. Not just in this play but see it all the time from us.

Whatever we pay Joe Shields, it isn't enough

Will Colwill ever learn you can't win every ball? He's a penalty / red card waiting to happen every game.

Wonder if the bookies are taking bets on Reece to finish the game uninjured?

Enzo is officially now a B teamer with Nkunku, Felix and co then I guess.

Blimey that lineo looks about 30 years too old to be sprinting down the line

He is excellent on the ball but loads to learn otherwise, player for the future... Mourinho would definitely not play him, if we stick with him he should come good with some years in him

I'm sure he's been told... He is an excellent player, but clearly a moron
